Boy do I know this feeling! I've been on my World Designer for seemingly ages (ok, since about November 2006). Its getting more complex, but also more robust. Some things pop up that you didn't plan out right in the beginning and result in setbacks such as recoding and restructure. I guess you live and learn.
Anyway, this entire project, basically a map editor, came about from building a game and I thinking, "Hmmm... Let me just build a simple map editor to handle map creation so I no longer have to do it the extremely hard way!" yeah. ok. Anyway, its nearing a point it can actually be used for what I originally intended it for. It has a *lot* of extra stuff I wasn't originally intending it having. I made some great progress today tho. I worked out a few bugs that bothered me for some time now, and added a few features it was in need of having. I actually took a look at my original design and took a laugh. Maybe soon I'll start the game again, this time re-coring the engine to match the map file. Once its up and going for a bit, I'll find some stuff I'll need to add. :P
Even tho it seems at times a battle, I enjoy it too much not to do it.
