Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Rossignol17]

In the past, that would have been what it meant.  This time, I just want to prevent people from buying DMSI too close to the release.  We still have a ways to go.  Like most of the ways to go.  As in, because I have to build three things at a time all the time (DMSI, something to sell and LTUv6 stages)... more than a month left in development.

But in good news... I am almost half way done building LTU v6 Stage 3.  That accomplished, I will be free for a whole two weeks to work on just DMSI!

I am never doing this this way again.

OOF.

Giant tease, bah. Too good to be true I suppose!

Seems like with this LTU being placed ahead of DMSI in creation, DMSI probably won't be released for a few months. Since you'd soon have to start on stage 4 after a week or two on DMSI. So not much time to work on it. It's probably going to take until LTU is finally out of the way maybe.

That's why I was so shocked and pleasantly surprised when I noticed about the sales page. Oh well, that was a fun few minutes before going back to a crappy 2020 reality. Lol...

that is why, I never plan ahead with unreleased programs. I'm currently on OF which is a 8 months commitment...

If stars are aligned... DMSI might be released around the time I finish OF...

Yeah I'm on it too. Was just shocked to see the page gone, which usually means an imminent release.

I think he said before he'd have time to work on it, but then something happened or something I suppose because obviously it isn't released. Now he's focusing on stage 3, oh well. Stage 4 will need focus soon after to keep the pace. So that's why I figured he's just going to keep pushing it back. So the sales page was a surprise discovery.

Hope you have a good run man, all the best.

I made a number of mistakes.  The first was telling you guys what I'm working on, which is why after UMS2, that will not happen anymore.  That results in too many people all wanting something built at the same time.

The second was severely underestimating how difficult it is to build Platinum Lake without a script manager program, which I can't build because I have to build the programs it would be used for, and because there are a couple other issues that prevent me from just hiring someone to do it.  Platinum Lake is a BEAST to build.

The third was to design six stage sets in 5.75G.  While necessary, it's murder on me to build such programs without the script manager to help.  I just recently figured out how to kill procrastination and distraction, more than doubled my productivity overnight, and even working myself to exhaustion each day with this it takes me 4 days of work to take a finished script to a single finished subliminal.

And last but not least was to try to work on more than one thing at a time, especially when LTUv6 wasn't finished.  

I am going to do my best to get DMSI finished in October.  2-3 weeks may be enough to do that, using this new motivation and productivity method I'm using.  But of course at the same time, I have to make things to sell and make the rest of LTUv6.

So just be patient.  I am literally running at as close to 100% productivity as I can get.  I skipped my last break so I could work on Stage 3 right after finishing E4.  It will get done as soon as I can possibly do it.

I know all you MEN are looking forward to the next DMSI but I am really excited about the new USLM..........hopefully coming out in October as well. I did not achieve my goal that I set for this most recent re-run of USLM3, but I did have a few lucky financial windfalls. If the new developments are as good as Shannon is predicting, I am SURE I will reach my goal with the new version.
