Oooooookay.
So um, first...dang, I literally just woke up, so no matter how I say this, it'll sound emotionally defensive...but um, I'm just gonna say it straight. I'm pretty sure last time I made it clear that I didn't play this in a while. I still check the pages regularly, but yes, I'm doing quite a lot of other stuff. I haven't really actually played AEWVS in like months. It sounds like MrDrNose is getting tired of it too by the looks of it. Granted, a ｌｏｔ of my main current projects surround it, but...um...you can guess why
Besides, 1: I have two unrelated tasks planned ahead of myself when I release Version 0.2 (god I'm wasting so much time), and 2: all the piles of ideas I still have stacked in my head are going to be ｒｅｖｏｌｕｔｉｏｎａｒｙ
So erm...basically I'm pretty much just as into this thing as the rest of you are. You all are still making a bunch of stuff about AEWVS (like basically art and music), but how long has it been since you last played it? Because I assume you haven't played it since last time. The thing is, all the fan project ideas I still have (that were/are/haven't even started being done), even other than my massive project (although they'd be comparatively minor), are very time-consuming. Plus, I've been accumulating some...hmm...I suppose...I didn't do it since like, one month ago I guess? I think I was doing an average of like...10 minor ones per month last time* I guess. But anyway, you probably noticed by now that even though I did get Twitch, the streams stopped coming and they barely started coming. Never mind the other projects. Yeah, I did use to waste entire hours on some of the test maps because fun, but last time that was...last year.
So basically yes, everything grinded to a halt and I think we all, slowly but surely, got unhooked from this thing. If coding wasn't so time-consuming, thought-invoking, tedious and downright monotonous, I would surely be the one holding everything up at this point. The thing about making friends is that it actually has a lot of advantages. I don't have much to do while coding. Sometimes I talk, and sometimes I listen to music or ambience, but I can't do anything that would make me unable to think the whole time, like watch a show. But with a friend, you can keep each other occupied while both getting work done and helping each other. I'm sure you already read some other insights in the document of Version 0.1 (the revelation).
In case you haven't figured it out yet I will say it straight-up to you...I am years behind on school
yes more years than this game existed (WAIT THIS GAME IS OLD???)
I like maths. They just shove a bunch of rules in your face and let you do all the work. Very simple. The drawback is that in maths and science, there is only one correct path to the answer. If you slip-up once, or don't know what to do but do something close enough, it will drag you exponentially divergently just like any mathematical hyperbolic chaotic system. The only thing that puts you back on track is when you see your answer has a mass of decimal numbers, and you know all of the options only have integers. In other subjects, it's really nice when you have a lot of different arguments and perspectives all converging into one conclusion. The thing is though, I don't learn anything until I use the information quite a few times. Which is why I remember silly things like googolplexianiteronhedronanavereondiallagoshalalcazaronbrientae, Oreichalkini Gata, Fidilektriki, Perpaoulkon, Pagoniplo-Igetis...? Nah didn't get that right, I barely see her; Peragmeti and Ormichanikardia, and don't know barely a thing about either Iraq, Iran or Zimbabwe. I suppose. I never bothered to learn the buses and destinations until I caught some myself, although to be fair I was waiting about an hour for them.
*sigh* why am I saying all this? I think my idea is pretty clear at this point. You were the one who talked about it in the parent comment, after all...
Yes I think that would ｓｅｒｉｏｕｓｌｙ benefit so many people on so many levels even if it sounds really unfair for a very particular reason. Although they stopped caring by the time I attended one of MUG's streams (or maybe they just forgot whatever I said, because honestly I'm quite emotionally volatile and I pretty much rely on it to be motivated to do anything). How could I deny such an opportunity? Most of my ideas haven't even been written down anywhere yet. The current simulation only handles the fundamentals and the engine, but I can think of at least five main benefits of my vision. (See if you can describe all of them.) I just need to do it.
And of course the problem is that it focuses heavily on the destination, not the journey. Which is extremely long.
So yes. I am all about productivity, but my demotivation and probably my mental disorders pick all of it up and put it directly in the hole. Besides, I've been having trouble getting actual opportunities recently anyways. Honestly I think I should be getting closer, not further. Considering the fact that I'm actually pretty far at the moment. It's just me though. And I have no idea where to actually find any other place, but um, well, two of my classmates did start a Discord server for a class project with me. Never got to know any of them prior to that point.
TL;DR: Guys I'm going to make it useful, but I need guys.
*When would that be? Last year? hmm...
P.S. who the heck calls me Firey at this time
