Today was overall a sleepy day. Got some quality lock-in time in the evening though, so managed to finish some of the smaller stuff. All that's left to do is make the levels then ship the game for V1! Speaking of levels... Introducing the monstrosity known as Carousel Part 2. Half the obstacles aren't even visible. My last two braincells can't figure out how to make it work without angling the sun, which makes it practically impossible to control the player's landing. Maybe when I wake up in the morning I'll know what to do.
Day 17/365the lock in doth come before the lock outTasks I made progress on:
• Khrome
◦ Did 1 hour of work
▪︎ I was finagling around with two different audio software trying to make one of them work with Vital before I scrapped my projects on both of them, restarted on LMMS and realised there was an instrument specifically designed to import external VSTs into LMMS. Well. Hmm.
▪︎ So I gave up on music, played Cobblemon for an hour or two, then after a few spontaneous chores and stuff got back and added the pause system for my game. That's all I did.

Today was NOT a productive day. The lock-in-turned-lock-out huddle was fun tho!
The pause menu isn't anything too fancy, I'll prolly change it a bit later down the line. The main reason it wasn't done in like 10 minutes is because my UI is jank so I had to devise a clean way (debatable) to trigger the pause menu while pausing the game and not allowing other things (state change) to happen in that time.
Work for tomorrow: audio. I'll first start with sfx, then spend the rest of the time working on game music. I think something either dark techno or something similar to the vibe of Bloxorz would fit the game.
Day 16/365locked in so hard ong. Also, 2^4 day!!!Tasks I made progress on:
• Khrome
◦ Did about 6 or 7 hours of work.
▪︎ I made gold and grey versions of each obstacle, and also made multiple types of lasers scenes.
▪︎ Made 4 levels
▪︎ Got billboards working after a bunch of finagling, I needed them specifically in such a way that I can incorporate keyboard shortcuts

Today was a really productive day... yea i'm kinda conked out after allat work. Also had a fun semi-lock-in call in my PC :3
Screenshot of the second level. The goal is to reach the white box in the end. Also has the billboard in it! I probably need to adjust the colors of the gold obstacles a tad, and maybe mess around with a player character? Although the bean does have its charm.
Day 15/365locked half-out? half-in? semi-locked-in?Tasks I made progress on:
• Khrome
◦ Did about 4 or 5 hours of work, got into the flow state during the last hours or so and finished basically all of the obstacles for my game. Now all that's left to do is make levels, cleanup the ui, add audio, and a mini tutorial.

kinda ehh day today, locked in a bit for overglade but that's about it. Was afk for a good bit. I'm continuing the habit of waking up and reading a book first thing in the morning, which is nice.
Here's a screenshot of a level I made to test out all of the obstacles. I think some of them (spinner, moving platform) should be more visually distinct or indicative of its purpose, and also I should add some particle effects to the 'fan' (translucent thing) to indicate its direction but that's about it. I should also make the gold and grey variants (the core mechanic is you switch between two states [blue and gold], grey obstacles exist in both states)
Day 14/365me when the <#C09HDTRNZJQ|>Tasks I made progress on:
• Khrome
◦ New project I made for #C09EZSEMB16| to try and get the hours for Overglade...
◦ I finished nearly all the basic systems - levels, the main mechanic of switching states, basic UI
◦ Nearly 5.5 hours of work done today - the most this year!

today was a very locked in day. Wrote a bit in reflections. I also woke up today and read a book instead of opening slack first thing in the morning :yayayayayay: didnt move the new quotes to the vault tho :noooovanish:
anyways there isn't much I can show about the game itself cause you can't show the mechanics in a single screenshot so here's the main menu splash screen thingy, will change in the future
Day 13/365all the streaksTasks I made progress on:
• Signalbreak
◦ FINALLY MANAGED TO REMOVE THE HEADER OFF THOSE GODDAMN GRAPHNODES.
◦ Also setup C# for the project, had to install .NET twice because I was stupid and didnt realize I had the non-C#-compatible version of the project.
▪︎ Why go through all this suffering, you ask? (Ok it wasn't that much work it was just mildly fustrating but) You know what requires fast code? Audio generation. Yea I played with audio generation that was why I did allat was to hype up the fact that I was doing audio gen. uhh. yea hope you enjoyed reading that block of text.

Here's a snippet of my dashboard that includes my streaks and the hackatime thing. Note to self: change the colors for mood and productivity it's very hard to differentiate between them. Also yea I haven't written any (evergreen) notes I should do that aosjfoiaejsoejgoieg
Also technically it is day 14 now hence why the logged time is so little, I should go sleep-
Day 12/365mfw I wrote yesterday's day as 10/365Tasks I made progress on:
• Signalbreak
◦ Added a bunch of stuff - worked on how the data flow between nodes would work, setup a SawGenerator module, designed a SignalSpec class that's basically a stack with all the primitive waves and modifiers that gets compiled when needed. And a bunch of other stuff.
• Made a new T1! Technically T0 if that exists cause it's more along the lines of RP and bot interactions. #C0A85KEAZKN|!

Also I wanted to stop everything else at 11 and do reflections starting then but I got carried away by Signalbreak. Oh well. Atleast that's a good problem to have, that I was too locked in.

Worked on Signalbreak today. Nothing much else. Didn't have any intriguing thoughts today so nothing to log on that front either...
I already worked on connections in another test, so the module/GraphNode in the image doesn't have ports. I'm just showing the GraphEdit changes and how the GraphNode/Module is locked to the side (just a simple clamping of the relative position of the graphnode)

Didn't lock in in the slightest. Had to go to the hospital again. Neon Genesis was... uhhh... an experience. Did a comparable amount of reflection to yesterday, yesterday's was just a massive dump of thoughts so that makes sense.

Didn't lock in in the slightest. Neon Genesis is fun thooo. Also I made a proper reflection for once, catalogued some of my shower thoughts + a few more of my own on my gender identity and stuff. I think I wrote about 600-700 words (I know what you see in those numbers. I'm watching you. :suspicious_acorn:) in the span of 20-30 minutes. I hope I can continue to remember to catalog them. The whole day wasn't a waste after all :3
Posting an image of the Calendar plugin including a wordcount indicator for each daily note. For context: The first dot in the calendar for each day just means that something was written. Since I have a template for daily notes, an 'empty' note would still have words denoting its structure (headings, dataview code, etc). tl;dr it's easy to get the first dot but takes a lot of writing to get subsequent dots. Something to that effect. I should go to bed.

I finished my essays! On the music side, I think what I'll do is force myself to choose a set of random instruments and make a song out of them. I also journaled a bunch so that is an improvement, mostly just yapping about random thoughts but I'm hoping that once I get into the flow I start tracking more deeper thoughts and stuff.
Some things I should do tomorrow:
• Fill out everything else in the Common App
• Play around with the plugins I didn't get to try because of some issues with loading them
• Work on my aces project brainstorm or one of the slackbots

just worked on college essays for the day, didn't do much else other than try to setup Omnivore on my other laptop, and I keep failing miserably. Chatted with some people. I thought making a lock-in call in my personal channel would make me lock in (because of accountability n stuff) but barely no one joined (except for when I was afk and @khang200923 sometimes) and since I was muted and had my camera off there was nothing much to hold me accountable. Hmm.

I need to think of setting up an Omnivore container for all the media I consume. Maybe after college apps?
But yea, nothing much happening. Today's photo? Here, have this screenshot I took of birthstones because it popped up during a nice random conversation.
Day 1/365Tasks I made progress on:
• Get my personal knowledge system/digital garden running comfortably
◦ Set some basic stuff up in my old vault, like
▪︎ a new theme (pink so pretty :yayayayayay:),
▪︎ Calendar/Daily Note system
• with quick journalling using a command,
▪︎ a dashboard using canvasses and Dataview
▪︎ Zettelkasten note templates (Literature, Fleeting, Evergreen) and commands to add them (Literature, Fleeting)
▪︎ Quotes system to append to Literature Notes
▪︎ Syncing with Fleeting Notes (the app)
▪︎ Installed and set up a bunch of community plugins, some of which I won't be able to see in action until some time into the life of the vault

Overall, it was a productive day! Haven't been this locked in in a long time, almost rivalling my #C073L9LB4K1| times... new year magic? Mayhaps :shrug3d: But also this is the third time I'm building a personal vault from scratch so that also might have something to do with it :heavysob:
I should think of adding gimmicks to my daily routine, maybe a small random challenge everyday? And also to these posts too... :thonk:
Parents were out the whole day, so it was a lot quieter at home. Maybe that's partly why I was so focused? Don't think I would've noticed it subconsciously anyway with me blasting white noise at max volume through my headphones :heaviesterstsob:
day 11 of le :50days:
Worked on Chordism for about 6hrs today!
• (Chordism) Made an editor script and a scene to dynamically create chords (for now, no barre chords) and save them in the filesystem.
• (Chordism) various miscellaneous updates to the systems and enums to work with the editor script
Didn't go to the gym today, was too locked in :sweat_smile-hole: but 6hrs? I'm slowly getting back into the flow nice
Nothing much except I still haven't finished the Critical Role episode, I do love me a good chunk of video to consume over the course of multiple lunchtimes
here's the pic :yayayayayay:
skipped a day so day 10 of :50days::noooovanish:
I worked on Chordism today! It's a new project so I had to do a bunch of groundwork stuff.
• (Chordism) Created a system to make Chord resources, which contain multiple chord shapes, which are just a list of notes (TODO: add barre chord handling), as well as a scene that displays a ChordResource.
• (Chordism) Also made some very scuffed art assets for it :prayge:
• (Chordism) Next steps would be to made a chord object that contains this chord display, and also allows the user to cycle between the chord shapes
That was a lot of work I did in the span of the last 2-3 hours! This might be the project that brings me back to my 10hrs/day grind.
Other than that, most of the day was spent waffling around and watching the latest episode of Critical Role :shrug3d:
In other news:
• Pull day! Nothing much to say except there were people using some of the machines and instead of asking them to swap between sets I did a bunch of other push and leg workouts so that I don't interact with people :heavysob:. Preacher curls are always fun tho, did 20kgs for 10x2-3 sets
• Joined the webring over at r.sahil.ink that was fun :yayayayayay:
yea thas about it
it may or may not be day 8 of :50days:
I just worked on the #C09QZE9D85U| website...
idk if the website is good or not sent the figma export to the potential sponsor for some opinions
also went to the gym it was leg day :noooovanish:
took a lot of naps so not that productive today but issalright
did some college application stuff today went well
Uhh no photos for today so here is a photo of buffbird for no reason so that scrappy doesnt smite me
oello its uh day 7 of :50days: i believe
I decided to work on my ysuii (jk its YSWSs there was a massive conversation in confessions) (#C09QZE9D85U| and #C09TG04FFK6|)
• (Bossfighting) I think i created this today or yesterday, but I started ideas on the logo design. hopefully it doesn't end up too chaotic
• (Partybox) started drawing out all of the drawings from the jackbox gamenight in affinity (which i just downloaded today so a lot of the drawings are scuffed, compounding with my severe lack of drawing experience :noooovanish:)
• (Partybox) redrew the mascot (partypheus) in affinity instead of aseprite this time (dk why I thought drawing it in aseprite initially would be a good idea) and it looks kinda cute
In other news,
• Went to the gym :exhausted: it was pull day, preacher curls are always fun tho bicep go boom
• Joined some personal channels today!
oh yea here's the partypheus redesign :yayayayayay: im bad at art ok lemme have this :heavysob:
I guess I have to end this with something funny or deep or something
uhh
"Build with each other. Be brave in reaching out, and be forgiving in your interactions."
alr bye
its-a-me, day 5 of :50days:
• (Not an Incremental) Added a new "Action" class with a bunch of inherited objects that you add under nodes that need them and they run specific code like obtaining some stat or purchasing something! Might merge this with the upgrade system somehow
• (Not an Incremental) Added a new platform to test it. Also, made a Platform class that listens to the signal bus (added that as well) for a sign that the platform was purchased
• (Not an Incremental) Basically a bunch of infra for the game. And now I'm stuck with the looming horror of designing the actual game :noooovanish:
On another note:
• Gym today, push day raaah
• stopped listening to white noise and started listening to the alan becker lofi livestream
• today was much more productive, maybe tomorrow I can actually go back to doing my regular 5hrs/day? not yet 10/day tho
can't post video cause too lazy to open OBS or download a clip thingy so here's a pic of after the purchase
DAY 3:
• Made viewport and fullscreen
• Wip with loading spiders into it :DD
