New years resolution

First, I would like to mention what I have learned since starting this blog. It seems that I have fallen for the mistake that makes many people fail at game development: Being too ambitious.

Apparently, having 2 years of Computer science in highschool doesn't qualify a person to be able to make games. General programming knowledge is not enough for this field. You must study A LOT before you can make polished games with little bugs. I am glad I learned this sooner, rather than a year from now, or I may have quit trying.


Now then, for my new years resolution(Things I hope to get done before the end of the year, more idealistic than realistic):*

-Complete at least 1 of each project:
--A polished java app.
--A polished flash app.
--A Jedi Academy mod, wrapped up and published(I play Jedi Academy, BTW).
--A website hosting all of my polished projects. My goal here is to start building a resumé for SMU.

*I often find that making lists helps organize things to get done. Now if only I weren't so darn lazy!
