I genuinely consider two of my greatest accomplishments to be building a game and composing a song.

Neither are very impressive, but in both cases, I ended up having to simply decide I was done and stop working on them. I could continue making changes indefinitely, adding little improvements and such every day, but they were also complete as they were. Once I learned to be okay with that and move on, I learned what finishing a project really meant (or at least one form of it).



‘Art is never finished, only abandoned’ - Leonardo Da Vinci


I've composed and released several albums and it's still exactly as you describe.

With any art, a certain amount of polish is desirable but too much will destroy the essence of the work.

I will find myself actively making a song worse... and then go back a few versions to find the peak.


Can you post game link ?
