I did finish the serialization and structure of the tile/map system but that was about it, I'm going to try and claw back some progress today.
i learnt that no matter how hard i try i cannot concentrate while my partner is interrupting me every ten minutes, all trying does is frustrate me and make it harder to concentrate.
So, I've decided I'm going to fit my project work in around the times when she is not here or asleep.
Sounds drastic when i read it back but i cannot stress enough how much energy it saps trying to work with someone hovering.
This is mostly due to the fact my computer is in the front room(it's a massive open plan area).
one thing is for certain, if i ever do this professionally i need an office or at the very least a separate room with a lock.
Progress wise I'm almost through the map/rendering system and the camera system is still to be done.
No screenies unfortunately but as soon as i have I'll post it.
I need to figure out why today was such a write off even though i had at least 1.5 times the workable time than i did yesterday.
Stressful day today and i can't even pinpoint why.
First, how hard is it to tell your partner that this is important to you and that you wish not to be disturbed? Surely if your partner would understand that this is important to you, you would not be bothered every 10 minutes, or dragged to a pet shop, or go shopping for 5 hours. How hard is it to move a computer to another part of the house? It is not your partners fault, and using it as an excuse will not make this a success, it will just make it a failure with excuses.
Second, why are you so rigid about what time you spend when? I don't get how you can already look burned out on a project from the start. I don't see enjoyment, I see all these tasklists and hourly schedules. And you wonder why it is stressful? I think you truly need a vacation instead of working on this game.
Honestly, I think your heart is not in it. When I get up in the morning I want to get to work on my game as soon as possible, it is something I truly enjoy, for you it sounds like a chore. So why not start when you have had some real rest, and are truly looking forward to working on this game? You are not obligated in any way to work on it and it looks like you deserve a real vacation.
If you do decide to work on it, lighten up! You will not get things done any faster by making schedules, no one needs you to make schedules. Just sit down, work, when you get tired, take a break, when you feel energized, start working again. Listen to your body instead of to some awkward schedule, the only reason work schedules exist is because you normally get paid by the hour. If this all fails, then maybe you are not suited for working alone, and you might want to look for a partner or team.
