More Websitey Stuff
Olli and Eye finished the first draft of Agaffa Chapter 6 last night. That brings us to the halfway point for what we're aiming for by the end of next week, which is just about right.
We also talked about how we were going to have the LOTR parody sketches and Agaffa accessible to both of us. One idea was for one of us to have a section of webspace where we could put all the 'shared' files, with a password, so that either of us could use FTP there. However, apparently Rydia (the webhost we'll probably be using) doesn't let you do that sort of thing. Also, there's the issue of consistency when it comes to webdesign. Both of our sites are going to be portfolios of our stuff, so if we want all of it to be under one design, the shared area wouldn't really work. In the end, we decided it would be best for both of us to have copies of the texts, put in our individual page templates.
With the LOTR parody sketches, because it's not really a collaborative effort (we both write sketches, but each sketch is written by one person or the other, not both of us), I assumed I'd be taking all of my sketches and putting them on Fat Man In Tweed, leaving Olli to do whatever he wanted with his own, but that might not be what's happening. It might be better to have them all in one place, but if we're both going to have copies anyway, I wonder if there's actually any point in us both having each other's.
I got my first bit of feedback for Release 1 of A Room Full Of Zombies from him last night. And that's only 'cos I downloaded it onto his laptop and started playing it. :P It kept him interested for around fifteen minutes, which isn't bad considering how little there is to it. He thinks he's roughly figured out the order you're supposed to kill the zombies in, but he hasn't.
Hm...this blog should really be more exciting. I think at the start of my next entry I'll roll in on a unicycle, playing the trumpet or something.
