And then...
Well, it's January. Barely, but it's still January.
So it's time to dust off the old "To Do" list, and see what I have left to do in the upcoming year.
First, let's check the previous list(s)...
From February, 2006:
- Make "To-Do" List - This one never ends.
- Finish Colony 7 Sprites - Done! (game in progress)
- Finish Lady Bug sprites - Done! (and in the store)
- Make label for Four-Play - Done! (and in the store)
- Make Juno First sprites - Done! (game in progress)
- Make list of what sprite artists need to know from programmers for the 2600 - Done!
- Create OS X icon for KrokCom- Done!
- Wrap up manual for RPS - About 75% done. Waiting for game to be finished
- Create manual for Man Goes Down - About 75% done. Waiting for game to be finished
- Design sprites for homebrew sports game - Game development on hold
- Stella at 20 30 - Still haven't worked on this, due to my schedule at work. But I intend to get going on it this Summer.
- Update the 2600 Video Mods page - Summer. Maybe. Hopefully. I've got about four or five mods to build and test.
- Convert sprites for PoP - These are (or were) being worked on by le geek
- "How-To" tutorial for creating sprites - Someday...
- Finish XBox 360 vs. PS3 blog entry - Done! Although this could stand to have an update, since all of the systems have now hit the market. - Update added!
- Write up some Stupid Game Ideas - Started, with more to come.
Then, from later that month...
- Extra-large bitmap for Zach - Done! (This became the title screen for Four-Play)
- Start on other label designs - Done! Four-Play was one of these, the other may have been early work on a Rainbow Invaders contest entry (which I won).
- Tape Olympic ice hockey game - Done! But now I don't know where the tape went. Anyway, that project is on hold now.
- Watch "This Old House" - Done! Every week. Or at least, every week they don't pre-empt it with a pledge drive. Which brings up the question, why should I give PBS money, when they always pre-empt the only show I ever watch on their channel?
- Purchase and consume Round Table "All Meat Marvel" pizza - Done! (And more times than I can count.)
From March...
- Design new ghost sprites for Dennis' PacMan - Done! (Although in the end, Dennis used ZylonBane's sprites)
- Design some new sprites for Rainbow Invaders - Done! (and in the store)
- Design some tiles for Bob - Done!
- Additional (revised) illustrations for the RPS manual - Stalled. I still want to get back to this though, since after reading the R.O.D manga (as well as the R.O.D manga), I want to re-draw the whole thing.
- Colony 7 title screen - Done! (now appearing in the WIP binary)
- Juno First title screen - Done! Just got this to Chris a few days ago.
- Finish and animate Medieval Mayhem dragon - David Vazquez ended up doing a fantastic job on this (and it's in the store, too)
- Create illustration for AtariAge store - Done! (Although I was supposed to do a gift-certificate, too, and never got around to it. )
- Revise 2600 Bosconian mockups - Updated!
- Create label and manual for AtariVox - Done! (and in the store, although the manual isn't pictured)
- Create label and manual for Conquest of Mars - Done! (also in the store)
- Create label and manual for Lady Bug - Done! (And currently #6 in the store) Update - now #5 #4 in the store!
- Create manual for Four-Play - Done! (I did mention this is in the store, right?)
- Bitmap for Bob - In progress (made the first pass at it, now revising it)
- Sprites for another new homebrew - These are for Rip Off! - Done!
Not mentioned on a list, but "To-Do" nonetheless were:
- Create label for Medieval Mayhem contest - Done!
- Create sprite for Thomas - In progress (made a few versions, now revising it)
- Manual and label for Phantom II/Pirate - Done! (yep, it's in the store)
- Manual and label for Space Battle - Done! (also in the store)
- Sprites for Toyshop Trouble, the 2006 AtariAge Holiday Cart - Done! (no longer in the store)
So, that brings me up to my current "To-Do" list!
Leftovers:
- Stella at 20 30 - Summer
- Update the 2600 Video Mods page - Summer (maybe)
- "How-To" tutorial for creating sprites - Eventually
- Additional (revised) illustrations for the RPS manual - Spring/Summer
- Revised bitmap for Bob - In progress
- Revised sprite for Thomas - In progress
- Finish manual for RPS - When game resumes development
- Finish manual for Man Goes Down - When game resumes development
- Create sprites for sports game - When game resumes development
- Create sprites for Rip Off! - Done!
And new stuff:
- Additional color scheme for Juno First sprites - Done!
- Testing unannounced homebrew game - Done! (At least for now)
- Sprites for unannounced homebrew project - Game development on hold
- In-game art for Chetiry - Game development on hold
- Even more Stupid Game Ideas - As time permits
- Review another big pile of homebrew games - In progress
-
Keyboard Controller overlays for Synthcart - Done! (not the same as the ones for the Video Touchpad)
- Overly-ambitious project that I'm not naming, since it's unlikely I'll actually work on it*
Man... 2006 was a busy year! I don't know if 2007 will be as busy or not, but with all of the homebrew games already in development, it looks to be a good one!
Lastly, I added a couple more categories to my blog:
Video Game Reviews, to make them easier to find, and
Stupid Game Ideas, to make them easier to ignore.
* There were actually two of these, but now Bob has gone and done one of them! Thanks Bob!
