Short term goals:

• Finish a new game (in progress)
• Get that sold on FGL
• Get enough money from that to buy New iPad and Apple dev license
• Get collaboration project with Geeze going (in progress)
• Pretty much same goals for that as for the former one
• After getting iPad and license, port FtM for it and finish it
• Start designing science based interactive picturebooks for iPad

As for long term ones, well, this isn't about games that much but I'd like to be scientist and popularize it with books (and games?) etc.

[Leonil_Requiem]

• make a fighting game.
• have that fighting game featured at evo.
• have it headline as a main event at SBO.
• tell the FG community its to hard for them. :3
• Voice act in my own fighting game.
• design sprites for my own game.
• have it be better than arcana heart.
• speak to Monty Oum about and have him feature my game in a combat sequence out of interest . ^_^ (that's when you know you've made it)
• build a company from the ground up.

[Erifdex]

For me, it would just be, while surfing the web, to find some random person recommending one of my games. If that doesn't bring on the warm fuzzy feeling, then what does?

My humble goals

• Finish a game.
• Make a successful commercial game.
• Make a multiplayer game with big community, leagues and tournaments etc.
• Make a game as successful as Minecraft.
• Make a Metal Gear Solid fan game.
• Win an IGF Award.

Some non-game goals:

• Make a scientific breakthrough in one of these fields: space travel, teleportation, time travel, quantum physics, particle physics...
• Travel to a different planet, best possibly to an extrasolar planet.
• Contact an alien race.
• Buy a new BMW, Mercedes or Audi car.
• Buy a supercar.
• Build/buy a modernist/functionalist house or a luxury loft apartment.
• Visit Japan, China, Thailand, New Zealand, French Polynesia, The Seychelles, Sweden and many more countries...

-Acquire fanbase.

[baconman]

I'd say "finish a game and become a successful designer/producer" is hardly "unique." At least around here!

-Attend at least one of each: Anime Expo, E3, IGF, ComicCon, and PornoCon. Preferably costumed and ready to rock. Oh, and a game jam sometime soon, when I can make it plausible.

-Spearhead a game development community in town here. Actually, I'm already doing that, so let's add "successful" to the mix.

-Complete my signature project(s), along with the Dynamic Music Generator. The sooner the better, but better done right than done quickly.

-Financial independence (read Think And Grow Rich) would be nice, but bringing about economic stability to my town is more important. Bringing it to myself is pretty up there, though. But not the kind that's built on objectifying others or being an advantageous prick; the kind that comes from community-building. No such thing as a "rich man" in a poor town/country!

-Pass Valkyrie Dimension (Expert) on DDR without bar-hugging.

-To remain happy, sane, and relatively healthy and active in the meantime. Two galpals that won't drive me the wrong brand of crazy, and enjoys playing pass-the-dick would be cool, too.

I want to get a good night's sleep and finish a game.  lol

Not the highest priorities in my life atm though...

Doesn't work that way. You only get one or neither. 

[VortexCortex]

After reading a bit seems that most of my goals aren't really unique...  That's a good thing.

Uncommon Goals:

• Create an innovative 2D control scheme for navigating 3D and 2.5D gameworlds.
• Build a secure decentralized user generated content network.
• Foster a game modding community for our games and use microtransactions to give modders
• Bring at least one dream from each of our Team members to life.
• Make the 3D GUIs seen in Sci-Fi movies a reality, and dev in a fully 3D environment.
• Use games to help get "Human Rights" extended to cover all sentient beings (including machine intelligences).
• Keep playing and making games even beyond the natural heat death of the Universe.

Me too!

Doesn't work that way. You only get one or neither. 

So. True.

[Momeka_]

- Be able to publish the game version of a pulp magazine, where each volume contains short games by various developers.

This would be awesome.

[Muz]

I'd like to make a RPG for a touchphone where the controls don't suck. Heck, even a platformer that doesn't suck would be nice.

Step 1: Be not-poor.
Step 2: Donate to charity, return to poorness
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 until death.
