Don't worry! If your ADHD mind is anything like mine you wouldn't have finished the game anyway. Just 120 hours of non stop labour until you burn out and never touch the project again!

P.S. I am kidding. Issues like hyper focus with burnout are surmountable. Don't be afraid to start stuff. ADHD creators unite!
