Have ya ever....

I downloaded and played my first demo, as my memory stinks, and I really couldn't remember what it was like, and after playing it, I said to myself that I had gotten really better at this Zelda making thing. In all honesty, I thought my old demo sucked majorly compared to what I had, I sat and nit picked everything apart and said "there is no way I made this".
Anyway, has anyone else thought this? maybe not to the same extent lol, but around that area?

Yeah back in my RPGM 2 days. I always had this. I made something and I'm like WTH when I show it to some one. I didn't do this! And to top it all off, it was embarrising when...when something completly messes up. For example an event walks the wrong way and starts talking to the wall or something. I felt so stupid

Yup, I've been that way. You look at something and realize that there was a better way of doing things. It's especially apparent when you compare your oldest attempts with what you're making now. Way back when (3 or 4 years ago), my games were like this:

Go to a town, go to dungeon with random enemies and almost nothing besides, rinse, repeat if you're not already asleep.

And now I try to go all-out. Makes me wonder what I was thinking in my early development days. How the heck did I think what I was doing was good, when it was in reality just plain awful?
