I can live with that! :ROFLMAO:


I will put you on the list if you keep that dren up........
I just thought she would look cool with rounded glasses, teeth apparel, nerdy clothes and shy... on the first year, then well, her rise to greatness.

But, yeah, her being faithful to that SOB, kinda kills it... :(

Forgive me, I think I heard my teenage self ringing the bell...

Peace ;)

Every game has its issues. My Dorm is far from perfect, but I work every day to make it better. Sometimes I manage to improve and sometimes don't, but there are a lot of great games out there!


Yes, Nanowrimo's goal is 50k words, I just checked, so no winning it with a My Dorm update :D
If I had to write a 50k word update in 30 days, and I had someone who rendered it, I guess it would be "easy". In the first week and a half of development for v.0.16, I wrote 19,065 words, and then stopped writing for almost 3 weeks while I rendered the 3,307 renders needed to get those 4 scenes to life. Last week I wrote ~10,500 words because I stopped rendering. And translated the first 19,000 words.
Being passionate about what you do, having most of the story already thought, and wanting to provide a quality game are powerful driving forces.
To be honest, forcing yourself to write 50k word novel within 30 days is a noble, yet a bit crazy goal, in my opinion. That's somewhat half a number of words for a book. I can't say for other people, but I know wouldn't be able to write half a book within such time. At least not without sacrificing the general quality of it, like world building, characters, dialogues, without retouching and rewritting some of those for the sake of cohesion. I am more of a "quality over quantity" man. Sometimes even nitpicking too much, if I'm being honest.

Still, if you could turn those renders into words My Dorm update would surley fit into that 50k word goal. On the other hand, how could you tell how much one render is worth words? One could be taken right of the bat within few minutes, while the other could take an hour to set up and then another one hour to fix it, because you noticed at the end something is wrong.

My wife stopped fattening me when I arrived at 100 kg (220 pounds). Too much for a 1,70 m (5'7") guy. Since then I lost ~15 kg. Now I'm fat, but once again is easier to walk around me than to jump over me.
Oh, wow, you're so smol. I could easily walk over you. :D
I am 191 cm tall, having 120 kilos of... muscles. Yes, my beerbelly is a muscle too! I can't be convinced otherwise!

COVID lockdown messed with my sleeping cycles and I haven't recovered from it. I sleep 4-5 hours daily + a 40-minute siesta 5 days a week. Making use of those extra wake hours to develop is a good way to not waste them.
I sacrificed family time in the first stages of development. A lot of family time. It didn't go well. I (logically) only managed to get an angry wife. So we negotiated. Now, family time is longer than a year ago and everyone is happier.
Me too. Luckly Covid didn't fuck my sleeping schedule. I fucked it up myself by working two shift each day every day, sleeping but only few hours and having a nap here and there if my job allowed me to take one.
Human body is an amazing machine, capable of adapting to many circumstances. Yet I would be glad if mine could get back as it was eariler.
