'But Guys...what are you working on THIS SECOND?!'
Published on June 16, 2009 By ScottTykoski In Elemental Dev Journals

I really like writing journals for you guys, but I have a problem where, if I dont have time to construct something interesting (with videos or picts), I tend to focus on other tasks. This isn't a lazyman excuse, I jsut don't want to shortchange our fans.

Anyways, I found Twitter to be a great in-between for anyone that wants to be kept in the loop but dosen't mind their info presented sans-excitement.

This is the first week we have everyone back from the Demigod time-vortex, so we're shifting from basic 'feature implementation' to the 'polishing the game' portion of development.

Feel free to hop aboard and join our day-to-day!

Why join Twitter? Cannot you just bookmark the page and go there once in a while?

Because I'm an Elemental adict.

I don't like smoking things but now that there is Elemental goodness in crystal crystal form I will smoke it rather then wait for the powered form to show up so I can snort it.

We'll try and get back on there...it's just that other tools have come along that really step 'communications' up a notch (Skype's group converstations, forinstance, which auto-log and can be accessed from any machine).

Once the alpha is out we'll all have more to chat about

Are you telling me I'm going to have to use Skype in order to actively feedback on Elemental instead of IRC?

This should be added to the dictionary.

Only if the definition is based on South Park's 'rules' for calling shenanigans.

Umm... couldn't you have made a special dev post to record what you have done each day? You could write down what you have been doing (when it happens) into a text file, and at the end of each day, post the contents of this text file into this special post?

Jeeze, people, it's seriously just a webpage!  Why all the hate!?

I could have, but that's still 5 minutes at the end of the day when I'm wrappin stuff up and trying to make the rounds to check tasks. Plus, I don't find a list of 'what got done' to be particularily special...the point of this is to keep people informed on the day-to-day as things happen. Some users like that (like me), some don't, and they can wait until a beefy journal entry to see how everything is progressing.  It's just a matter of how you like your imformation

Whenever something becomes the new fad amongst the social networking crowd and the media, it draws immediate backlash from the more tech savvy people. Twitter is a particular target because its commonly used by emo kids who speak the language formerly known as English.

What you're seeing is a lot of that. Give it about two days and people will get over it, then the updates will be appreciated for what they are.

Twitter works for me. Thanks for the updates.

Best TAFKAP joke ever!

Especially if 'reasonable' forum folks will be kind enough to post the occasional summary for those of us with uncontrollable Twitter-twitches. Hint-hint.

~~~ (since I've given up on the "Quote" feature that never works without massive retyping)

We'll see if we can coordinate somebody from IRC to do that... mostly the people in IRC are pretty good at reposting links of Dev Blogs and Screenshots posted from non-Elemental places (Demigod places seem to be popular) so that the Elemental crowd can get the information as well.

I don't do these vile social networking things.  It's bad enough having messenger programs that let people talk to me.

People can bookmark this forum and check it whenever they want.

People cannot bookmark the Twitter page for Elemental and check it whenever they want.

Don't worry, BoogieBac, effort apreciated.
