2017 Review

Back in January 2017 I set some goals for myself for the coming year… it’s now time to see how I did: Reach a minimum of “Beta” status with my next game (or better ;-)) and get it out to my playtesters – FAIL, huge FAIL, I’m nowhere near BETA status Do at least two #screenshotsaturday’s again – I managed one (22/04/2017) so PARTIAL Find more time to work on my own projects – PARTIAL Be...

2016 Review

Well, it’s hard to put a positive spin on many things in 2016… I’m still reeling from the Brexit and Trump votes 🙁 Reach either “first playable” or “Beta” status with my next game (or better ;-)) – FAIL (I’ve done a fair amount but no escaping this as a fail) Do at least two #screenshotsaturday’s – DONE 30/07/2016 and 29/10/2016 Do at least one presentation/talk about my games – DONE 17/02/2016 Find more time to work on my...

2014 Review

At the beginning of 2014 I blogged a list of goals for the coming year. As a year has passed it’s time to review how well I did.

One year up

Wow, I can’t believe it’s a year since the first post on my blog. I feel like I should mark the occasion with some nostalgia laden review… Unfortunately I’m not very good at those so the best we can hope for is a vaguely coherent brain dump of the (larger) things I’ve done in the form of a bulleted list: Posted more than 70 times Learned a new programming language C# Begun to get to...

Goals for 2014

I’ll be honest, I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions… it’s not that I pick things I can’t achieve it’s just that I forget what they are and carry on regardless so the resolutions become meaningless. I also never review them the following year and work out how well I did. So, this year I’m going to try setting some goals (not resolutions) and, at the end of the year, I’ll review them and give...
