I’ve got a couple of game development-related new year’s resolutions for myself, and I thought I’d share them.

First of all, I’m going to finish things that I start. I will allow myself to shelve things, but I will finish them. I leave too many neat things unfinished. Enough of that.

Second, I will make things other than scrolling shmups and platformers. I make too many of them, and I need to broaden my experience beyond that stuff. I will still make some of them, but it won’t be all that I do.

Third, I will complete at least one mid-sized project. I want to accomplish at least something this year, and a good, mid-sized game seems like it would be the thing to do.

Finally, I will improve my artwork. This doesn’t just mean making my art look better, but being able to draw things that I currently have a hard time drawing. (Such as characters in isometric perspectives)

I’m hoping that I can hold to these, as I think they’re things that I really need to do.

Peace
