Hello there! I said in the Twitter thing that I'd write a Weekly Update, so here I am, doing so!

Unfortunately though, I've got irritatingly little to report... Over the last few weeks, I've got basically nothing done due to Christmas and the New Year causing me stress, and making me feel unsettled and stuff like that...

Since that's over now, I've wanted to get back to work, but I'm trying to get back into a timetable thing that was working really well for me before, and it's causing difficulties, since my sleeping pattens were disrupted over Christmas, and readjusting your body clock is never easy. I think I'm fully adapted now, but for the last few weeks I've been really tired most of the time, yawning constantly, unable to focus, my eyelids and limbs were extremely heavy, etc, etc...

Excuses, excuses!

Anyway, I'll get back to work on Miasmon tomorrow. There's still an annoying amount of work left to do... and I've not really been eager to get around to it, since it's mostly stuff I have been putting off due to disinterest and the tediousness of it.

I still haven't done any of the music for the game, and I think that's putting me off a lot. I mean, I really like doing the music for my games, and playing them feels so empty without any music. Usually, I'll do at least some of the music early on, since it makes the development from then on a lot more exciting.
But I've been struggling with the Miasmon music for months... I just seem to be having more difficulty getting a Main Theme than I have with my other games. I've tried dozens of times, but nothing sounds exactly right... I know what I want, but it's hard to get it just right.
I'm not looking for advice, and I know what I'm doing; I go through this with music quite often, and always get there eventually, with enough tries... It's just taking longer than usual this time, annoyingly.
Once the Main Theme is in place, the rest should come quite easily though. I could probably finish the whole soundtrack in about a week once I'd got going.

I'm sorry that I don't have anything much to say about game progress... I was making great progress before Christmas though, and want to get back to that, and will, next week!



I HAVE however added some stuff to this site which may be of interest to you.
You can now add additional information to your profile:

You can add your Job... I know that a lot of members are too young to have a job though, so I also added a 'Dream Job' thing, which is the job you'd LIKE to have. This still applies even if you have a job, of course! Things like this say a lot about a person, I think.

You can also add your 'Political Ideology'. I know nothing about politics myself, so this thing is largely useless to me, but I understand that it's important to other people, and says a lot about people.

You can add your academic interests, too. These are your school/university subjects that you study or studied, or which you prefer above others. Are you into Maths and Physics, or History and Literature? These things say a lot about a person too, I think.
I know that the Interests could be used for listing such things, but I think that having this separate section for it will be of interest too.

Finally, I've reintroduced the 'Irregularities' thing from the old site... I know that some people thought it was creepy and awkward, since the idea of even suggesting that anyone is flawed or abnormal in any way is taboo or something. But why should we not acknowledge things that are a massive part of peoples' lives and personalities?
I mean, my Social Anxiety is much of who I am, and it affects how I think and act. By openly mentioning that I have it, I can explain my behaviour better, and maybe even find people with the same issue that I can relate to.
This site has always attracted a lot of people with things like Asperger's too, and since these things are aspects now, I'll be curious about how 'popular' such conditions end up being.

Please use that section only for serious, named conditions though. Being wheelchair-bound, or having Asperger's, is notable, but having a double-jointed thumb or being 'slightly autistic' by your own assessment isn't worth mentioning.
The point of them is to create groups that other people will be a part of, like with all aspects. So if you add Asperger's, then you can see what other people have added Asperger's too from the aspect page. It's unlikely though that multiple people will add specific and trivial things like "sometimes my left shoulder hurts a bit".

Oh, and you can also add or remove Interest-type aspects to your Likes or Hates from their individual aspect pages. This only works with Interests though; not any other kind of aspect.

I hope you enjoy this immensely!!111!1
