UPDATE: Dude, I'm so totally late with the Week Forty-Four Update. How lame is that? Hopefully I'll have time to write it up some this weekend.
Hey guys,
This isn't so much an entry as another "Hey, yeah, I'm late again, sorry!" message.
It's so close to Week Forty-Four there's no point in me writing a full entry, but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm not planning to stop writing these things on a weekly-basis -- I've just been super, duper swamped.
Panic! At the HQ
I mentioned in Week Forty-Two that I was working on 2 quests for May, one of which might be scrapped due to how crazy busy I am this month. If I have my way, though, we'll release both.
I just finished making a major change to one aspect of the Quest System which was exciting - though I had to cram like crazy to get it done by a personal deadline I had set. I was actually freaking out Tuesday night because I thought, briefly, that it was impossible.
One of the things I like best about engineering is that it really tests your ingenuity. You're sometimes presented with problems that seems almost unsurmountable, and the challenge is posed to you to come up with a solution that is efficient, eloquent, and can be finished in a reasonable amount of time. At the same time you have to make sure your solution isn't a hack (or as un-hacky as possible) so that when you have to make changes going forward, you don't have to work around your own hack.
Shortness
I mentioned this wouldn't be a full entry - even though there is plenty to talk about, including the upcoming quests, the fantastic Cinema feature, the Collectible Museum, and Fanime -- so I'll save the choice content for tomorrow.
If you ever wonder why some devs don't chat with users, it's often because we're all up-to-our-ears in work!
