Starshine September Commit Log (Patreon)

when's the last time we did this, april? okay. for everyone who's joined us since then, every month or so i post the last month's commit names. so, what are these??

well, we use a software called Git to keep track of the game files with everyone making changes, and when we actually want to save our changes to the Git so other people can see or work from them, that's called a Commit. each Commit has to have a name, and good practice would probably name them descriptively, but sometimes good practice is really boring, and what are we here to do if not enjoy the journey of development? 

so sometimes we just have silly commit names, sometime it's informative, and either way it all gets shared to you. these commits are anonymous, without context, and in order from oldest to newest

so, when we last left our heroes, i mentioned that we're pretty much through most of the refactors i mentioned in The New Development Breakdown. but if you remember that post well or just went and read it because i linked it there.... then you know that was only half of it. 

the other half was the art. all the art. there's so much art.

it's art time. 

it's been art time for a little bit. we've got a handful of things to post for you, starting with the demo design revisions i promised a bit ago. we will see those soon... but more importantly, lots to make beyond that. we'll be getting there.

it's also writing time. i think i actually know how to talk about the writing going forward. at least a little bit. we'll see. 

other times it is:

• 9:54p
• 21:54
• REBORN DEV COMMENTARY STREAM LETS FUCKING GO BABES

actually it's not currently that time right now, but it will start being that time at 3p MST this saturday on twitch. we'll also be getting the videos up on youtube after a bit too with some special editing support from the squad. 

i'll be (slowly) playing through the game, reading lines, chatting with folks, and talking about some of the history behind development as i completely randomly remember it. and until we need to change it, we go on each saturday from there.

soon we'll start adding starlight dev streams to the mix. one thing at a time. 

i hope to see you all there!
