Goals For 2009

Yac on January 21st, 2009

I want to share my goals for 2009:

Finish the game: I want to finish the game this year. If things go according to plan, and I keep the scope of the project within reason, I’ll be able to wrap things up in 2009, even as a console title. Whether it gets released this year is a different matter. If I’m pushing right up against Christmas, I’ll let the release slide into the new year. I was kind of surprised not to be included in this list.
Earn some money: Whether through the game, or through some other project, I want to earn some income in 2009, enough to justify the plunge into indie life. At some point, this whole venture has to start paying off in order for me to continue living as my own boss.
Enter the IGF: I was not very happy that I missed the deadline this year, but I won’t dwell on the past. If the project continues as expected, I will definitely have something to enter this time around.

That’s pretty much it. The goals are ambitious but reasonable. We’ll see how I do.
