App Store Search Optimization
I apologize for being redundant as this is a topic I have brought up before but I feel it's important:
I couldn't figure out why HyperPad doesn't come up in the App Store when using search terms "Game Creator" "Game Engine" "Game Coding" "Make Games" etc... Checking to see if anything had changed, I noticed Codea doesn't come up either (only GDevelop)
Codea is in the Productivity category. HyperPad is in the Developer Tools category. GDevelop (the only one that that comes up) is in the Education category.
GDevelop (what I was using before I found out Hyperpad existed even though I had ran previous searches) is a mess in comparison and it has 4 times the reviews. I have to believe it's because people aren't finding HyperPad.
Perhaps changing the category to education is a necessary step. If you already looked into this and it's outside your control, my bad. Thought it was worth a heads up.

RE: How do you stay motivated on long-term game dev projects?
People often get stressed with a new activity then look at said activity as inherently stressful. People say, "game dev is really hard" a lot. That's a bad way to start anything...
Stress spikes when a person tries to perform a task that exceeds the person's functional understanding. For instance: a person can know how to draw in linear perspective but still get flustered when the variables get so dense it's disorienting.
Especially at the beginning, try not to stress yourself out. Choose tasks you can wrap your head around to get some satisfaction then quit while you're feeling good, not when you're burnt. That last part is extremely important. You're developing a habit which means you need positive association.
People often say they quit and they don't know why... They came to the stark reality that perception of what they're capable of and what they are actually capable of do not align. It's the Dunning-Kruger Effect and it's not just you, it's everyone. Choose the lowest level task possible, find enjoyment in small victories and quit while you're having fun. You can hard grind later. For now develop a habit.
Not trying to be a know it all just been in multimedia for a long time and have watched people falter due to the same variables over and over. Perhaps knowing the stress is coming and that it's just the brain saying too much too fast even though the workload seems reasonable can help ✌️❤️ -
