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)

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. |

Love the idea of this thread! It's just what I need to stop faffing around and get on with stuff. Ahem...
Goal: To finish my road tileset (112 images, 64x64) and stop fiddling with it!
Deadline:9pm, Sunday 19th June.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Edit: Oh GOD! How is it Sunday morning already?!

Done! With 30 mins to spare. After starting I found it didn't need to be 112 images in total, and I could "Optimize" it down to 48 images  Et Voila!  And now in delicious Mockup flavour...  |

Apologies for double (triple?) posting, but thought it would be better to start a new post than edit one and risk losing the new goal.
Next Goal: Choose and prototype a palette and style for sidewalks.
Deadline: 9pm, Sunday 26th June. Weekly deadlines work well!

Yeah, definitely better to make a new post for each goal (and each followup report). That gives me specific posts to link to in the table, and makes sure I get the thread notification email (I'm guessing I wouldn't for post edits). The new replies are also good for keeping the thread visible so people are aware of it. Tiles are looking good, btw. It's nice that you have multiple versions of each type of tile for random variation, and the cracks are spaced well so they fall within the confines of each tile but don't look like they're contained within grid cells when they're placed together. |

Hmm. Ok!  I hope a 2 month deadline counts. That's realistic for me right now. I'll learn one of the several game making programs I've downloaded to make an interactive environment. Painted, hopefully. Things react when clicked on. It may seem super simple, but I'd love to be able to create some things on my own, so this is my first step. We're almost to the end of this month, so deadline August 31. Progress: Tutored in Unity, mocked up level in Photoshop with sprites/background. Next I'll plug it into Unity, and then make it look nice. |

Done!  This is the "Skeleton" design for the sidewalk. The individual slabs in the sidewalk will either be modified into a tileset, like the roads, or they'll be deformed at random during level generation, hence why it looks a bit bare at the mo. Which leads me onto my next goal... GOAL: Make a working build of road generation, using procedural generation from a seed, in GameMaker. DEADLINE: 1st August 2011. Going to give myself a decent amount of time for this one. Love this thread! |

Just chiming in to say there's absolutely NO WAY I'm going to make my deadline this time. An...err...an extension! That's what I need...an extension! I approached the problem totally the wrong way - started coding before I knew what I was doing. Bad management etc. So! Ahem...deferred deadline to 14th August if you would be so kind |

Great idea for a thread! worthy of being on the site front page  one thing though, seperate the "pending", from the "completed" from the "failed" in that order. what do you think?? also as a rule let each entry be dependant on time deadlines. so even if the poster completes it the day after they still "failed" might avoid confusion and encourage real goals. dont mean to take over your thread just suggesting |

Putting the pending goals in a separate listing at the top is a good idea. If/when I have time to modify the script, I'll do that (and yes, I'm aware of the irony in that rather evasive commitment in the context of this thread). I'd like to automate it so people can post their goal and completion update in some specified format and it would automatically update the table, and also change it to Fail if there were no update by the deadline. That's substantially more complex than the script I'm using now, though, and the SMF forum software tends to be problematic for scripted login and posting (from what I've read). In any case, I still like to give people the option to finish something after the deadline and have the status changed to Late. No point in removing all incentive after the deadline. |
