Pomodoros!
Added 2020-06-01 19:55:08 +0000 UTCHey guys, quick update!
My current priority is writing the bed branch of the new sex scene. I worked on it last week, but by Friday my writing had slowed to a crawl.
I woke up on Sat feeling listless and demoralised, so I decided to take the day off and see if rest would help. I just took the fucking day off because I'm a maverick crab!
On Sunday I didn't feel any better, though. If anything, I felt moar tired! UH OH! If resting a day didn't fix it, could anything fix it? Was I burned out? Had the well gone dry?
😬
Spoiler alert: no. Anyway, I also took Sunday off. (I think this was literally my first weekend off in two or three years.)
Warming my engines this morning took me a little longer than usual (I started work at around 0900, two hours later than planned). But the good news is that I had a super productive day!
I decided to just go back to basics. I worked for nine hours, putting in 8 pomodoros (focused 25-minute time-blocks) of solid writing today.* And it felt great! I blasted straight through the section I'd been struggling with on Thursday and Friday.
I also squeezed in a run right after work and my plan now is to chill the fuck out for the rest of the evening. Hopefully I'll have another greta day tomorrow!
If I can keep this pace up, the bed branch will be finished in three days or so. We'll release 1.6.3 as soon as it's ready, then announce plans for 1.7.
Okay, that's it, just wanted to let you guys know I'm alive. Update to follow soon!

2020-06-08 06:55:35 +0000 UTCИзвините за мой английский но вы охуели. Я 2 часа играл в вашу игру выстраивая агента с пелёнок и даже не дошёл до постоянного места работы (В таиланде) И вы за это ещё просите денег ? Сначала сделайте игру за сюжетом которой интересно наблюдать а уже потом просите денег. Да задумка интересная но реализация хреновая.
2020-06-04 22:58:34 +0000 UTCYeah, 9 (I think) months for writing a sex scene is too long. I hope that Crushstation can learn from the past months and deliver faster.

2020-06-02 18:18:42 +0000 UTCWorking hard is appreciated but try to keep up some sort of work-life balance. Productivity on hours you work usually tends to be higher then and we don't want you burning out either.
2020-06-02 06:17:47 +0000 UTCYou're getting popular, Crush. Two webcomics gave you shoutouts this week already: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4276 https://xkcd.com/2314/

2020-06-02 00:52:02 +0000 UTCI low-key hate you, because I've now been using Greta instead of great. Other than that, congratulations on your weekend off! I know it can be difficult to strike the balance between just deploying what's there and having it be polished enough/have enough content, but I think that you've much improved lately, and can't wait for 1.6.3 and even more so for 1.7. So just keep up the Greta work!
