What are some of your aspirations this new year? Have any big project ideas? I'm starting on my second project now for mobile devices. My first, Backyard Zombies, has just went out on the Android Market(Check out the free version!).

I'm hoping I can land a bit of cash from BZ so I can buy some fancy new tools to develop with. I'm hoping for a new computer as well as one of those drawing tablets(Wacom I think is the brand idk).

So what are your plans for this year guys?

Releasing and hoping to finish up Alpha by this year.

I plan on completing a novel/novella, completing my Cave Story mod named Chocolate Sunday, and polishing up my Far Cry mod for a reluctant tech demo release.

Plus I plan on playing a whole lotta Skyrim & Mass Effect 3.

Good luck Amber, I'm not usually a fan of Lionhead because of how many times Peter has ended up misleading me, that and the frankly dodgy support I got when my Xbox was bricked by Fable2 (only happens to 12% of our customers.. so we cbf fixing it). But knowing you're working on it gives me a lot more faith.

Btw this is my new ringtone.

Don't listen to Peter - I know I don't. I'm only one cog in the machine of many.

I would like to finish A Short Tale of Solitude, and get a better feedback. :)

Sites like these are so nice. It feels good to know there's other people out there who share the same passion for game development. We're the future of video games!

Jan 6 2012, 3:02am Anchor

Finish up 2 games I couldnt quite get done in 2011 :)

* Become a better artist in every way!

* Finally start with proper 3D modeling.

And uhm ..

* Loose weight =/

I do Concept Art! Always on the look-out for cool projects. Please see my profile for previous work.

Jan 6 2012, 7:05am Anchor

A lot of things:
* Become better in 3D Modelling (and Texturing)
* Releasing an Alpha Version of my Project
* Trying to learn UDK
* become better at School :P

I'm thinking of learning how to texture models for SAGE engine, learning better modeling and maybe I'll learn some C++. I'm looking at starting a new project this year too, based on the Iran Iraq War, something left untouched for far too long.

"Stuff" (including hopefully some writing, designing, and Abstract work done. Yes everybody, I haven't forgotten about it, it's just fallen behind in my schedule).

Disclaimer -- the following below is NOT sarcasm:

Play Spec Ops: The Line. No, seriously, play it. NOW! It's probably still on sale on Amazon for crying out loud! I wish more games had balls like this game does, paired with some of the best writing, mechanics, and level design that's been seen this side of linear shooters.

Hmm  hopefully ill release that little annoying mod ive been working at... in november... huge task for me though.

I've been studying 3D and Animation for the past 2+ years. This is my final year, and I can finally do what I started the study for in the first place: make my own animation movie!
It'll be short (2:25 mins Trailer) and consist mostly out of 2D and a 30 seconds 3D part at the end. I'll keep upgrading my portfolio and web with new stuff, so look out for everything Mech Override related; and if you want, suggest me some catchier names. It's a Mech movie, obviously. So the title needs to at least hint at that. Also, I'll need some help finding good sites for voiceover (there will be a female narrator), and I'll need some feedback from you guys, here. I'll post my storyboard (without the ending, so there's no spoilers) here soon.

I'm hoping to get my mod, Lambda Complex: The Lost Chapter, a source remake/expansion of Half Life: Uplink, worked on. My goal is to have at least a decent trailer up in time for MOTY 2012. I need alot of team members, though, and due to other work, I won't be able to focus on this fully until at least March.

This is what I have found in regard to mods and generally life but mostly mods. If you cannot do it yourself then chances are you will not find someone who is willing to do it for you, if anything it sounds like a great time to expand your skill set.
