Finding It Hard To Mod SOMA...

[Kreekakon]

Every single time you find yourself down in the pit like this, just remind yourself: Why is it that you mod?

If the answer back then was a burning passion to share your work with the world, then that should be reason enough to keep pushing forward. Not everyone is going to be appreciative of your work, but that doesn't mean there aren't people out there who will be. If you put your back into it and motivate yourself to create something that you put your heart and soul into, then it really will show. I will tear off my own head if it turns out that not a single person in the world fails to appreciate something that was genuinely (super keyword) filled to the brim with your wishes and love to make it the greatest thing you ever wanted it to be.

You still have a privilege that many artists do not have: You are doing this in your free time. It is not something that is going to decide where your next meal is coming from. It's just a hobby so your mod growing popular should not be something that will determine your life.

If your mod is something that you really just wanted to show the world because of your passion on wanting it shown...then you'll notice that if even just a small handful of people appreciate your work then it will be more than enough to feel like your time was not wasted.

Realize your passion. Realize that you should do mods not because you want to get popular. You should be doing them because you want to and showing them to friends, family and peers who WILL appreciate it.
