To those looking for the motivation to make your game, I say don't bother with the motivation. Do something on the side. Doodle new maps in your game while watching a stream or some videos in another tab. By the time a few hours have passed, you'll have a whole new map you can work with.
Sometimes it's best to just go with your heart. One of the quests in my game involved cornering a Dedenne and its partner. Three cutscenes in, I accidentally had one of the events create a copy of the Dedenne and move it alongside the main one. I rolled with it: Now there's a Dedenne and his partner.
Then I was gonna have the Dedenne fight you to protect his partner, which was ultimately how you were going to catch it, but then I thought it'd be easier to have one of the Dedennes end up in a perilous situation while the other runs away, letting you choose to fight it or, if you hate Dedenne, leave it to its fate.
THEN I decided that the Dedenne wasn't in trouble at all, and was actually tricking you. If you help it, it'll steal your berries.
Open up a stream of consciousness in your game and you'll find inspiration to continue the important stuff on your own.
