Game Dev - Plans for 2024
a year ago
My plan for the new year is basically to keep going with my current plans. I don’t have any sweeping changes or major new years resolutions or things like that. The closest I have in a plan to make more, smaller games for friends, but that’s more a new idea that happened to line up with the new year, so let’s get right to it.
-Smaller Games, For Friends-
For a while I’ve been coming to the uncomfortable realisation that my hope of making some classic game or creative work that would live on for years after I’m gone is unlikely. So I’m leaning towards making smaller projects with high turn around times, made specifically for certain friends or my own amusement.
-Film Making-
For years I’ve had ideas to make a feature film. I won’t bore you with the detailed backstory, but the short version is I saw some ultra low budget films that shocked me with their low quality, and big budget films and TV shows that seemed to burn through money with nothing to show for it. This got me wondering if I could do better.
This has been on my mind on and off for almost a decade, and each time I pass on it. I don’t have the friends or connections to make a film, and the cost to make a film I’d rather spend on other things.
Recently I’ve been putting some thought into making some short films. This would have a number of benefits, mainly it would be cheaper than making a feature length film.
-Music-
For a long time I wanted music to be something I remained ignorant about. A medium I could enjoy with my analytical brain going nuts. But unless I want to stick to stock music like everyone else, I’m going to have to learn it at some point.
-Videos and Blogging-
I might get back into making YouTube videos. I’d like to finish my reviews of the Simple Series. Recently I’ve been watching the 1985 Twilight Zone series, and writing reviews for each of the stories.
