I've been picked for my task. It may come late, as the deadline is two weeks.
Well, even if you don't do all of the art they need, you can still consider the goal completed on a technicality. Your stated goal was to assist one person by doing art for their game. As soon as you've done the first bit of art for them, you've done that.  Btw, I love your Last Delusion concept. Hope you don't get too sidetracked from that! |

Crunch time! So my weekends has been almost totally usurped from me. I really think that I over packed my personal life this weekend... and instead of whining about it by going into a long song and dance I am going to say that I am going to attempt to pull a 'game company' maneuver, and very quickly hash out my goal so I can [\,] check it off my list, have it barely functional (yet still in place).. and then do it properly after release... Or in this case deadline. So I currently *have* a user profile pages setup, leader boards should be quick and dirty.. It is the webcam interface that I am most unsure about, as I haven't dealt with anything like that and most of the examples dont strictly use AS3, but also Flash Pro... which I suppose I could use my works copy, but I'm gonna hack an example flash thing into place for the moment.
Update you in less than an hour and a half!
Andy

Alright... so, it seems that I took a different 'game company' maneuver, I did the "push back release date" move... but only by 50 minutes. So not too bad. As predicted, leader board hack was VERY easy, and user profile wasn't to bad either, although I did spend more time on it simply because I know this page will be a prime visit focal point in the future and should be done (or started) right the first time... in between developing them two pages I did the picture uploading. I blame the late release on this.. I had a somewhat working prototype at one point in time, which had somehow disappeared, so I started again from the template I had. I pretty much just hacked an example I came across into working with my DB and layout. Also while doing this I had a heck of a time generating thumbnails for the pictures, not because it is a difficult task, but because of simple sleep deprivation. I HAD a working function that I was using elsewhere in my site that did ALL of the work for me... and for whatever reason, it didn't dawn on me to simply use that function and call it good.. I tried hacking in several different ways until finally I said "There has to be an easier way!" and then it occurred to me that there was and I was staring right at it this whole time. So Martoon... You can mark this one as failed, or completed.. or confused, however you want! It is all completed, but 50 min late... I suppose it all boils down to how merciful you are feeling Till next time!

I suppose it all boils down to how merciful you are feeling No idea what you're going on about. The date in the spreadsheet says May 2, and you're posting this at 5:50pm on May 1. That sounds complete to me. |

Well, looks like drChengele has the only pending goal now. I (or someone else) better post a new goal before May 7. I don't think this thread has ever been without at least one pending goal since it started. Can't break the streak now!

Wow... I promise I'm not crazy! I am pretty sure that the server time is either wrong, or maybe in a different frame of time than current world strand. As I click submit it is 11:57 on 5/2/2011 ... Central Time, US
wow.. this server is -4 hours off from my current time.
That will be good to know for future progress goals.
So yes Marty... I win this one!

I'd post a goal, if my project todo was in a clear enough state that I knew a semi-far-off task that would actually fit on it ^^ (it's all there i think, just needs to be sorted by completion date)

If you need instructions on how to provide accountability, check out the enclosed instruction book.Noah, I WILL hold you accountable now!! And you set quit a large span to accomplish. Must be an epic game! Will you release incremental updates??
Eh, about that, May 31 is when I want to get the first incremental update out there. No, the final release is probably gonna be months after that. And it probably won't be as epic as you expect; even though it's a large timespan for a lot of indies, I like it because I work abysmally slowly. (I figure that if I set the bar low I'll at least have a chance of making it...) |

Alright, round 3 for me. I haven't done a lot of work on this project in the last week with just solo ambition simply because of good weather. And as I expect good weather to continue somewhat, I am gonna set my goal pretty spanned out too. Deadline: end of May (on or before the 31st) Goals: - Major focus on aesthetics and general navigation. Make things redirect when need be and provide ample information as far as how the website works.
- A more custom, self skinned Picture taker.
- Maybe a few bug fixes along the way.
- Also considering creating a few bugs to drag back a possible release date a little bit more... <-Still considering this one though
- More aesthetics
- Make more pages open to the public, as so people can get the point about what goes on within the site, without having to actually sign up first... In this way I hope to provide the explanation up front better, and gain user trust so they know what they are getting into which will in turn make them less leery to sign up for an account.

Wow, I am so sorry, guys! I'm subscribed to this thread, but for some reason I stopped getting email notifications (even though I have it set for that), so I never saw the last couple posts (or the goals that were added). I've put them in the table now. At least I got them in there the day before their deadlines, so you're still accountable. Again, my apologies. I have no idea why I didn't get the email notifications (they're not in my spam folder, either). If anyone posts a goal and doesn't see it in the table within 24 hours, please PM me (hopefully, I will get that email notification). |

Release YSWMI, the sequel to you probably won't make it, ( link), before July. If that can be done, I'm awesome. |
