There is another heat wave again this week. Last week wasn’t too bad, but this week is even hotter than it was the weak before that. I guess with global warming, more heat waves will be common more often. I don’t think it got quite that hot right where I am living but the high was listed at 119 in some area near me today.
Today
So working on the main entrance to the theme part in Kawaii today. Also I decided to work on the phone app for the park too, so you can check it for more information about where stuff is but also what it is. As I am doing that I am wondering how strict of a timer I should put on the area. I want to have some sort of time limit I think, though not sure how strict. Should I give enough time for you to explore a lot, or should I make it so there is no way you can do everything then you have to make tougher choices on where to go? And if you wander around aimlessly you waste more time and can’t do as much stuff.
That is sort of realistic, if you go to a real theme park, feeling like you want to see everything but you can’t because there is so much. It also make more choices and give them more impact since you can’t do everything.
Stuff
So I think I will split up the work this week by area. In the fairy theme park in kawaii I have three areas. A river area, a forest area, a castle area and the main entrance. So I think working on each area for a day might work, then one day to work on getting it all working together. So:
Tuesday: Finish entrance area.
Wednesday: Finish River area
Thursday: Castle area
Friday: Forest area
Saturday: Get it all done and release the update.
On a side note, the amount of spam seems a bit less, since I banned a few words. I don’t think anyone will ever use the word cbd so I banned that, though I also banned the world blog, since a lot of spam says blog. Someone might innocent use that word though, so I am not sure. I think it might be fine though.
Hmm
Lately I been feeling like I need a vacation, and have some time off. Though I got lots of stuff I need to get done. Maybe after I get all of my unfinished games done, I will take some time off. Still got a lot to do before then though!
Today’s post is a bit late, since I lost track of time. I was taking a break so I played a game I got a while ago, called Chinese Parents and I forgot how addicting it was and ended up playing it way longer than I was planning. It is a raising simulator game, but with your parents always complaining you need to study more.
So
So no update this week, since I was just doing the setup for next week in kawaii. I got a pretty good set up to get things working for the theme park next week in kawaii. I kind of wonder if I should have all the places be different based on the time of the day, but that might be a ton of work.
Late post
Posting late tonight because I got distracted by a bunch of stuff. I was working on the games earlier today, and got a decent amount done but instead of posting when I was done I got into other stuff and then got distracted by that. So it wasn’t so much I got completely distracted and no work got done but I worked on stuff much earlier left to do other stuff and didn’t come back for a long time.
Theme park
Working on the theme park for Kawaii makes me think of the game planet coaster, where you can make your own theme park. I have that game, though have not played it in a while. It is a kind of fun game though, if you are into the building type games.
Spam
I am always getting spam from bots trying to post replies to my posts. Though recently there has been a ton spam about weed. I wonder if that is because one person just hired one bot to spam all the internet with weed ads so I get like 30 a day here, or if it is trending some where so there are a lot of ads about it or something. It does seem like weird ad trends come and go, though the ones that are most common and show up all the time are just random ones saying ‘hey cool site’ and stuff like that but they have a website link as their email. Which I am not even sure why they do that since you can’t see people’s emails when they post, so no one will see their spam website.
Outline
So I did a basic outline of how the fairy kingdom will be set up in Kawaii. Currently I got 16 locations that are rides, shops and places of interest and what not. And then a path leading around the park where I can put in other stuff. I didn’t really write much about any of the locations yet, just organized where there are and what they are.
This weeks plan
So this week I plan on working on Kawaii. I plan on being a little distracted this week and I got a side project to work on as well. So I am not going to release an update for Kawaii this weekend, but will next weekend. I was also thinking of doing that, because the next part of the game is a really big area. So I want to use the extra time to outline and set everything up for that. So releasing an update in the middle of working the next area isn’t the best timing, since stuff might be all over the place.
Speaking of the next area for the game, it is the big amusement park, fairy kingdom! I will spending this week, just adding different areas to go explore. I will probably make it so it is a big map where you can wander around and go to different shops or rides and see things. Which is why I want to take an extra week working this part of the game as well. The plan is to have it be by far the largest area of the game, so that you can really explore around.
Also since the next day is to spend another day exploring the same place, I will be able to copy some of the locations and what not. So putting the extra work in fleshing out the area, will help with that as well. It will be the same shops and rides on the second day, but you will be able to go with a date, so the experience will be different than on the first day.
