  One thing I&apos;ve noticed is that it&apos;s almost impossible to tell if a particular idea is good or bad without implementing it.

  Love that I found this video. The &quot;wanting to make a successful game&quot; idea really resonates with me and maybe I&apos;ll try to make some silly games for a game jam some time. Thanks!

  Your video really hit home for me. I’ve struggled with a lot of the same things you talked about—questioning ideas, losing motivation, perfectionism, and sometimes forgetting that making games is supposed to be fun.<br><br>About six months ago, I finally decided to buckle down and make the game I’d dreamed about making. I’m a plumber with no professional game-dev background, and I’ve spent a few hours almost every day building Dungeon Crawl 94: What Was Taken in GameMaker. It’s finally releasing September 30th.<br><br>Finishing it has been a dream come true, but it’s also taught me how mentally exhausting game development can become when a hobby starts feeling like a job. After release, I’m taking a much-needed break and getting back to simply enjoying games again. Your video was a good reminder that the enjoyment of creating matters too. Thanks for sharing this.

  This is really impressive output man! &nbsp;Good job. &nbsp;You can totally see how you are getting better and better. &nbsp;Hot Tub Soup honestly looks like a game worth spending 3/4 months on to make a releasable Steam-version game out of. &nbsp;It&apos;d translate really well to a desktop idle type of game. &nbsp;Having a bad turnip dance around your desktop, lol, it would work man. &nbsp;Put&apos;em in the soup!
