Weekly pomodoro report & release update

A pomodoro is a 25-minute block of focused work.  I promised to do at least 10 per week when the first funding goal was reached.

Target: 10 pomodoros
Achieved:
39 pomodoros

Pomodoros I-XI (today)

I was really hoping to get the next release out today, but I'm out of time.  :-(  I have meetings for my real job all day tomorrow, but I guarantee a release later in the week.

Afterwards, we'll move to the "smaller, more frequent releases" model and hopefully that will be a big improvement in the way this thing gets done.

Thanks Vexx! Fingers crossed!

I sure hope you guys like it.

I remember this game back at its first release. I hope this next release stirs a bit more interest, the potential of this game is pretty up there.

I've waited this long with great anticipation. I am sure I can survive another week. Looking forward to it.

Tegan

I haven’t, but that sounds cool. I’ll look into it, thanks 🍞

Have you tried using the MoSCoW method (meaning "Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have")? I think that it's a great way to prioritize tasks.

Breadloaf

I'd love to but it's not really working as one coherent package at the moment, we have several separate branches that need to be integrated. (e.g., the debriefings I finished today call variables from the casting couch scene, but those two bits of code sit in separate branches at the moment - they don't exist in the same game yet.) This is another bad side effect of us working on so many separate things at the same time – moving to smaller faster releases will make it a lot easier to push Betas out during development.

Crushstation

You're not being a dick, that's what I'm hoping for too. :-) I really hope you guys like the next release.

Crushstation

Maybe you could release where you are at as a beta? And over the next week add the better flirting and small rewrites while bug fixing?

Kurt Wagner

Almost there! I know the update will be amazing! Hopefully the new release schedule will help you with this "over-promise and under-deliver" scheduling thing. (Not trying to be a dick...)

Kurt Wagner

Good luck on that meeting and don’t sweat if the release is coming a week later is ok, real job hast to have priorities
