If I were to start to make my game today, this is what I would focus on first, and how I’d organize all my ideas and my workflow.

Things take time to do.

Ans if you want them done well, they take even longer.

My favourite Silent Hill!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
And the one that inspired me making my own horror game 😭

[Gael 💜 @GaelTheDev]

Me having to go to my day job instead of working on my game 😭

[Gael 💜 @GaelTheDev]

Today I'm starting to add some life to my horror game inicial area.

Jane, the main character, wakes up in this room at the start of the game,
with no memory of how she got there!

For now, just doing a better bed model (still WIP)

I am making a survival horror game inspired by Silent Hill meets The Long Dark.

If you like horror games that focus on:
- Exploration
- Immersion
- Story
- Slow-paced horror
- No cheap jump scares

This one is for you.

I added a "tooltip" feature to the inventory in my horror game.
This "simple" feature took me 3h to implement.

You will experience it in 1 sec.

This is why games take so long to make and why slow progress is still progress.

I’m shifting my focus away from content creation and back to what actually matters to me, building my game, sharing the real journey, and creating for people who genuinely care.

Procrastination can look productive:

Planning

Tweaking systems

Doing side tasks

But deep down, you know when you are avoiding the real work.

[Gael 💜 @GaelTheDev]

You always have two choices.
You can choose the pain of doing, or you can choose the pain of not doing.

Both paths have a cost. The difference is what you gain from them.

So the question becomes simple.
Which path are you choosing today?

I have the time.
I have the tools.
I have the motivation.

And I still struggle to work on my game.

Loving something does not make it easy.
