2009 isn't so far over the horizon that we can't still be looking back and finalizing our resolutions for the new year.  In some ways, it's even better to wait this long to make a few resolutions (as the most common one made after New Year's Eve celebrations involves never drinking that much again in one night).  <a href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/">Ten Ton Hammer</a> had an interesting take on the practice, though -- they <a href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/78979">asked a number of developers</a> what their resolutions are for the next 365 days.  (Well, okay, slightly less now.)<br />
<br />
The resolutions range from the personal to the public, the serious to the silly.  <a href="http://www.champions-online.com"><em>Champions Online</em></a>'s <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Bill-Roper/">Bill Roper</a> resolves to play more games, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/David-Allen/">David Allen</a> of <a href="http://www.alganon.com"><em>Alganon</em></a> resolves to fix bugs and improve visibility, <a href="http://www.fallenearth.com"><em>Fallen Earth</em></a>'s intern Sombat Southivorarat resolves to not accidentally delete the game's <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a> fan page <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/12/30/fallen-earth-loses-and-promptly-recreates-fan-page/">again</a>.  It's not going to give huge insights into the upcoming patches for several games, but it's good to remember that there are people behind our favorite games, and interesting to see what their personal goals are -- both in and out of the game.  If you're so inclined, <a href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/78979">take a look</a>, although you might want to look away before you reach CCP Nathan's resolution.  Just a friendly tip.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/01/16/resolutions-from-all-across-the-industry/">Resolutions from all across the industry</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sat, 16 Jan 2010 16:00:00 EST.
