Dev. Journal: squeek. (2011-03-28)

Hey everyone,

I want to try something. I'm going to stream myself working on FF every day from 7pm PST to 8pm PST. I'll do it for at least a week and we'll see how it goes.

What I'll be working on:
  • Getting 2.42 ready for release
  • Coding new features, fixing bugs, etc
  • Balancing/tweaking existing features
  • Testing new maps
  • Finishing training and adding it to the game
  • Perhaps streaming beta tests
The exact specifics will change from day to day.

Why I'm streaming:
  • I think it'll be enjoyable
  • To involve the community more in FF's development
  • To give you guys a behind-the-scenes look at FF's development
  • To get immediate feedback from the community on what I'm doing
  • To provide a direct route for suggesting features and maybe seeing them implemented/tested

I'll be doing a test run tonight at 7pm PST (in a few minutes). I hope you'll tune in.

The stream can be found at:

I'll be fixing a bug with the detpack that I created with my trigger_ff_clip stuff and then working on getting 2.42 ready tonight.

Yeah, boring stream today. Just me hunting around the source code trying to figure out how some VGUI stuff works and never actually figuring it out.

I'll do something Lua-related with training tomorrow and I'll try to figure this training VGUI stuff out off-stream tonight. Thanks again to everyone that watched. I played through a few stages of training towards the end if you want to check that out.

I think it's great that you are uploading these streams. It shows that you are working hard every day and that you care for us fans/gamers to know it. I wish I could watch it, but I'm usually away from my computer at around that time EST. However, don't stop because I think it's great and if I find myself able to watch it, I will.

Coolio I'm not up around that time EST though. Any ideas on if you could post a summary of what you worked on in a few days after, it'd be useful for those of us in the community that're in different time zones for it.

Just an idea, don't HAVE to do it.

He does in each of his posts plus Justin.tv records each of his streams and keeps them for 7 days. Might I suggest squeek making a youtube account for it and uploading them?

Smashing idea, that is. Although, I believe FF has an official YouTube page. I could be wrong about that, but I think we did.
