Achieving Our Goals

Update! Current Weight is ~179-180 @Fang thanks for doin this. My goal is to actually get into actual shape more than maintain. I just wanted to hit a certain weight threshold before doing so. It's a really hard trek through roughing it through running daily with putting in all the other stuff. Some people have some pretty fantastic goals in this thread. Everyone keep up the great work!

My goals right now 1. Earn my degree 2. Get in shape 3. Get better at my bass guitar

1. Get Security+ certified (Already have my exam voucher, 300 bones, ouch. Already A+ certified) 2. Quit my manufacturing job and work on the navy base as an IT (Getting off 3rd shift period) 3. Git gud at rhythm games at the arcade (Sound Voltex and Museca,) 4. Switch out of the navy reserve and join the air force reserve (I've worked with them before, they're chill as hell) 5. Start a relationship(?)

So much to comment on. D: First the short ones and then the long one. Okay, deep breath and....... @Khadrian Well as long as you have something made, it's all good. And good job with your word quota. Procrastination may take up all of your time, but it doesn't matter much if your best can only be done at last minute anyway. XD Great job overall! :D @reigami I always saw maintaining weight as being in shape since you can't maintain it if you're out of shape. XD But either way, great job and I hope you'll be able to get to where you want to be at soon. You'll need to get that intense focus to be more intense! @Sir Fluffy Panda and neo_s_hinobi Please read the rules again. This is actually doing goals that you want done by a certain date and have to report on. Just listing your goals doesn't really do much unless you have set dates that you want them to be done by. I will not add you until you add a due date to them. I can't give dates to everyone. @Shy It's good that you're getting your script to be the way you want it to be, but remember that you can't just keep revising over and over again. That can actually be done nonstop and you could end up actually getting nothing done at all. Sometimes you just have to settle for one thing and move on. It's something I've learned from my character design class. You have to force yourself to stop or else you'll just keep changing things every time you look at your work again. Which just slow your work progress overall. You might be aware of that already, but I'm stating for future reference and for anyone that reads this part. I like the deign of this girl, and I really like the sword design itself. The back of the blade looks like a hex pattern to me, if it's not suppose to be one, and it would seem slightly possible to forge as well. And though this may not have been done on purpose, I really like how your signature connects to her shadow. That just seems nice to me for some reason. Though technically the dialogue I made for your first kawaii can be taken in a perverted way. I was only half way on the part. It was more so in a way of putting that since it was so bad and she agreed that it was, then it would be funny that it was so bad that it had to just go and she would agree to that as well. And I understand not being sexually aroused by your own characters. Male or female, I feel that most, if not all, of my characters are a small part of me with them showing one of my traits more with their own personality. That's how I see it in a way. The whole point of the trailer was to answer a simple question in my mind. "Can I make Windows Movie Maker think it's Adobe Premiere Pro?" The answer was yes after several hours of using photoshop and forcing Movie Maker to use an effect it can't do. After completing such a task, I refused to let hours of work go to waste. So I recorded myself playing and slapped that into the video. And though the story isn't in the game yet (aside the info in the bout section on the title screen), the bold words do have meaning. I wouldn't make them bold for no reason. I made it while I got the idea for later content and to just make sure I had something there and not forget or remake it. Now about the game itself. This is a school project from a class that was made ONLY for artists. But I was in the class and was the ultimate cheat for my group by being the only programmer in the class. Technically this was just a different version of another class that had both programmers and artists at my school but this was for artists only and was a new class. Which overall was just a very stupid idea on the school's part. Anyway, I told my team this "Make it however you want it to look. All I want for it to be is a ball game." And snowman guardian game it became. The game is now slightly over 2 years old (holy crap it's 2 years old XD). The snowflakes are actually fine to hit, I was just sucking at the game because I had to do three playthroughs for the trailer and I was already tired of playing that level over 50+ times beforehand. Though some would take two jumps. And the teacher didn't haze us about the sound, I don't think he cared. I honestly don't care much about sound when making games, because I make all my games in a way that anyone can play without any sound at all. Deaf people and people who can't have sound on for games need to play it without worrying about missing out on anything like sound. I actually have a funny story about Portal and my favorite teacher (from another class) to why I do that, but I'll that another time. And finally. Overall, I'm not one for caring about a general audience with this game. Because I'm mainly using this game to build up code libraries for myself and to just have overall practice with things for games. I know what I'd need to do for a general audience but it's not important for me at this time. Especially since I don't have consistent updates. I kinda want to get myself on par with YandereDev by at least having once a month updates with my games. But that will take some time. And I think that's everything. Though I know I forgotten some things I originally was going to say. XD (Side note: Not checking for typos. If they're there, oh well. XD)

I need to get in shape. Like this : https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/54/18/c5/5418c52f9961d9fc9c1da8c136a0e9fd.jpg and this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q4mim3Vq1fU/T4FyMdVuJKI/AAAAAAAAAWo/rz1yDhS3tSw/s1600/81.jpg Since I'm ectomorph, I need to eat A LOT and work out A LOT ( I alread eat for 2 and I'm 59kg for 1m76, yeah skinny af ). Why am I doing this ? I won't lie, for me, it looks great, and I know it will make my life feel easier ( practiced muay thai for 11 years and I'm telling you, when you're doing sports, you feel SO GOOD ). Soo I'll start by posting pics when I'll start ( I got stuff to do before beginning my journey ), once a week I guess.

@MobMVP You've been added. Good luck with the work out, don't over do it. @RobertN No. More like personal goals. Things that you'd normally try to do in your free time, like drawing or improving a skill set, but could never do because something came up or you just put it off. The point of this is to get people to stop putting things aside and do what they need/want to do.

Hey Hoody, you may want to add "PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING, PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING, PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING" on top of your original post to prevent further replies from those who don't follow them... To everyone else: I understand it's a lot of text, but please read the rules before posting. This thread isn't about listing our goals all willy-nilly. It's about keeping a consistent schedule and giving weekly progress reports. You have to enter a due date. You have to tell everyone what you're doing to achieve said goal. WEEKLY!!! Did I say weekly?!? Preferably every Saturday. It's not about listing our goals. I REPEAT, IT'S NOT ABOUT LISTING OUR GOALS!!! it's about... (*WHEEZE WHEEZE*) ACHIEVING THEM!!! (*American flag waves in the background*)

@Shy Yeah. I was thinking about doing something like that. Those comments ends up disappointing me a little. XD

maybe have a tl;dr version like: 1. Post goal w/due date 2. Post progress report every Saturday 3. Heckle those who don't post every Saturday (optional :P) I know they mean well but yeah, it's getting out of hand and we should prevent more from happening while this thread is still young. (anyway no more spam from me. See you on Saturday!) (maybe)
