Concluding our “let’s-post-things-that-are-not-art” roulette, this week we’ll be showing you a small writing sampler as written by Mehkanik, Caprice’s route main writer.
… at least, that would have been the case had we started on time and weren’t in a hurry to finish and proofread it before our ‘holy’ weekly deadline. Which brings me to the actual main point of this post: we’re not going to do weekly updates anymore, for various reasons:
-
They have become a forced routine nobody really likes.
-
They take away time from precious development.
-
Expanding on point 1, sometimes it’s just hard to crank out a blog post, thinking what to write about this week. While we love to keep everyone updated, this is probably not the right way for us.
Blog posts should come intuitively, when you feel you actually have something to write about. It makes for far better blog posts and far less frustration on the team’s (our) side.
That said, the whole reason why we forced blog posts in the first place was to not end up in development hell. Which is why we’re obviously not abandoning blogging regularly entirely, we just feel like it’s better if we can actually blog when we have something interesting, new or fascinating to post. You’ll obviously also always can poke us on IRC (we’ve got a nifty menu button leading you directly to our channel), Twitter, Steam or what-have-you. We’ll likely respond with something useful. Probably.
Expect our next post to have some substance, and the actual writing sampler soon™.
