Thanks for all your input guys taken it all on-board as many have said we are all different and do what works best for ourself's i think in the future i'll try not to take such a long break as it is distracting and hard to get back into. I think taking a good 2 or 3 weeks break after finishing a project is probably the best idea but i guess sometimes enough is enough and better take that long break than crash and burn and maybe not recover.

yes perhaps 2 weeks is extreme but in my case i needed it or i was close to crash and burn maybe a few days is better in most cases to refresh, reboot and go again but i know what you mean it's going to be hard getting back in but i find for myself once i start again i'm ok and go at it fairly hard

Take a break !!!
Just spent the last 2 weeks not doing much except the things i like to do in my spare time. Now i feel refreshed and will be back into it in a few days game development sure isn't an easy thing as you need be a jack of all trades if you have a limited budget and need to get things done. Game Design, Story telling, Graphics, Music, Sfx, Coding, Websites, Blogs, promotion etc. Oh and the game needs to be fun !

If you've hit the wall do youself a favour and have a break ! it helped me and i know it can help you

voting is now closed, i have come to the conclusion not many have taken this 'seriously' thus the survey is complete.

That looks interesting Rob, i'm yet to do pathfinding for my game i know it's gonna be tricky but i look forward to the challenge. Yours seems to work fine, those assets look good though i couldn't find anywhere on the website that talks about the license except for the words commercial license for individual product.

cool thanks for that, i've been playing with lighting on layers also i know others have used actors it's interesting to see how others implement things and it's great encouragement to see things running smoothly in a game like yours.

Game Art / Re: Would you pay for this art?

I guess if i was super pressed for time and needed something fast i could buy it for the right game but at the end of the day they're basic and many could do it without a fuss, that being said keep up with it maybe make a set of graphics and build a portfolio if that's what you interested in. For myself even though my assets are basic it kinda suits the gameplay so it's all cool and i guess yours could suit someone's game also. Stick at it if that's what you really want to do.

I like some of the things you're doing with coding as well as the creative approach although the style of game may not be for me i can appreciate the effort gone into it. How did you approach the lighting by the way, using a big actor with a hole ?. All the best with it
