I’m a bit on a gamedev block right now, how do you usually get out of it?

Lots of ways, not all which are in my control, but the one that is in my control the best?

Rest.

Lately for me it’s watching a really enjoyable movie. I didn’t really have the beans for creating anything new, then I watched Saw X, and poof– I’d suddenly created a new character for a Monster of the Week tabletop game - complete with a backstory - who I’m slightly obsessed with.

Trying something new really helps for me, like a new genre you haven’t experienced much, be it movies, music, games, whatever. :)

This is more or less what I was going to reply, I find exploring new genres and mediums I don’t know that well to be hugely influential in creating my own stuff and often results in me wanting to create stuff within that genre or medium.
