2018 Goals

• Kick Cereal Killer back up again.

• Get gooder at mapping.
• Make some more midis.

Non Doomy things:

• Buy a new car.

My list is quite simple:

1. Survive.

2. make at least one map

3. Finish my MIDIs for Rebirth Midi pack

Release a commercial standalone GZDoom game

Actually have something playable to show for that UMAPINFO project I off-handedly mention now-and-then.

Continuing to improve my gaming skills, learn new things, improve old techniques, improve my flexibility, learning from my mistakes and improving from them, finish reading some manga, watch new anime, fixing some flaws and maybe expanding my YT channel to other stuff.

- Drink green tea instead coffee for good.

- Keep developing my graphic/sprite projects (which I failed to contribute 2017)

I think this qualifies as at least one of the top 2 posts in this thread?

To me, some goals will appear on its own rather than wishing for it :)

Of course, I'd need some objectives to fulfill before reaching those goals.

• Get an internship. I can make time for Doom later on, but this really shouldn't wait.
• Plug away at finishing major WADs I've found via Cacowards and /newstuff.
• Experiment with map-making and practice giving map/bug feedback.
• See if anyone at my university might want to try classic Doom-ing both alone and in co-op (we have a great gaming center at the library, but everyone's there for Smash or eSports-focused games).
• Build stronger work ethic and organization; writing and reviewing short stories with friends will help.
• Read something beneficial everyday and cut down on social media overload. Pruning my Twitter should do the trick.

happy new year everyone.

getting more free time, including for playing doom, would be enough of a goal for the time being.

btw, nice to see the resolution threads from 2016 and 2017 linked. who here has met the goals he / she has stated then?

Release a monsters-only version of Super Shuffle? :v ( I know it's wrong but I can dream though I still love Super Shuffle as is <3 )

Real Life Goals:

• Try to publish a book
• Improve my physical health some (especially since I've been dealing with gout for the past three-ish weeks)
• Improve my mental health more (by spending less time on social media and community websites and just walking away from situations full of negativity, cynicism, and snark)
• Do volunteer work
• Apply to grad schools

Doom Goals:

• Get back into Doom multiplayer because I don't know why I stopped in the first place. I had nothing but good times when I played it (even if I am a nubcake).

❄ Get more wads done than art

❄ Wrap up Diablo's Pond

But... wads are art  ;)

Get at least my 4800 HKs submission done, hopefully more maps if time and skills allow
Finish gameplay videos of vanilla Doom and Doom 2

Continue my journey of playing almost every wad in existence

Get a real adult job

Begin and finish my cybersecurity degree

My main Doom goal this year is to release a map, either individually, or in a mega project, since it seems darkmoon it's going nowhere, make a better "zombie apocalypse" simulation wad (i've already finished it last month, but i feel i can improve it) and maybe release a video about it

As for non doom goals, finally buy a car, learn to drive it and not crash it

• Finish everything necessary in the core of Hunter's Moon to start working on its true campaign
• Finish my 'megawad' campaign in Doom 16' SnapMap
• Hopefully start pre-producing this as a standalone FPS game rather than just a concept.
• Release more Industron maps after finishing Main UAC Hangar
• Probably make one or two musics as usual

• Completing my Ultimate doom wad with maps e4m1-e4m9
• Finishing my Final fantasy IX Lets play on youtube

review of my 2017 goals

Eat less sushi. I love sushi. 

- Get back on track with my Heretic and Hexen projects (for each, a map set and a custom texture WAD as its companion project)

- Actually test and review the large stack of add-on CDs I've collected over time.  I've sort of been doing that on my website for a while but the current listing there is both out of date and rather halfassed.

- Play through more of the old classic megawads that I either never played, or only ever played partway.

- Program some tools to help with WAD comparison and analysis (going along with the add-on CD thing... make it easier to figure out what's changed when there are two slightly different versions of a WAD out there and similar tasks)

- Get back on track with my initiative to upload more of the missing-from-idgames WADs for Heretic and Hexen that I've been able to find.

- Possibly mess around with some source port coding stuff but that's more of a back burner idea at the moment.

Doomy goals:

• Make few maps to community projects
• Make a map or few on my own
• Try use something else than vanilla textures...

Non-doomy goals:

• Buy Vive and play more GORN :D
• Improve my skills with Unity
• Learn to make proper pixel art
• Stress less about work.
• Try to find miss muumi

Also play Half-Life 2.

- releasing Doomiablo

I recommend against learning Japanese.  You'll have to deal with fat, slovenly, socially awkward and obnoxious weaboos who'll tell you that Japan is the greatest thing since sliced bread. You won't have that problem with Mandarin or Cantonese.  

Somehow I doubt there's a lot of hentai in Cantonese.

Release a map. I have multiple maps that were started and never finished. I want to make a map that will be finished!

I guess I could give mapmaking a serious attempt this year.
