I have something of a shifting interests problem, where I sort of switch between more projects than I would ever have time to work on if I were to really focus on all of them. After a month or two of break from it (which occurred after a burst of tremendous progress sort of slowed to nothing), my interest has shifted back to Jen's Quest again.
Jen's Quest development is kind of stalled because I suck at designing puzzles, but that doesn't mean I'm not working on the game. I feel it's important to have a story that's larger than could ever fit in the game itself, because it lends a higher degree of realism to the part of the story that does get into the game (plus it leaves room for sequels, deeper exploration in written form, etc.), so that's primarily what I've been working on.
This October marks the five-year anniversary of the release of the first Jen's Quest demo, if I'm not mistaken. I'm kind of sick of it being incomplete. I think I'm going to make a concentrated effort toward finishing this game. Don't take that as a promise that it's coming next week, or even next month -- it's definitely not coming next week and it is very, very, very, very unlikely to come next month. I'm just saying I really want to settle down to working on this project and not shift to any others until this one is completed.
