Ame's REE Timer v0.0.0


Hi fellow teammate/ 

I would like to announce, Ame's REE Timer (v0.0.0)

______________________________

Description:

Basically a Pomodoro Timer to keep you productive... or at least keeping you from sitting like a shrimp, lul. 

Thought of making a timer to keep track sitting sessions. My back is killing me. 

Heavily inspired by an online Pomodoro Timer

______________________________

Update:

Works everything like a Pomodoro Timer should be, in terms of functionality.




Also available on itch.io and gamejolt:




Things to achieve in a sense:
- Play around with timers 
- Manipulate window autofocus (i.e. Allow windows to autofocus when needed)
- Get a simple, rough prototype up and running for personal confidence boost or smthg idk

Future implementation:
-  Add own ringtone
- Customizable work/break durations

p/s:
This is my first ever finished product in ages.
Just manage your expectations a little.

Past Me Future Me - A Youtube channel


Hi internet/ (a rare second post on the same day, i know) (don't worry, the v0 build is going up as scheduled) 

Not really game dev related, but i've been thinking of creating a YT channel that stars blah blah two characters future me and past me would say

Initially i wanted it to be a pure game dev channel with animatic/ episodic shenanigans with the two. and maybe upload game dev progress? idk.

The problem arises for me is whether to create a new channel? or stick to one channel and upload everything there. Makes sense to upload everything in one place, but rn my gut is telling me to separate them stuff. SO, i'm not sure what to do anymore.

I have animatics planned out y'know.
EP 1:
"So, you wanna be a game developer?"
"A piece of advice from me to you."
"Don't" - END -

Then stuff like, EP 0 be like past me is trying to be funny getting on with the "Ha ha, i'm in the bathroom for a year" joke, while ended up in the future (or past idk) in the same room with future me. EP 2 be like future me told past me to not make the same mistake, as future's future me told him the exact same thing to NOT do game dev but future me did it anyway. 

Gonna be light hearted banters i guess. NO POLITICS. NO BASHING OTHERS. (well i guess commentary is a pass?) (still working out what is better for the channel doe) Purely banter between two characters, programmer jokes, game dev jokes. Should i create under the persona of the character doe... another big headache. SHIT.
...
...
...

Imma have my conclusion here. Have it in the same channel, and separate it via playlists. I know my dumbass self that i can't manage two channel at once, even if i want to and tried. Maybe i can then focus on being the joker of all trades in one channel. At least is in the same niche if that makes sense. I'm going to talk about Nintendo stuff anyways lul. 

Owh yea. SUB TO MY CHANNEL PLIS --> Ahwen

Project DrStrange - A Podomoro Timer

Hey internet/ 

Remember last time i blabbered about making a Rhythm game dedicated to Vtubers? Yea. It's on indefinite hiatus. But in all seriousness, i still do want to make something in honor of them being here, in the now (a blessing, truly).

Anyways, i thought of something small just to get something out and break my lazy ass streak. 
A Podomoro Timer. 


Just a quick summary for those who aren't familiar with the term: 

A Pomodoro Technique is a way to break up your workload and/or responsibilities for the day into smaller, manageable chunks. While having short breaks in between, referred as pomodoros. After repeating for four times, you get a well deserved long break.

So... yeah. I actually finished something functional. I can't believe is that simple... at least the base of it is lol. Version 0 gonna be out in 1-2 days. If it's possible i want it out tomorrow dammit. So... there's that for an update.

Ngl i was going to rant how shitty work is, my life is, followed by questioning in general how everyone is making progress while i'm stuck unsure what to do.  I used to blame why things aren't going my way in the slightest. But now, i'm just tired from ranting i guess, and just do good work, regardless of feedback or lack thereof.

Nobody will ever know the struggles of a person, yet i'm spending all my energies trying to prove such a pointless battle to no avail. I won't say i'm wise to point it out, but rather, i'm stupid enough to repeat such a mistake in plain sight. 

2020 taught me to know my place. A nobody. I guess that's when i can start being what i want to be. Guess the anime. : D

Anyways, cheers to 2021 guys/
