The worst part of being an indie game dev

I've been working on an indie game for the past year and I hit rock bottom. I had come up with a dope idea for a game: running a medieval tavern with your friends. I fleshed out a lot of the components, built a fun environment, set up customers, added serving mechanics, decorations, lighting, npcs. I even had the room temperature IQ idea to add multiplayer, but hey, people said it looked great. There was a lot of excitement, constant discord pings asking when I was releasing it, but I became really bored with the project, and lost all interest.
