Still kind of busy today, though I got a lot of other stuff done, so should hopefully be free to focus more on working on the game now, than over the weekend and the last couple of days. This is probably why I felt I was so productive before, working in the mornings. Since even though I am not a morning person and kind of tired in the morning, there isn’t any distractions if I get up early specifically to focus on doing stuff. If distractions keep popping up, might have to start doing that again. Even if is getting pretty hot in the mornings and it kinds of suck to be doing much during the day(well not like I have to go outside at least).

So really busy today too, though Monday’s is usually a bit of a light day for planning things out. This week going to continue working on Old Soul again, to finish up the pregnancy arc. I am sort of wondering if I should start working towards the end of the game. Since that would be going full circle. Being reborn, growing up, having a kid. Well I don’t want to end it too early, and the character is still fairly young even if they have a child. Though it is getting to where I might start thinking about where I want the end of the game to go towards.

Next week and the week after, I will be working on magical girl contest. I think after that, I might take a break from all the games and focus on the contest for tfgamesite. That will be putting us into Come next month, that will give me 3 months to work on the contest game. That is probably more time than I need, though I don’t want to be rushing on it at the last minute either.

Happy 4th of July. Spent most of the day just hanging out with family for the holiday and then set off some fire works and stuff. So not much really got done game wise today, as expected.

So I decided that I will put out the update next week after all. I mentioned I was thinking about it, but then also I didn’t get anything done at all today because school is out and my nephew showed up to bug me all day. I could delay it until tomorrow, but then it is a holiday tomorrow so I might have stuff going on then too. So since I was thinking of just doing the update next week anyway, and then today turned out to be a really bad day too, I think I will just go with that.

So the plan is to work on Old Souls again next week, and I am thinking if I should release the update this week, or just go for another week then release the bigger update then. This week doesn’t have a lot of plot development, but there is a bunch of sex scenes since most of the paths involve more sex(such as with your lover).

It does feel a little like cheating, since I can put off some of the work of organizing everything to be at the same point and linking back together for the update. Basically I can leaves things a little messy, if I know people wont see it, then can just do it next week. That said it will still get cleaned up for the update next week if I go that way, and I can use the time saved to work on other scenes. So it isn’t really a bad thing. I probably wouldn’t want to leave it like that if I was taking a long break, but since I am working on it two weeks in a row, it also makes sense to save some time on it.

Still a little behind my schedule, but hopefully I should have a lot of time to catch up on things tomorrow. Over the long term, I do feel like making a schedule and sticking to working on games in a more methodical way has improved how much I get done and got me doing more consistent work and updates and stuff. Though I still feel like I need to work on the day to day stuff. It seems like there is a lot of stuff that can throw me off track, and usually I can catch up on the work later in the week and still get things done. However, I think I can get even more work done if I get stuff done every day, which is really my goal.

I feel like I got pretty much nothing done today. Way too many things distracting me, and other people distracting me. I got a bunch of stuff I need to do tomorrow too, at least early in the day, but hopefully I will be able to get back on track and get a lot done tomorrow evening.

For for Old souls, there are a few paths for pregnancy. Obviously, there is don’t get pregnant at all. Then get pregnant from your lover(the male one or female one), get pregnant from getting raped, or from the last area from the wolf spirit. Tonight I will be working on just general stuff, and advance time a little bit to get to the pregnancy.

Wednesday: Will work on lovers routes

Thursday: Will work on rape routes

Friday: Will work on the spirit route

Saturday: I am going to try to tie everything together. And also work on the not getting pregnant route.

So I was thinking about it and one of my problems I got some times is that I am thinking about a lot of things and my mind wanders. Because I want to do a lot of stuff but time is limited! Anyway even if I put doing something off until later some times I start thinking about it anyway and it is distracting. Also while I did set aside a day off to play games and do stuff I wanted, I was thinking it can still be distracting during the week if I only reward myself at the end of the week.

So I was thinking about this. What if I put in daily rewards? So I get my goal for the day, then I can immediately get rewarded and go do the other thing I wanted to do. Also I was thinking I might just schedule some of the stuff into the week to do regardless of anything else, just so I can get it out of my system and not get distracted. So something like, I got an hour to play games on Tuesday but if I finish my goal then I can play as much as I want later that day. Of course, when I am talking about distractions I don’t mean just things that are generally considered slacking off(such as playing games or watching movies hehe). There is also other things, like reading, writing for non-tf related stuff, checking the news and things like that, that can distracted by but are productive in their own ways(just not specifically productive for tfgames, though I would say improving my general writing helps that too).

So this week I am going to try that, though I wont post all the random rewards and stuff I plan on doing, since people probably don’t care too much about those things. I will just leave them in person copy of my schedule. As for games I just did a big update for kawaii so will work on some other stuff for a bit now. This week, I will go back to Old souls, then Magic girl contest. Actually, maybe I will do two weeks in of row of each, and try to make a lot of progress. I will start with Old Souls.

So this week my goal is to do the pregnancy stuff for Old souls. I am not entirely sure where I am going with that story yet so tomorrow I will organize everything and plan things out then release more concrete goals for each day.

So was mostly taking the day off to relax a little. Often I play video games on my time off, though today I was working on a character for a world of darkness table top game(though playing it online). Also slept in a bit and tried to get some extra rest as I felt a bit tired lately. Anyway, so not much happening today.

Tomorrow I will need to work out my schedule for the next month. Even though I got some stuff done this month I don’t feel I been as productive as I could have been, so will need to think about tomorrow as well to help get a good schedule going for the coming week.
