What is "Your dream?" In just 10 words

Challenge - What is "your dream?" You have only 10 words.

@keezakoni threw that out in another thread. Which got me to wondering what dream I'm actually pursuing. I thought I knew what I was after, until I tried to put it into words. Then, distilling it to 10 words meant I had to cut through all the fluffy cruft. Then, I had to overcome my hesitance to share it with the community. Maybe I'll look selfish, arrogant, or even weak. And somehow, it's also uplifting to see it defined, so simply. One things for sure, this wasn't the thread I started out writing.

Question - What is "your dream"?

Answer - So good I'm pursued for teaching, designing, and building games.

My answer to this beautiful question is this and this alone.

To create a worlds for others to lose themselves in for days.

 

I've got one in two words: Become rich.

 

Sometimes a game or a cinematic, isn't just entertainment. It's an escape, into something that you've provided for people to enjoy, use or abuse lol, What i'm trying to say is, not everyone plays or watches for the same reason. Some people depend on it to get by, or just to pass time. Either way, someone rely's on your content in some fashion. Some, prefer the virtual world, to the harsh real one we live in

 

Just remember, if you do something you're passionate about , love and that you're good at, the money will follow. Don't pursue an idea or a field of work, just for the money, do it because you love to do it

 

I want to make up the next Tech Giant company
some 'dream' can never come true though

 

Smooth running Rift with 32K Res

 

10 words? That's simple:
"Being able to sustain myself pursuing my passion. Developing videogames."
That was the easy part. Now it's time to go back to work.

 

Don't stop until you get there. One foot in front of the other. Big companies don't happen over night friend

 

Original dream: Create mecha games, only need a part-time day job.

Soul-crushing truth due to time and energy thoroughly drained by by line-of-business dev day job and other life things taking any remaining spare time: I no longer have one.

Okay, that was over melodramatic, and possibly not entirely true, but I'm feeling rather maudlin at the moment >.>

Actually, thank you. The act of writing that all out, for people I have never met irl, has given me the perspective to banish the maudlin attitude and keep at it. I'd been feeling that way for months now. So again, thank you

 

Work for myself developing games and support my family.

 

Make game like playing much as used to like Wolf3D.

 

To express ideas that touch people's hearts and minds.

 

living making wonderful worlds people want to get in

 

Creating worlds that people want to share with other people

 

Win lottery. Nailed it in 2!

 

Spend more time with wife and kids then at work.

 

To release my racing game soon, and it makes enough to sustain me to work on the next title, release that, then grow my little company to 5-10 people, and we finish all 4 games on my company roadmap within the next 5 years, and have good success, and lots of fun doing so

 

To die with no regrets & be remembered fondly.

theoretically if I at least try to achieve what I want & can stay happy while doing it it may not be quite as soppy as it sounds in 10 words.

 

How is your regretometer today? Cause it seems like as soon as you are content we can quickly make your dreams come true.

 

Unfortunately I'm young enough to remember being a teenager & still old enough to regret it . I'm waiting for Alzheimer's to help me in the next few decades

 

To make a game good enough to make somebody happy

 

Truthfully having set goal after goal my entire life and reaching the majority of them (the ones that really mattered) I've been just enjoying life the past few years and not setting any major goals. My ambition was to enjoy all that I had achieved and become. Kind of like the guy in Office Space who said I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I always thought it would be.

The past month though I have been noticing that very familiar feeling again. That desire to do something more once again. So I guess my days of relaxation and contentment may soon be over.

 

To build a dream I can live inside, even awake.

Ingredients: Unity/UE4 + STEM + oculus.

 

INSTANT LOADING WEBGL

 

Retirement

 

I tried that (early) for a year, then started learning this to keep my brain going. It was enjoyable doing nothing but the feeling of my brain leaking out my ears was unsettling.

 

I just need money to buy a house and some land, that is my dream. A tiny house that my wife can make our home.
Need only 50k for something like that... only... wish it were only 50k...

GL to everyones dream!

 

To redefine what "social games" mean.

 

When I was in college we did a similar exercise, we were supposed to send resumes to 5 companies that would cosnstitue our dream jobs. Knowing full well that at our level it was just an exercise and just to get familiar with the process. Mine were (in order) : Jim Henson company, Pixar, Disney, Lucas Arts and the Discovery Channel. So, 4 out of 5 ain't doing too shabby.

So, since that is knocked of my dream list, my next dream would be :
"Work for LEGO as a master builder."
...still working on that.

 

pizza and a six pack.

not sure what I want with the other five.

 

Peace

 

To have fun and make a lasting impact.

 

Without end & without indigestion

 

Create a world for others to escape from reality.

Another would be, support myself and my family while keeping my sanity. (Making games)

 

Another Pack and Fresh Pizza. - your other 5 haha just playin

 

Get my CS degree, find me a GF, and get a (real) job.

I guess I'm pretty simpleminded...

 

To live, love, and leave this place smiling.

 

There should be a new Lego Star Wars game to tie in with the new movie. Just saying that you are already have an in on this dream.

 

Sadly, (for me at least), all the Lego games are done by Travellers Tales in the UK.

Though, we often prototype with real Lego, so in a small way, I do sometimes get paid to play, uh... work with Lego. In the end that is really all I want, to have someone pay me a good salary to play with Lego every day. Is that so much to ask?

 

We have a training session coming up that is apparently Lego based. I asked if I could take the Lego home afterwards for my *ahem* kids.

Unfortunately my 'kindergarten' days aren't that common. Apparently playing with Lego is only tangentially related to the business of not blowing things up.

 

My dream: Level Eleven to come out for Unity Personal Edition users

 

Let's keep it to realistic achievable dreams folks.

 

Make games to raise money for abused and neglected children.

 

Dreams come true......eventually

 

It would be just my luck that Auoroe has just made the announcement somewhere else on the forums.

 

To create applications that people find both entertaining and compelling.

 

Financial stability whilst making games that people love.

 

Vote Trump 2016. Once he owns every territory on the earth, he'll stop the fighting to avoid damage to his property lol. That also frees up $730 billion currently being spent on the military.

He may want to deport everyone back to their homelands including himself (revoking the citizenship birthright would affect everyone except native americans), but once he owns the entire world it won't matter. Mexicans will live in New America. English people will live in Great America. Russians will live in Mother America, and so on.

The global currency becomes the US Dollar which puts an end to outsourcing and exploitation of foreign workers and Russia and Brazil pay the same price for videogames on steam

The world being a smoking pile of radioactive ash by 2017 is more likely, but eh, anything can happen. That thing on his head is his actual hair!

 

Don't need dreams, already content.
