Been a wild week.
Added 2019-04-14 03:23:10 +0000 UTCI've been all over the place work wise this week, but that hasn't been a bad thing. Got a lot of work done, and I've done a lot of ground work to make up for my lack of work this coming week.
So, for starters, I have a family trip I have to take this next week. I leave tomorrow morning, and I honestly don't know if I'm going to have time to work, or if it's going to shoot everything to hell work wise. Either way, I spent some extra time this week working in order to front load things a bit for the likely shortage of time over the next few days.
What got done this week:
*Added about 5k words of new content to Last Stand of Ra. This includes a new NPC, new location, new art, and a bunch of new scenes for the game. All in all, that's going to make for a decent sized new build in a couple of weeks.
*Spent some time writing for Inheritance this week. Wrote a short story for Claire, and across about eight smallish scenes there is new content for Anna, Eve, Misaki, and Rey ready to go into the game. In addition to this, we had a submission that includes Maki, Bubbles, and Mitsuko which I just finished coding a few minutes ago (There's an alternate version of the scene I still need to code, but the baseline version just needs to be dropped in the game. The alternate shouldn't take more than a few minutes to add.)
*Got a bunch of sample art for Inheritance this week. Most of it I approved outright, just knitpicked one item. So this month's art for that game is coming along nicely.
*Received a new piece of character art for Last Stand of Ra this week. Loved it, just need to write the scene for that character art so I can add it.
*Commissioned one new piece of art for Last Stand of Ra this week instead of waiting until next month like I probably should have. Not sure if it will make it into the next build, or the one that follows.
*New TEST build of Last Stand of Ra went out earlier today to supporters at that level.
What to expect this coming week:
*Since this coming week is likely to be chaotic, I'm not going to do the "What should I work on" poll like usual. Instead I'll work on Inheritance since I have a lot of little items I can work on (Which is convenient when I'm likely to have small bits of time to work instead of several hours at a time.)
*Top priority is to code everything from this week into Inheritance. Got about 6k words of content to add as of right now.
*We have a fan who has been going over the content in the game with a fine toothed comb and reporting spelling/grammar errors. I'll be correcting those as they come in if I'm able.
*Going to start prepping the "period" content to go into the game. Hopefully this won't be too difficult to do. If I can get it into the game with relative ease, then I'll probably see about writing some more content for it. This framework will eventually handle pregnancy related content too, so you can think of this as some prep work for that as well.
*If I get a big chunk of time to work this coming week, then I started working on a bigger scene a few days ago. I'll try to get that finished up if time permits.
*Other than that, I'll be largely playing it by ear. This coming week is likely going to be focused on some smaller pieces of content from me, but possibly a lot of them. Time will tell. Additionally, two of our regular writers have expressed that they are likely to submit some content this coming week as well.
And there you have it. I might be a little quieter than usual this coming week, but rest assured that I'll be hard at work every chance I get!

They say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. There's some truth to that. ;)

2019-04-15 13:40:50 +0000 UTCIt's all play for me. I'm doing the best job in the world. How could it ever be considered "work"? Sure, I call it work, but really it's just me making a living doing one of the things I love to do most in the world.
