The thing I've been thinking about recently is that when you're working on a very large project like the game I'm developing, I'm not sure I have the patience to work on a single project as a sideline for several years. I wonder if it's a case of blitzing it full time and finishing in a few months or not finishing it at all because you're so fed up you've moved on to something else.
- tortilla 17y agoI think it depends on your project. Some projects require huge bursts of energy in a short span and others can be developed incrementally over a longer period of time.
- ddemchuk 17y agoI agree with that. I have a few small side projects in mind as well as a bigger one, and the only thing that keeps me focused on them is when I'm done working for the day, I put together a list of all of the stuff I want to add the next time. That way, I have a clearly defined list of milestones waiting for me the next time I get to the app, rather than having to rejuice my brain when I have some more time to work. Also, I've been spending time thinking about how to create small, focused, monetized, short-term development apps that can bring in some revenue so I can start cutting back on my daytime work hours. That way I can get some more dev time each day.
