A project should be considered complete when it fulfills its intended purpose, even if it is not perfect.

#ScribesAndMakers May 2 Finishing a project: good enough or something more? Yes and yes. I am never completely satisfied, but there is a point I just let it go.

#ScribesAndMakers MAY-2 Finishing a project: good enough or something more? I don't really think of creative work along those lines. Like, I want it all to be good, of course. But my metric is more along the lines of "does this accomplish what I want it to accomplish?" If yes, I'm done. Sometimes this results in really effective outputs. Sometimes, though, it can be a bit of a barrier. I have this little video game that I set out to make, a mobile action game which I had very intentionally wanted to design for banging out a round or two in a few minutes while decompressing. And the prototype got to that point, where it was fun and engaging for that specific purpose, and then I just kind of... stopped. It did what I set out to do, but it's not in any way a finished game. So "does it accomplish what I want it to accomplish?" is a very sharp double-edged sword.
