Dev Log: Game Ideas and Toggl
I've been back in my programmers seat for the past couple days and the rust is pretty real. I'm getting back into Otter and pushed some minor updates to it that should fix some issues I've been having with it. I wasn't liking some of the finer details of how Entities were being added to Scenes, and how Components were being added to Entities, but I think I have that figured out now.
To get back into the programming saddle I've decided to just mess around with a prototype for now. I don't know much about it yet, but I'll say that I'm currently making a turn based battle system for it. Who knows what that could mean! If this idea turns out to be cool though I'll have more info the share about it.
One thing I'm trying now is using toggl to track how I spend my time through the day. I think one of my anxieties about being productive comes from not exactly knowing how much time I spend doing stuff. Right now I just have it set up to track exercise, game dev, writing, and drawing. Those are the broad strokes of what I care about, and I might end up breaking down those categories even futher depending on how this experiment goes.
I still have my co op game Super Sky Sisters to finish and release soon, and then there's Global Game Jam coming up and I don't know if I'm going to make a completely new game there, but I'm definitely going to be jamming regardless either on a current project or a new project.
