Blogland: Motivate me, BLF.

[McJob]

I've got basically 2 weeks to finish my major project. I had to restart all of the content last week (I can keep the engine code I developed). I basically need to be crunching and working on it every day to reach competition...but I can't.

I loving hate this thing. I really, absolutely, truly hate this project and I believe it's one of the most terrible things I've ever worked on. Unfortunately, the college wants me to put it in an exhibition and it has to go on my portfolio, so I'm expected to make it great.

I've forced myself not to touch Fallout 4 yet, and in fact the only game I've played in the last few weeks is a few minutes of Undertale. But now I'm just wasting time reading reddit/BLF because I don't want to work on this loving thing.

What do I do?

what do you mean it has to go on your portfolio? I can't think of any way a college could have the authority to decide what you put in your portfolio

Aside from one or two titles, I don't have any other presentable works.

Text Adventure game. There's like 5 rooms and not many interactables. Any more and I'd take myself out of the genepool now.

maybe you should work on abstractions to make all of that easier to make

That's what I spent the last 10 weeks doing. The only thing I have left to do is the content (add localised text to the database, add the condition checks for all the different types of interactions and states, add graphics and audio).

It's actually extremely easy. I'm just a baby who, whenever I open Unity, immediately goes to a browser and does something else. I just can't slap myself into focusing.
