Muz: I'm not tired of the game yet, I think the main reason why I never finished a game was because I'm a crappy coder, so I got discouraged, and just quit. I wish I knew about this site earlier; but oh well.
OMC: The energy-losing is definitely a big part.
BrandonC: YES, listening to music is the only thing that keeps me sane. -Well, not really, but I listen to music when I'm MMFing, drawing or doing doing chores. I usually have this music trail following me. So music is totally an amazing helper.
Being a crappy coder myself, what I do is make easier games for practice

Oh, remember that you can put counters and other objects in folders in the event editor. Right click them at the top there. That helps a lot. Hah, I know what you mean.. that's the very reason I started using Lua to deal with it. With Lua, you can make and refer to a counter in a tenth of a second without all that annoying clicking copying pasting in the event editor.
