Re: Loss of Motivation in a Professional Environment
**Disclaimer - I'm not a professional artist, my professional career has been in healthcare technology - I'm not sure how a professional art studio works, but I can suspect that it works quite a bit like a professional software development team.*** For the first 4 years of my career I worked at a large, Fortune 200… -
Re: Loss of Motivation in a Professional Environment
Its an interesting thread. I have been thinking a lot of what it takes to motivate people. I guess working hard and showing attention and things coming together is a big boost of confidence and satisfaction individually but also as a team. But as things have been said here, if you have bad management or that someone that… -
Re: Loss of Motivation in a Professional Environment
from my experience bad morale in the games industry comes from only a few areas: - inefficient processes causing lots of rework and overtime and continued problems - a lack of merit based, or evidence based, decision making These can both be the cause of each other. The best way to increase morale is to fix these problems.… -
Re: Loss of Motivation in a Professional Environment
its been already said but, a good trick to get out of the 'negative' thoughts is just have a good time, go outside or go back and enjoy the masterpieces that inspired us to get in this industry in the first place ...for example I really like playing retro games like donkey kong country,megaman, or listening to your… -

I find even if im working on a huge AAA franchise that I know is going to get 8-9's reviews after working on the same project for a year + you get in the monotony groove, the first few months im always motivated and inspired, but once the long haul kicks in I… -
Re: Loss of Motivation in a Professional Environment
The game industry is very much like this all the time. Things get cut or reduced to the point where the real magic is lost at times. Making games of the AAA magnitude involves many tough choices for sure. I am glad your not totally disheartened :) Limbo happens especially at these stages. I think also the Next Gen push… -
Re: Loss of Motivation in a Professional Environment
I think sometimes you just need a change of scenery too... Not just a vacation, but a change of studio. A change of job (within the industry) can be very beneficial to your health, I think. It gets you out of your comfort zone and gets you doing something new. But most of these threads are always about what to do when you… -
