After my previous post on this community, i read all comments and found lots of useful materials on gamedev.

For the firts couple of weeks i was completely involved into gamedev, learning, reading documetation, making project for hours every day. Next week i started to get bored with it. I was still making progress, but i just wasnt involved in it enough. Next week i got completely bored with it, and just left it. I tried to get back on track a couple weeks later, but wasnt successful.

I just cant find myself doing some work, like learning something new, for longer than two weeks. When i was younger, i tried to self learn programming, but couldnt to continue to learn for long. Now i know how to program, not because i personally was interested in it, but because i was taught it. Even if i will somehow learn to develop games, i dont think i will be able to work on same project for months or even years, which is always required to make good games.

Earlier i mentioned that i was bored, which is not what it seems it is. Making games is fun, and i want to do it. I just have a weird feeling, which i cant really explain what it feels like, and it prevents me from just opening the editor and continuing to work on a project i was doing last day, for unkown to me reason. Every time i boot my pc, i just look at that icon on the taskbar for a solid two minutes, until i decide to do nothing. Same thing at the next day, and a day after that, and then i just forgot i was actully doing that. I dont know why, but two weeks seems like the maximum i can spend on any big project, even if i am interested in it, and i know i have enough skill and time to complete it in reasonable amount of time.

So, what can you recommend me to do, to get me involved into game development, to get interested in it enough to actully commit enough of my time to make great projects?

    The bad discipline is what really holding me back. I tried to fix it by various ways, but it all comes down to that nobody is watching me. If there is nobody to tell me that i am not doing what i have to do, i have no iniciative to follow alarms, schedules and other stuff, because nothing bad happens when i dont.

    What you are saying about of torturing myself when i do stuff which is not fun, this is not exactly what you understand. There is boring and repetitive stuff which i really did not like doing. But most stuff i personnaly tried to get into is fun. Its just my laziness which overcomes the fun, and i dont know how to get away from it.
