Completing a Flash Game: The Worst Part

I basically finished my newest game (which I cannot share with you for the sake of keeping it exclusive) a month ago. After that, I kept thinking, oh, I'll make the final adjustments and complete my game tomorrow. The only problem was, I never really got around to doing it. I would work on it a little here and there, but I never really made myself finish the game. There was always one more little thing I could do to make it a bit better, and each time I sat down and worked with flash, I would get a fraction closer to finishing.

But it was only when I realized that the summer days were running out when I knew I had to finish the game fast. The thing was, it took me much longer than I had expected. Just to make the final touches on my game took two days alone. It was torture. With every passing moment, I wanted more and more to finish it and get it sponsored (hopefully). What I'm trying to say is, never think that your game is done until it is. I could have finished my game almost a month ago, and already be well into another.

Well, next time.
