Happy 2011, Dragons & Dragonettes!

Need I say more?

Feel free to discuss resolutions and suchlike in the comments. Here’s mine: learn a game engine, and build a small game. (Unity or Unreal, I’m thinking…I keep flip-flopping between the two.)

    Happy new year 🙂

    My resolution is finishing college finally (even though I think I will be there with at least one subject left for 2012).

    I would also like to learn some more game programming. I’m tired of the boring and useless programs I have to do for college (few are worth the effort…).

    Kenneth Hynek:

    There is actually no limit on levels un Ultima VI Online. however it takes LOTS of experience. It may even be easier to level soon. We have a publish coming out thats definitely coming Aiera’s way.

    Have the courage to continue my project and get U4 and U5 supported in the end! Potentially at some point in 2011, invite a couple of people to join in on the fun once the project is mature enough and I can let go 😉

    And of course, take care of my love all throughout the year 😉

    To learn UDK (Unreal Development Kit) and make my own game. I’m thinking a space sim, or Ultima-esque isometric fantasy.

    Mine is to finish the first release of Beautiful Britannia within the next 5 years. However, I have further ideas for the next 20 years…

    Firstknight: Wow, that’s…a pretty long development window. Are you padding your estimates, by any chance?

    I mean…20 years on, will Windows (or whatever comes afterward) still even be able to run games made for an operating system that will be — in that day and age — older than the average game developer? (Assuming, that is, that the average game dev age remains constant at 24 years.)

    I suppose virtualization will have improved by then, though, so maybe.

    Fearyourself: You’re making excellent progress; I’m sure you’ll hit that goal before year’s end. Indeed, were I a betting man, I’d put money on you hitting it before my eldest sister’s next birthday (July 1).

    Browncoat Jayson: Good luck to you, sir!

    Iceblade: I will post news of it! Thanks for the notice.
