08 Checklist! How'd ya do?!

1ce · **Posted:** January 1st, 2009, 9:37 pm

Similiar to last year, I asked the mag community to make a resolution of some sort related to rpgmaking, and the community acted in bold.
http://www.rpgmmag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5738
Now, here are the results of what people said and whether they pulled through or not.
And let it be known, there is no taking back resolutions. You either did it or not, and taking back a resolution takes the very meaning out of making one. So anyone who claimed to take back a resolution will not be ignored.

So, let's start!

*From me:

Quote:

Me, I'd like to get a demo out of one of the games I'm working on. And with any luck, I also want to release a game. Perhaps some small project.

Wrong and wrong. I didn't accomplish either of the resolutions I placed! What kind of role model am I?

*From Duel

Quote:

Krazy Week!

Gobli's Gang War!

Survival Z! These are my current projects slated for release.

No, No, and No! For shame, Duel

Duel wrote:

I will make sure to finish Monster Football and Krazy Week before this year ends. If I fail I will leave the Mag for 2 months, restricting myself from posting, viewing, or even entering the chat room.

And yes for Monster Football. While there's a demo for Monster, I'm going to count this if only because Duel has failed at many other resolutions.

*From Ixzion

Ixzion wrote:

Return to Exia is DEFINITELY coming out this year. It's pretty much 95% complete.

Yes! Return to Exia was released early this year.

*From Lausen

Lausen wrote:

My goal for 08... I would love to say releasing Holy-Chaos, but that might not happen. This is my baby and I'm not going to rush things. I want to play some of the new games that come out and write a review. I have done a few on the pav, but not here.

Nope. A no-show. Seeing how Lausen isn't rushing things, perhaps 09 is more likely.

*From Guar

Guarionex wrote:

I WILL finish my FIRST game, Unaverage Bill, and find a way to release it here, or die trying.

OK, scratch the dying part :rolleyes

Guarionex wrote:

While I'm not working on Unaverage Bill, I'll definitely release a demo of Rincar which if sort of a RM 1 version of UB this year, and maybe even the full game.

Nope and Yes! and It seems Guar has had some changing ideas over the year, which seem concentrated now. And we got a demo! Is th final product far off?

*From Karr

Karr Lord of Chaos wrote:

I'm heading in a positive direction with my game so I'll hazard to say that Crystal Shores will be finished by the end of the year. At the absolute least I will have a nice demo done hopefully in a few or so. It's going to be a fight to stay focused from here on out though, already sunk 300 hours into it.

Yes! While we didn't see a full game, a demo was released very late in the year, which gives a lot of hope to this project. Good luck Karr!

*From Kajak

Kajakfaucon wrote:

I plan to have a demo out by the end of the year for Valiant Cross.

Wrong We've seen some character creation, but not much else.

*Tanuki Power! Draygone

Draygone wrote:

Slayers' Reign will release this year.

A very bold statement, that turned out to be false. At the very least, the motivation to continue production has increased tenfold.

*From the Xix

The Xix wrote:

Only thing I'm gonna commit to for the time being is "Tales Of Valasia", the much awaited sequel to "Raiders Of Lekunder". It's already much overdue. Shouldn't have taken this long to produce, but... them's the breaks.

Wrong. Too bad, but hey, there's next year!

*From Zane

Zane Deadreich wrote:

Mercenaries 4 Hire, demo is only a few weeks away from being released.

Wrong. A new effort that didn't make it.

*From Perversion

Quote:

I'll go on the record as saying I WILL release the Series 3 demo, and one other project of my choice.....therefore, before the end of the year, I will have two submissions of some sort or another.

Double no. To my knowledge we have seen nothing from Perversion this year.

*From Ivan

Ivan Rosenguard wrote:

The God Gene WILL be released this year. I'd swear it on my mother's grave if she weren't still alive!

Nope. Ivan has disappeared lately. What happened to this promising game?

*From JANK

JANK wrote:

I think I should have Fantasia Saga done by the end of the year.

Nope. Here's another project that vanished as the yer went on. What a shame.

*From Mr. Revelle

MRevelle83 wrote:

I have Survival 2 coming by the end of the year, hopefully.

Unfortunately, no. The last resolution couldn't make it in time.

Whew! That was quite a bit of work, and I'm always surprised and happy that so many people make resolutions all year round. You guys are awesome.

And now, for the results.

Total predictions: 20
Failed: 16
Successful: 4

Hooray for those four people.

As you'll note, I didn't go back on any of my promises because I didn't make any. I've learned my lesson about promising a release date.

ErikaFuzzbottom · **Posted:** January 2nd, 2009, 1:41 am

Um, you got it all wrong. I accidentally said that a year early. It was meant for this year.

Lantis · **Posted:** January 2nd, 2009, 10:32 am

Lol, suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure... :rolleyes

I kind of take bo's stance... but I do plan on hitting up this year, come rain or shine.

Ixzion · **Posted:** January 2nd, 2009, 5:37 pm

I'm the only one who fulfilled promises that have posted so far.

Learn a lesson from that, people.

And always bet on black.

TheXix · **Posted:** January 4th, 2009, 1:46 pm

I suck.

My situation's kind of unique. "Tales Of Valasia" has been cancelled and replaced with... whatever the title of the new game turns out to be. Man, I hate not knowing what the title is. I suck.

In my defense, I have been on hiatus from most games over '08 due to attempting a push on furthering my career goals... So kudos to me on achieving that bit. haha! Now, to end with the excuses and progress at my own pace & make some games... No idea when I'll be done, but I hope to at least have a few unique ideas in place by the time I finish. Cross your fingers!

Zane Deadreich · **Posted:** July 8th, 2009, 9:56 pm

Yup, I absolutely will finish my game this year, and will release sometime VERY soon. Hopefully, anyone that decides to pick it up and play will enjoy it.

I PROMISE it's gonna be done. (Different game than from '08 tho)
