A poll regarding my estimations and a status update about the release
🕑 Added 2021-04-06 07:55:51 +0000 UTCHey all! I wanted to start with the status update:
I've written all the specific content for every character except for Olivia (I'm halfway done with her) and Sophie. I've also completed all of the default reactions; these will be used in circumstances where a character doesn't have a specific reaction--generic responses, as it were.
After that, I gotta color code the dialogue in the reactions and update the CSS. Neither should be too difficult or time-consuming.
So barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should have a release in a couple of days. I say that with 69% confidence. Actually, this directly relates to the poll:
I've been shooting for two releases a month, but I've noticed that lately I do two releases every five weeks. That additional week is filled with guilt and stress. Something else I've noticed: most of you don't seem to care that much about consistent release dates. Most care about quality and completeness.
Guilt and stress aren't fun, so here's two ideas:
- I could just say releases will be every five weeks instead of four, predicting how long it'll take based off of previous trends.
- I could just say, "No more estimates: it's released when it's ready."
I'd prefer the second option because estimates are estimates: if, down the line, it takes me six weeks instead of five, I'll feel how I do now.
Now I'm letting you know my personal feelings on the matter, but I care just as much about yours. Estimates will never be perfect, but it's perfectly reasonable for me to accept that as just a part of life. Anyway, let me know which one sounds better to you.
PS: I hope you're having a great week!

I would consider that the 1st choice, I think? I would never release a broken version (intentionally)

The poll cannot capture the option I really want, which is "strive for a release every 3 weeks, strive to size the content work to be able to be done in 3 week chunks, strive have the content ready for such a release, but don't release if it's broken."

I'm for the "try your best but don't sweat the timestamp" camp. Take care of yourself, Creator!
