Status Update 2021-06-04 (Patreon)

Yes I'm alive and kicking. I'm slowly reducing stress and coping with things. While productivity is good, social interaction is still something I shun away from. I'm not a very socially active person anyway, but I'm working to get back to a level where people don't start wondering if I still exist. 😬

What I'm working on:

Rebuild core mechanics

So far things are going good. I updated the project to Unity 2020.3 and removed all code and plugins I don't want. Okay, I removed nearly everthing to make things more clean. I am setting up the basic scenes again, that means the logo screen (which offers the choice of 2D/VR on Android/iOS), the hub, the session player. Recreating things lets me builöd things with all the features in mind I wanted to implement for years now and in a way this whole rewrite will result in a v2.0 of sorts.

I will post screenshots as soon as there's something to be seen. :)

What I am working on next:

Sessions on Discord

I'm planning to start live streaming on Discord on a regular basis. I am still working out the details, but I guess there will be AMA sessions, MMM streams of sessions, maybe live creation on new sessions. I'll probably do a poll for possible dates and which timezones you're all to find best times for this

I kept these next two because I can't yet give a more granular update of what's next

Rebuild core mechanics

Updating also means getting rid of really old code that keeps getting in the way when fixing bugs or adding features. There's a lot of things in there that isn't needed anymore or breaks with newer Unity functionalities. I hope to make things better, keeping new features in mind while also having more streamlined code.

SessionMaker Update

I need an editor that is able to edit sessions with multiple sessions. But also I want to make it usable directly from MMM, and that also means in VR. It will still be a 2D editor, also usable as standalone and free app. But I want users to be able to quickly jump into session making right there without leaving MMM or changing computers.

That's the status for today. As always, please get in touch with any questions or problems or comments/thoughts!
