Have you guys been looking at that programmer that wrote Stardew Valley? He did the whole project solo over 4 years with tools much less capable than Love. It just shows that if you have a good idea even solo you can do something great. Stardew Valley has sold over 500k units since release - which means $7.5M or so in revenue. A 2D game that looks like a 1980's retro is a hit in 2016! That's not bad for 4 years work - even if it was a tough grind.

So I am having the same issue about motivation, so I decided to reconsider what type of gamer I am.

The answer was very revealing, and now I'm motivated to build the type of games I actually [forgot that I] like to play.
