I go through this a lot, losing faith with projects, getting it back, losing it again…  Sometimes it results in finished work, the rest of the time it results in stress only.  I feel that way about Amnesia often.  I don’t want to make it unless I can make it a well as I imagine it – on the other hand I don’t think I can make it as well as I imagine it.

Soul Brother’s one of those projects that’s just outside of my ‘comfortably achievable’ zone.  I’m still not sure if I can finish it, but that being said I’ve done a little more work on it.  It’s slow and laborious though, partly because of the unfamiliar level design ideas I have to deal with as a result of the mechanics.  It took more than a day to make the room below this post, believe it or not (ok I was tired, the week after my wedding to the lovely Kanako Byrne, neé Koseki…  We had a lovely little do last week, ending up punting down the Cambridge rivers with almost all my favourite people in the world, and plenty of champagne.)
