depends on what you mean by better....
recording wise is due to the browser (give me some ideas to try cause puffin, opera, UC, Firefox, IE, and edge all failed)
gameplay wise.... wait until i get my grids more leveled.... which will take a while cause light is my main one and i'm focused on that most
Motivation comes from each of these things:
Work- my job is crap, but pays well. Given I also live with others, i got a decent amount of my pay to myself since all I have to do is kick up some rent money
playing multiple games- it's a lot, but they're all games I like. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thrown money at them to begin with, nor would I play them long... Kamihime is a great example of it cause it's not only the game I play the most now, but also gets viewed more frequently on my youtube. speaking of...
recording vids- some of it comes from showing off what i do have, the rest is helping weaker players catch up. hard for someone to match another player in this game, but even still, it's more to give a general idea to how i've cleared the content and it has helped others do so too. step one to becoming a good player is to first clear the content you're aiming at anyway. step two... depends on how much you can grind (cause you still want to be stronger)
making my own game- this is something i've been trying to do for over 12 years... i didn't get the tools to do so until about 4 years ago (then they got a new version so i had to migrate everything to it), but believe me when i say that the planning led to tons of material i can use (including a 120 chapter story I posted on fictionpress)
so yeah, that's pretty much it... along with having a lot of patience too (only certain things would cause me to snap at someone), all i need is focus and a decent amount of sleep (ranges between 4-8 hours depending on the situation cause that job's random times they have me come in really is the main sleep issue and not the rest)
