An Argument for Procrastination

Well, that was an awful release.

I enjoyed the fact that a pre-release of a new version of Ren'Py came 4 days after the game's release to fix the false positive in the 32bit executables. In a very real sense things might have been better if I had been lazier, so I think the lesson here is to procrastinate more often. Also to put freshly compiled executables through online virus scans whenever the engine updates.

For the following days or weeks, I'll just dilly dally adding content, which I can easily cut at any point, until the new version of the engine is up. Then I'll make double sure nothing funny is going on this time and upload another release with proper 32bit compatibility.

This will also give me time to perhaps reconsider the way in which I've been approaching development and keep me from disappointing myself again in the future. To be completely honest, I wrote a long, ranting post about this, but then I realized that was just the monkey portion of my brain speaking, so I pressed delete and wrote this quaint little post instead.
