When will you ever actually publish your first game? Who knows.
If you find yourself in this situation, we are here to help you. Check out the few simple tips below, follow them, and hopefully you will be able to actually finish the game you are working on at the moment!

1. Set Goals
It’s very important to set goals for yourself. Make clear and realistic goals on what you want to achieve weekly or monthly. Don’t be overambitious in setting your goal, or you will lose your drive pretty quickly. Set goals depending on your own ability and working pace.
Break your goals down to little milestones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milestone_(project_management) ) , and celebrate those little milestones you’ve achieved. This way, you wouldn’t be too overwhelmed.  You can make daily to-do lists to help you reach the goals you’ve set.

2. Make Daily Progress
In order to finish your game, you need to be consistent in making a progress. Make sure to at least make a progress daily, no matter how small your progress is. If you find yourself stuck on what you’re working on right now, don’t dwell on it for too long! Move on and come back to it later.

3. Get Support from Other Developers
Making a game can be psychologically challenging. That’s why you need all the support you can get! Surround yourself with other game developers that have gone, or are going through the same thing as you. Go to forums (http://forum.melongaming.com/)  or create groups where you can share your difficulties and challenges. You can get motivated and motivate others to finish their games. It’s important to surround yourself with positivity, and stay away from those who hinder you from making a progress.

4. Maintain your Well-Being
Finally, don’t forget to look after yourself! This might be simple, but a lot of people tend to forget how important it is to maintain your physical and mental well-being when working on a project. Your body and mind condition can really affect your performance and motivation. Stay away from stress! Remember to go out, exercise, and eat well. Also, pay attention to your work area. Get organized and sort out any mess. A messy and chaotic work area will only add to your stress.Those are four simple, yet very important tips you should consider if you are stuck in a bunch of unfinished games! Hopefully you find them helpful and you will finally get around to finishing and publishing that first game.
