Thanks! I love this thread. Even during my quiet days, I still pop on and read these messages, even if I don’t have time to respond to them.
I’m calling January a success: January 2021's Writer Support Thread - #122 by Lucid
I remember writing that January goal and breaking it down because I thought it might take longer than I had hoped. It sure did. 
February is going to be very difficult for me. I have a VERY busy schedule for the next 2.5 months. But, I’m still hoping to make some gains.
February Goals:
- Finish my first playthru, again, again, and again. I have a very mangled saved game, so I can’t trust the stats (it crashed and continued so many times!) but I can still use it to see at least 3 more endings. I also need to flesh out one of the endings I did reach. (I already enhanced the others.) This feels a lot like a completion (or addition) to my January goals. I think it’s worthy of it’s own goal in February because I didn’t think about the fact that I’d be checking 6 endings (maybe more, we’ll see!), since the old goal was just to finish once.
- Do a second playthru. Make a new character and explore/test an entirely different different set of branches. I know that the first playthru is always the longest, so a second should be MUCH faster.
- Do a third playthru. Early January, I thought that this was an easy goal, having multiple playthrus completed, but that first playthru took a lot of time. Fixing those errors should make subsequent playthrus much easier/faster.
But, as I mentioned above, February is going to be a busy month. If I can complete the second playthru (and all it entails) I’ll be very happy. If I suddenly find more time, I’ll just keep plugging away with more Alpha Testing.
I think I might share my playthus over here: Life of a Space Force Captain - #70 by Lucid
This hectic schedule goes for 2.5 months, but the 2.5 months after that should be much better. And the 2 months after that (summer break!) is best of all.
Enough procrastination and rambling, back to work! Good luck everyone.
