Screenshot Saturday: Comix! (+ Patreon Rewards) (Patreon)

Thank you all so much for your feedback on Chapter 1 of my upcoming explorable!  (If you missed it, I shared it in this Patron-exclusive post.)  I'm trying to get into a regular-ish habit of sharing progress & setbacks, so here goes: another Screenshot Saturday!

This week, I finished all the interactives, writing, and art for Chapter 2.  Chapter 1 was The Science of Spaced Repetition, Chapter 2 is The Art of Spaced Repetition.  First I show why SR works, then I show how SR works (& best practices for SR).

There's only one chapter left to do, and it'll be much shorter than Chapter 1 & 2.  The final Chapter will let you make your own Spaced Repetition cards, and offer downloadable goodies to help you get started with SR today.  (Downloadables like: a phone/laptop wallpaper to remind you to stick to your habit, a set of SR flashcards to get started, the apps/tools/calendar you need to do SR, etc)

All in all, here's my progress:

• Project Setup [DONE]
  - Outline // done
  - Code a framework for an "interactive comic" // done
  - Code for allowing multiple translations/languages // done
• Chapter 1: The Science of SR [DONE]

So that means I'm... halfway done?  Not sure.  I need to learn to "underpromise and overdeliver", so let's say this will be done by Halloween.  I'm pretty sure I can get it done a week or more before then, but let's really, really underpromise on that.  Sorry, and thank you so much for sticking with me through this!

Oh, and speaking of Patreon rewards, I just sent out a survey to those of you who picked the limited $10/mo reward, asking what Peep you want.  And for those who picked the $5/mo reward, here's your Polygon avatars for the month! 

(Note: make sure you've actually selected the reward on the Patreon page. If you're pledging $5+/mo but didn't select the reward, Patreon's tools can't tell me about it!  If you're pledging $5+/mo but missing on the above page, please let me know!)

Anyway, that's this week, in 1 GIF, 4 screenshots, and a wall of text! 🎉

Thank you all again so much for supporting me, encouraging me, and giving honest feedback and cool suggestions <3  We're almost done with this; stay tuned!

~ Nicky

Actually...

QUESTION FOR Y'ALL: Would you like to see more educational stuff, even if not interactive (e.g. zine-comics like How Do We Learn) – or more interactive stuff, even if not educational? (e.g. story-games like We Become What We Behold)
