Elemental:WoM on Twitter!

'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!

I don't care much for Twitter in general but I use it all the time to follow certain companies for updates.

So I have a Twitter account and rarely actually post anything. I don't follow anyone to see what they had for lunch.

I DO follow companies like Stardock and people like Zoomba and Frogboy to get the latest updates on games and patches.

I DO follow a couple local newspapers/radio stations to get local news.

I DO follow a few NFL related people, including the NFL commish and PR guy to get the latest NFL news.

Basically you can use Twitter as a great new aggrigator and nothing more.

Just to clarify for everyone: you don't need to join Twitter to subscribe to the TeamElemental feed. Just use an RSS reader to subscribe to it. I have a LiveBookmark in Firefox updating it, and it's working very nicely. I am not, nor am I likely to ever become, a Twit Tweet Twitterwhererer whatever.

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

I think yatzee (zero punctuation) says it best. "fans are annoying complaining dip-sh*ts who will never be greatful for any consession you make" and its true. no matter how you do the updates, somebody's going to complaign. Anyway, I personally am on the side of the fence that does not like twitter, but I'm willing to give it a try if it means I get updates on a regular basis.

Aaaaaaaahaaaaaaa. It's a bird! A tiny blue bird!

Man that has been stressing me out. I only now understood what the blue little thing at the bottom of the sword was. Been annoying the hell out of me since the Dev. Journal came up.

The bird is really just over-compensating.

At first I thought it was some kind of water elemental sprite, "holding" the sword in it's "hands" (the bird's wings) but it all just looked very wierd.

It still looks wierd, and it still doesn't make sense to me, but now I at least know (or think I know).

It makes perfect sense if you know that that bird is the Twitter mascot.

...with a giant flaming sword strapped to the side of it in an ill-fitting manner.

I told you, it has to compensate for its small, uh, birdhood.

My first impression of Twitter: Someone describing their vomit. Went downhill after that, so I never cared for it afterwards.

I did that that to a friend once but he wasn't interested in listening

I like the Twitter updates.

I like the updates. I just don't like Twitter.

So picky for a guy who sleeps with bears rather indiscriminantly.

Somehow this seems so appropriate I have to admit the twitter updates leave me feeling a bit envious. Here I'm writing rather dull code watching updates from TeamElemental and thinking that looks like a lot more fun to code...
