jnWake Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I mainly have music goals for this year: - Become good at producing. - Get at least 1 mix posted on OCR. - Start working on my personal VGM projects (remixes for some underremixed, imo, games). - Manage to record/produce songs with my band. - Learn more music theory (been working at it!).

kitty Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Learn learn learn. Programming. Karate. Guitar. Piano. Production. These will certainly take much longer than a single year but I want to learn something significant in at least three of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonetic Hero Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Finish all the remix album tracks and other projects I have on my plate by no later than the middle of February Get back into visual art (more pen drawing, get into digital art, and especially learn more about spriting) Submit more than one track to OCR this year (though I guess that put me at 100% acceptance rate in 2012, heh) Original releases (TONS planned) Make it back to Indy this summer (DusK, you better hit up Union Jack with us this time ) Take on at LEAST 10 media composition projects over the course of the year (film, games, promos, etc.; 1 down, 9 to go) Keep shaving more time off my Super Metroid speed run Release something through SNESology KEEP IMPROVING MY MUSIC!! Also, finish building my desktop like, now (not really much *building* left, just have to install an HDD to go with my SSD and put an OS on there) And you know what, I'm gonna get back into playing drum set because I fucking miss it And damn it, let's keep going. I'm sort of expecting to do this regardless of the resolution, but even though I won't be on a university drumline anymore I'm going to keep all my drumline composition and teaching commissions because it's played a huge part of shaping me as a musician, and I don't want to lose touch with those contacts or that aspect of composition Edited January 11, 2013 by Phonetic Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Enhance my proficiency of programming languages used for work. Release a song in a modern dance genre. Get ready to go back to school and finish PhD in late 2013/2014. Design and release some type of music software. Design and build something custom for the house. Have fune, and discover some new awesome beers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamphibious Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've got a small list: - Release an original album. - Fully update my YouTube with my most polished songs and remixes. - Finish all my musical commitments to projects and the like. - Save money as much as possible (not buying any games until Animal Crossing, and then none for a while afterwards either) - Drink less pop / eliminate it from my diet entirely. Lets do dis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizyr Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I usually set goals based on life events rather than the start of the year, but this time coincidentally I have a few right about now that could be resolutions. 2012 was a pretty big year for me (finished my Master's program, moved to a new apartment, got married) so a lot of this is based on now having a bunch of free time that I didn't before. Skills Pick back up calligraphy (had to set this aside 4 years back, but I still have all my brushes and ink) Study 50% of the material I have for the JLPT N1 (my long-term goal is to pass N1 by December 2014) Projects/Entertainment Translate the remaining Lunar manga (3 volumes) I have yet to translate Translate 2 of the Lunar drama CDs Start the Magical School Lunar Let's Play I've been planning for years Clear 50% of my game backlog Work My work-related goals are important, but they'll sound dull if I list them here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO STEVO I'M NOT TRANSLATING ANY MORE OF YOUR POR-- wait... n/m... ...sorry, habitual response. I usually don't bring it up unless it pertains to the conversation. So, like, unless we got on the subject of import games or vacations I prolly wouldn't've mentioned it. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KF you translating that hentai the entire room was watching in realtime was one of the highlights of my entire life. I bet you could make a career out of that if you were so inclined.

Meteo Xavier Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Umm, why exactly do you need hentai translated? Is it not already pretty obvious what's going on onscreen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GravitySuitCollector Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 It's all about the story, man. Makes you wonder why they make it into hentai in the first place . I find my story fix elsewhere..., although, there always seems to be a lot of anime based off eroge when you look at the lineups. Is that what it takes to get recognized? Even anime not so targeted towards adults will still have fan-service, a fair bit of it. :/ I really don't set new years resolutions. I do want to improve musically and physically (current amount of exercise a week: 0). I've been trying to cut down on my gaming purchases, too. I have plenty. Also, if I can try to be a better person daily, that's a plus in my book. Life is made up of moments, and I feel right now making short term goals is more likely to help me than making more long term ones. The long term ones I have feel big enough already. Maybe I should make a goal to plan better for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I guess I would want to focus on engaging my audience more. I put out a lot of stuff, but maybe I should spend equal time listening to the people I'm sharing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCT Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Resolutions? Hmm...I would like to spend more time chasing squirrels in the park. Oh, and Urbanizm Music is collecting dust so I should probably fix that. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 OCR Goals:Have the most mixes posted on the site (I'm sitting at 50 posted/waiting) nope Release an original Kickstarter-supported chiprock album nope Finish a solo remix album (already fully planned out, y'all) nope FINISH AND RELEASE FINAL FANTASY 2: REBELLION nope Get considerable progress done with FF3, I'm thinking 40%+ progress. nope Save enough from each paycheck to pay for MAG12 in full. nope Increase support skills, spend more time in Workshop nope Life goalsGet in sha.....wait a minute, I have an image for this: n... well I got a job and I've been sober since May 2012 so... 2/3, not bad So maybe I should make my 2014 something easy like "not die", but knowing me, I'd fail at that too.

Palpable Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hm interesting idea, Brandon. I don't usually ever go back to these: - Finish at least five songs this year Yes! - Try teaching music production Not really - Get more involved with live sound Yes! - Sing on a remix, without vocoder Still possible but unlikely - Get on Jeopardy Haha no - Go to Australia Yes! - Study Japanese again Very much so! - Make and playtest and hopefully publish a board game Half credit. Minor playtesting, no publishing - Fix the minor pain in my leg that I've been living with for nearly a year It's better than it was at the start of the year, but I'm convinced now that it's never totally gonna go away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Keep at it with my weight loss No significant improvements, but no diastrous gains either. Then again I put much of it on my health problems last year. Finish that PlayStation based EP I started last year Couldn't even touch it. I got to get it done in either 2014 or 2015, matching with the PS1's 20th anniversary in any of the territories it was released in. o_o* Keep being musically productive otherwise; in fact, try and shoot for something at least every 2-3 months January - lots of tracks made for the Sonic Stadium Music Adventure 2012. Following 8 months - nothing too refreshing, but did have a lot of OC Remix mixposts at that time plus stuff put forth on the FF6 album. October - tracks for For Everlasting Peace and Vampire Variations 2. November - Temporal Duality. Nuff said. So, not technically as productive, but at least the goal was kind of met in terms of exposure It's cool to support yourself, but it's also cool to support others. I'm on the right lines with a forthcoming weekly broadcast on RadioSEGA, which I aim to see through a full working season and look out across the community for some great arrangements appropriate for the station. I'm also game to do some more stuff behind the scenes for OverClocked University as well, offering as much help as possible for any future endeavors they take. Success on both! SEGA Mixer Drive completed a full season last night and I am now on Christmas break. I've also helped a bit with the visuals for OCRU's MAGFest set for this year as well. Get back into work / college No pernament work, but have done some contracts in the meantime. Not a brilliant year on an accomplishment standpoint, but considering I went under the knife in May, I can give this the benefit of the doubt, I guess.
