- 5 Tips to Overcome Scope Creep
The guy in this video also gives the tip to work on more or smaller projects while working on your "main project"

Most projects of indiedevs will never see the light of day unfort
@stux@mstdn.socialThe past year I've made 6 and released 5 games so far but all relative smaller ones

Ofc my first choice would always be building a MMORPG but in reality there's a good chance that will drain your creativity and leave you with nothing but a hole of time
Looking back, I spent so much time making the engine honestly one of the most impressive quickbasic RPG engines but even to an extent when the more impressive RPG engines on MS-DOS, but really I had more than enough game engine to put together a game with about 10 hours gameplay that probably would have been pretty popular out there in the wild. Instead I was always looking at the games like final fantasy that you could play for hundreds of hours, and the game engine that was perfectly acceptable for a 10-hour game was completely inadequate for a 200-hour game.
