NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
Posts
author=NeverSilent
I want to be more serious about procrastinating less, and I also hope to both make and play more games on RMN, since I've done way too little of that last year. But I don't think that is specific and plannable enough to count as a serious resolution for the purposes of this thread. Still a great idea though, Seiromem! Good luck, everyone!
Yeah, mentioning resolutions like that is fine, it's welcome, actually. But I meant for this topic to be more for getting your resolutions completed rather than what you resolve to do. Saying you'll do something this year is fine; creating an outline breaking it into bits like this will (hopefully) help people continuously work on it.
If I hadn't posted this topic the day before the new year, I might have had time to actually flesh out the concept more and have it be easier to maintain but hey flashes of inspiration don't come at the right times, sometimes o-o;;
Anyways, if you posted a resolution in this topic, try and plan out a weekly/monthly objective that you can track! It'll make you feel like you're actually making progress while actually making progress!
Gam mak wise:
-remake Left Behind
-do maps for Might Be Magic
-finish Burnt Ones
-try to push single screen event
-10th birthday game
-return to Chain of Love
-make a gam about Mimics
-do more for the community
-try out that other engines I got
-participate in Low Res Jam
And play more rmn games.
Good luck, peeps!

I'm not going to make any Resolutions whatsoever, at all, and that's how Valor Emblem is actually going to be finished this time.
Good man, that’s the way to be. Hopefully you’ll (not) finish it this time. ;)
Anyways...here's what I want
- Get up to 75 reviews or more (I’m currently at 63, 64, or so)
- Reach the 7000 makerscore mark or more
- Submit, at least, another three more articles to the site
- Upload some media submissions (for god sakes, I do have FRAPS and some decent video editing software)
- Have more than 5000 posts or more in total
- Get some more achievos
- Finally submit a completed Monopolo that works, god damn it
- Submit a gamepage, at least, for Brian Okam’s Free Throw Challenge (completing it would be great, too)
And…the best resolution of all:
- The Vancouver Canucks finally win the Stanley Cup!
(or...at least the #1 overall pick in this year's NHL draft)
Well, hey, why not?
Proper Scheduling of my Days- 2016 was a poorly managed year for me, with set backs, snags and stalling galore on things I wanted to accomplish. Going to fix that with some orgnazing
Steadier Gym Attendance-Self explanatory; going to finally buckle down and do what I must to drop the weight I've struggled for years with.
More Active on Here- I dropped off the face of the planet for a bit but I need to come back around and be a bit more active in the community. It brought me joy, even if I'm terrible at expressing my opinions without being a complete knob at times.
Taking up a New Interest - Gonna be starting a Youtube channel with a friend and we've no idea where it'll lead, but I'm gonna start my own and dedicate time to just making videos of indie games and the like. Not really aiming for much but hey, it'll be cool if something came of either channel.
Better Sleep - Cuz, damn, do I need better rest. Which might tie into my last one...
Improved Dietary and Lifestyle- Despite spending so much time in my game room recording and gaming, I'm aiming to balance that with having an active lifestyle so I can be healthier in both mind and body. Ties in with the gym one, I suppose. lol

Okay, actual resolutions:
Game Make:
- Do my darndest to get Soma Spirits on Steam.
- Continue Crescent Eve, or absorb the assets into a smaller-scale project.
- Get better at pixel art.
Non Game Make:
- I turn 30 this year. It doesn't look like I'll be able to travel one more time before March, but I want to travel at least once this year.
- Find a better living situation and fly solo.
- Reconnect with a lot of the friends I've fallen out with in recent months due to work.

Two things:
Finish Immortal Sins
Work on a side project. The only thing I can say about it is that it will run in MV and it will be also available both as a Universal Windows Platform and the classic executable (along with Linux version).

This is a lovely thing. I'd have been fully onboard last year haha.
I have more underlying goals I have been steadily working at that are more important to me.
Clarity in words is one big thing to live this year : )
That said, let's say one review per month and one drawing every two weeks!
I need to learn to combine work in a mild manner and feel good doing it. (I LOVE going all out), especially as more goals are up the horizon.
I also want to have moved soon. I am apartment hunting and buying stuff I need. Next month likely.
Tho honestly, I have mild time lines. I do things as they feel good and proper, and once I found my thing, I will take it. There is a right time for things *grins*

And so the first day begins! Don't forget your resolutions, and stick to them!
Post here with your status (and your work, if you want!) of your work before your deadline comes and I'll update the thing!

Adorable Aberration!
AceofAces, good that your making progress,! Perhaps add on something like "Work on the project for X Hours a Week", those are the types of resolutions I asked for, as it should help you with staying on task. My favorite is spending an hour a day on something. That hour a day builds up over the week, and I often go over the hour if i'm in the mood.
