1.14 Preview #3 | Times are changing
Added 2025-02-21 20:42:21 +0000 UTCHello again!
I wasn't planning on making these updates a weekly thing but there's been so much progress it's hard not to! This time we're looking at the work-in-progress redesign of the Time Tracker section.
Right now I find it can be very easy to get confused on there being three different places you can input Time Played (total time, per log, per session). I'm hoping the extra details and explicit options laid out on this new screen will help differentiate how these are added up.
Additionally I hope to use this opportunity to expand how time is tracked with the new finish and completion options. These will be more akin to tracking how long it takes to finish a game, HLTF if you will ;) Ideally this will be the first step to displaying how long it takes to finish a game!
I'm still experimenting on what else can be done with time tracking, especially as the editor grows I want to be cautious on adding too much at once. I'll also need to start seeing how some of these features will port to the other log editor views, especially since mobile has to work with a lot less space.
That's all for now, enjoy your weekend!
Best,
MrProg

Wonderful. Thanks for directly addressing this!

2025-02-23 20:31:18 +0000 UTCYou could replace "Finish" with "Beaten", like how on RetroAchievements, you get a silver Beaten badge for unlocking certain achievements tied to story progression, as opposed as unlocking all the cheevos in the set would make it "Complete" or "Mastered"

2025-02-22 01:32:00 +0000 UTCAn option that would complement all this very nicely would be the possibility of having “Sync session times” but for individual logs, facilitating the task of obtaining total times per log. Nice work

2025-02-21 22:39:04 +0000 UTCGood callout! I think I'll try lining it up with the mastered wording that's used for 100%-ing on the site.

2025-02-21 21:56:43 +0000 UTC"Ideally this will be the first step to displaying how long it takes to finish a game" MAN that's my dream

2025-02-21 21:41:02 +0000 UTCAcknowledging that this is WIP, just wanted to point out that "finish" and "complete" are synonyms, and since they're employed as such on the site right now, making them distinct would presumably cause some confusion
