My resolution for '09 is to actually finish a Flash project so I can post it here. (Difficult to motivate oneself to do that when you're not being paid.)

How does that work; don't you turn 19 part-way through it? =P

I have to get round to doing that too.
Funny, that was my resolution last year as well.

Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders.

By the way, I made the 'Create an Animated Sprite' preloader for Sprite TV 3!

On-line ad spending is expected to drop by a significant amount in 2009, but this past year we transitioned our ads to performance-based advertising for on-line gaming and MMOs. People tend to seek out entertainment MORE in a bad economy, so hopefully we'll be alright. We don't depend on large brand advertisers, who are the ones likely to cut spending and hurt sites that depend on them. Realistically NG needs to get more 300x250 ads in play, which don't fit well in the current layout. NG always manages to pull through no matter what happens, though.

Seems like a good plan to me.

My goal for 2008 was to release more games than I have in any previous year. I'm bummed that I only released 2 which ties with previous years, but they are 2 of the most polished games I've single-handedly produced ever so I'm happy with that. I've definitely been very focused and productive this year in putting the extra polish into these games, resurrecting EntropicOrder.net, creating a couple game portals, learning and switching to ActionScript 3, and monetizing my work (which takes a lot more time spent on sponsorships and putting out licensed versions), but I was hoping I would have a higher number of released work.

In 2009 my goal is to make Flash games full time, either working for myself or for someone else, to take my AS3 skills to the next level in terms of efficiency and originality, and to find a great animator to partner up with that I can work really well with. I should definitely be able to produce more games this year and I'm going to be very focused on reaching my goal of developing games professionally. Wish me luck.

My original game site: EntropicOrder.net
My kid friendly animal themed game site: PlushQuest.com
Our large stuffed animal online store: MyBigPlush.com
