Status update - 2018-03-26

It looks that I'm getting a hang of doing this.

What I recently did (not much due to the very late update last week):

Updating Trello

The Trello board is up to date. That means I added all the tasks I want to accomplish this week and move old ones away. I did not add tasks that I already did as this would take too much time that can be used for more programming. 

New platform management

I talked about the details enough before. So, I went and finalized it for each and every binary I build. I did a test run and it really is a big time saver. Several hours of git-branch management gone with all the errors it can bring. I'm so happy I finally took the time to take care of this!

Still working on "Better Sleep". 

Loading screens

You remember how everything stopped when you selected to play a session? Recently I added a fade to black, but that still is rather bad. I now made a proper loading screen which gets shown when entering or leaving a session. It has a small animated spiral as well to show that the program is still running. I think there's still a bug or two in there, but overall it works pretty nice already.

What I hope to accomplish this week:

Tracking

I need to make a concept of what and how I want to do tracking. I have no interest in your personal data. But I'd like to use the feature that's provided by Unity to improve the software. So I want to track all kinds of errors that might happen that don't crash the app. There is a good amount of safeguarding in the app already to prevent crashes, but that doesn't mean that everything works without problems under the hood. Using tracking I'd like to find out about these problems. I'm also thinking about simple usage statistics for the store content sessions. As said above, I have no interest in tracking your kink and won't do it.

Custom Play options

You want to play a session a specific amount of times? You want it to loop forever? You want to disable the in-session-menu? You'll be able to do these things.

Still got to put more work into "Better Sleep", i'm not yet happy with it enough to show it to anyone.

More Content

The second MindMassage, "Ready for the Day", needs to be made. If things go nice I'll be done by the end of the week with this one as well.

Settings: Preferred Spiral behavior

Depending on what hardware you use and personal preference, you might want to use the "spiral locked to head rotation" as a default. I want you to be able to change this in the settings and not have do the "Lock spiral" option in the in-session-menu every time.

And that's it for today. I'm looking forward to your comments.
