Part of me has just lost all desire to finish my RTS since SupCom is now coming out. So now I sit here not sure what I want to make for a game. I got all this time in my game and feel like I wasted my time. Than I jumped on Vista and GL support isn't 100% and DX10 stairs at me. I not sure if my mind is saying overload, sick of crap changing and not working. All I know is that I need to get back into it soon....
I have no idea why, but for some reason I just can't get back into coding anything right now... Been this way for about a month or two. :( Has anyone else been to this point? If so what did you do to get past it.

Ah, yes! Burnout! I know it well (then again, I don't think I know of a programmer that doesn't).
What's the dealie with Supreme Commander? You _seem_ to be comparing your project to it and losing motivation because of it. I dont know much about your project, but perhaps you're not seeing the value in the work that you've done so far. Not only that but an aggressively large triple A title like SC isn't exactly a good benchmark for an independant developer to go by.
Like I said, I don't know much about your project, but I know it's easier for us to get discouraged than motivated. Just some thoughts...
- Is your game fun? Does it become any less fun based on what other titles are out there?
- Is the game accessible to casual gamers (unlike it's triple A counterparts that require a steap learning curve and/or mass time consumption)?
- What hardware will it run on? Not all of us have the latest and greatest.
- What price range are you shooting for?
- Are you just fargin' tired of programming? =b
Anyway, best of luck. Hope you're able to carry on with your project.

Yeah it's probably burnout. I been playing games lately to try and help me out. I don't know I guess I can keep on with the RTS game. Have to look at what I can do to make it fun still to play. My code base is GL2.1 so its not for older systems. Reason by the time I am done GL2.1 will be OLD... :)
Thanks for the input both of you. Maybe after next tuesday and a few days/weeks of SupCom playing I will feel more like coding again. :)

Basically, forget about coding and coding related stuffs for a while, go play games and do something else, relaxy and don't worry about it.
It'll come back in time...
