CASE OF THE MONDAYS

Week of December 18th, 2016

WARP DOGS’ CORP LOGS

• The state of our WARP CORP is almost freakishly strong after a last-minute push of savings
• The Extinction-Level-Event (ELE) is now at an incredible 28 weeks away. Unbelievable!

MEGA-MONTH lumbers past the halfway mark and aims its way forward to the finish line. With two paychecks and a birthday under its belt, you would think its insatiable hunger would, indeed, be satiated, but the look in its eyes is anything but satisfied…

SPRINT GOALS

There’s less than two weeks until I give my two week notice. Assuming my math checks out, that leaves me with just under four weeks to prepare for a graceful and prepared exit.

Unlike previous attempts at sticking to a series of goals, I’ll instead just dump out a stream-of-consciousness about what I hope to accomplish between now and the end of the year

• A fully realized ‘pitch’ of what this game actually is
• Mind Maps!
  • Mind Maps for the various features, themes, and emotions of the game
  • Mind Maps for the various loops of the game
  • Mind Maps, generally
• A social media presence that’s not super embarrassing
• A final name, and probably a URL to go with it
  • Also maybe look into rules and standards about names
• Comment and cleanup existing code
• Do some “fun coding”
• Document coding procedures to better iterate over them
• Write more posts. Write more everything
• Focus on focus
  • BUT SERIOUSLY THIS TIME
• Read as much as I can
  • Books on games
  • Books on game design
  • Books on life
  • Books generally
• Cleanup and prepare
• Hangup pictures and other decorations
• Think real hard about scope
• Do more pixel art
• Learn how to do pixel art generally
• And much, much more

Time to get to it.
