I suggest doing what monokuma said. Having a schedule and sticking to it is the best way I've found to do things. And most important: Don't read too much into complaints. It's best to learn to separate comments between constructive criticism and just plain complaints. The last one you should try to ignore as best as possible, even if sometimes it seems hard to. People are idiots, and that will never change (and might even worsen with popularity), so you should instead focus on those that do appreciate what you are doing. Those are just my two cents. XD

Your work is well anticipated, and well received! I really do appreciate everything you have been doing!

I just wanted to toss in my 2cents and echo some other commenters in saying: Pace yourself! I think the groundwork you're setting up is amazing, and the 'engine' looks way better than any of the other games I've seen in this niche. Take care :)

Wow, I honestly haven't been paying a whole lot of attention due to constantly traveling. You really need a break. I would seriously recommend at least two days off. Preferably two days that coincide with your job's days off. Spend that time with family, or other things. Burnouts suck, and I too am extremely prone to them. You have been making extremely good progress so far. I truly hope to help out when I am done traveling. Good Luck!!!!!!!

As someone with experience from the startup scene (kinda similar to indie projects in many ways) my best tip for avoiding burnout is: 1. Set a number of hours you will work every day and a number of days per week you will work. Stick to this schedule religiously. 2. Take several short breaks during your work hours, avoid doing anything work related or talk about anything work related in these breaks. 3. Take at least one day off per week. 4. Avoid falling into the trap of measuring productivity by hours per week. 5. If you do get burnt out, reduce the number of hours per day you work, but try to keep to a schedule still. Having some kind of structure is important for keeping up momentum. Hope that's helpful.
