2023: My goals for 2024

I went into 2023 expecting things to be different and get better. I’ve already spoken about how 2023 bullied me so we won’t go into any more details.

For now, let’s focus on my goals for 2024.

I have very few plans for 2024.

Let’s start with plans for Game Development.

In 2024, I will release version 11 of Drink To That, the final major version planned. Alongside this, I’ll update Marbles Racing Down with one major update and Majority Rules will also get an update.

That’s it for game development. I’d love to release more but I don’t see it happening. If anything, I feel like 2024 will be my slowest year so far. I may just take things slower, but will most likely just lack the motivation.

I think, just like in 2023, YouTube will do well again. I’m going to keep uploading as often as I can and keep making videos I enjoy. People may disagree and say that the algorithm doesn’t favour those videos, but I don’t mind. I’ll keep doing it because it is a lot of fun.

I want to get back into streaming, and hope to do at least 1 stream a month. It isn’t much, but I need to slowly get back into things.

I have one plan more than anything, and that is to make more music. I’m terrible at it, but I hope to create a lot more and eventually release something on my YouTube.

For my writing, I have no plans to release another novella or novel this year. I know I need to write Alterum 3, but I don’t have any motivation.

Writing is something I struggle to find motivation for more than anything else. I may suddenly get it and you may see a release of something, but everything is unlikely.

This blog will be the same as it was in 2023. There will be very few posts in 2024. But, as I just said, that may change based on motivation.

This may be upsetting to hear, but I don’t know how I want my life to go. I probably should know by now. I’m 24 years old and need to figure some things out, so I’m going to slow down a lot.

2023 was upsetting, and probably killed most of my motivation. If I’m going to do the things I want to do, I’ll need to not get burnt out. I’m going to step back, and only work when I want to. I’ll step away from things like writing, game dev and YouTube but won’t fully give up. I’ll see how that helps or changes my mental health. From there, I’ll figure things out.

More than anything, I think I should work on myself and my mental health. It’s only gotten worse as the months have progressed. So I’m going to do just that. If you wish to still see how I’m doing, YouTube will be the best place for that. I have a YouTube channel where you can see me play games. I try to upload as often as possible.

This post may seem weirdly short compared to other years, but that is primarily because I created a video version that I think goes into detail a lot better.
