Thank god it's not just me! I always found finishing a game to be extremely difficult - to the point where I have stopped making them all together. After being done with 90% of a game you still seem to have 90% of the work left to do. kylemaxwell is right that this happens with many endeavors but it seems to happen with games the most.


This reminds me of the Pareto Principle : It takes 20% of the total time to reach 80% of the project. It takes the other 80% of the time to achieve the remaining 20% of the project. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Pareto_princi... One of the most important thing I've learned.


And if you can identify the last 20%, eliminate it and you become 4x more efficient.
