End of Year Thoughts and Heading into 2023

whew! so I guess I Survived 2022 after all, huh?

it's been a wild year, full of highs and lows, but overall, i think i did a LOT better than i was the previous years. still pretty regretful of all the bridges i burned this year, it hasn't exactly been the most pleasant year, but i've been able to pick myself up a lot more and able to fix what i still can; this year i feel like i improved so much as a person, or well, sheep

so! let's go over things then, should be fun to retrospect (oops it's a LONG read sowwy uwu ^w^)

2022 Was a Year But I Kind of Liked it

starting off, i think reducing my social media presence helped a LOT mentally, it got kind of to a toxic point before and now limiting myself to certain circles has helped a ton at keeping me both in focus while still talking with peeps. still, maybe next year i could do with going into more circles again, meet new people, but hey, this year, i'm pretty happy with all the folks i've been able to meet, hopefully made their years better too!! i can say in one way or another a lot of yall helped me realize some issues i was fronting this year, so being able to tackle those at last feels so liberating and makes me hopeful for 2023, for real

also, media stuff this year was really good?? i feel like i got a LOT of stuff there that i've wanted to see or do for awhile, like holy shit Kirby and the Forgotten Land was a video game that released this year?? i obsessed over Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Violet plenty too, not to mention i finally sat through and completed the Mother series, watched through all of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul... i feel like i'm getting more and more out of my comfort zones with every year and everything listed was just, fantastic.

then stuff i did i'm kinda shocked turned out as well as it did? getting Electric Sheep a full demo on Dreams was still my highlight of the year - sure, its an abandoned project now as i want to make it a full game with Unity and all that, really need to get that new PC next year, but the ultra-positive feedback i got and what i learned about game dev and everything just, OUGH, super helpful!! plus, got to refine my art more and more - still feel like my style gets inconsistent, but almost all of my pieces from this year i still really like! think i figured that all out this year and aaaaa hope i can do it more next year..well, will have to so i can keep making designs for Electric Sheep, but, y'know fhfsdhdfhdfh

Plus!! Youtube!!! that was something i wasn't expecting to mention here, sorta made that Metroid video and then abandoned the channel for six months, but now i got a full multi-hour Mario Platformers retrospective going on that i'm pretty happy with?? i really hope that one bangs by the end, it really has become both a passion project and my primary focus atm, since its something i know i can get done versus starting Electric Sheep's dev reboot proper, but hey, part 3 soon, right?

AND FINALLY, 2023 Goals Wowee

kinda goes into a lot of what i said already? get more art out, finish the Mario video, engage in more unfamiliar media, do more for Electric Sheep and MAYBE get the reboot started, but honestly not holding out for that one? its a slow grind to get that PC funded but when it does, HOO, that'll be really fun to dive into and learning alllll the basics there. mid 2023 i really wanna have a bunch of designs done by then and try to show off what i have in mind for it all - both gameplay and world wise i'm SUPER proud of where i'm at with it, and i really hope i can entice people with it!! should count on that happening, hehe :3

also just!! continue getting better and better as a sheep - i really wanna be as kind and chill as i can, so honing on that more next year is another primary goal, honestly. not holding myself to all of these, but it SHOULD give a good idea of where i wanna be at. maybe a curveball or two i'll throw in during the year? maybe i'll finally learn music or another language fhdhdfhvnc but in the meantime, have a good end of year y'all!! i've worked my woolly ass off this year though, i need SLEEPY
