I'm going to try using Trello to organize myself during LD42, and the preliminary schedule is starting to look interesting. Here's how it breaks down:
Last LD I had a total of 29 hours to work on my game, working around my regular schedule. This time around I'll have 23 hours keeping the same hours.
I'm going for three scheduling goals during this LD:
Spend at least 6 hours sleeping every night. This will give me about 12 hours of sleep total for the full 48 period.
- Day 1 looks like it will have about 9 hours of off-time for sleeping because I'll have house guests and they will of course want to sleep too. Unfortunately my work space also doubles as the extra sleeping space, so I'll have to work Remote Desktop from my laptop for a couple hours in the morning.
- This will not affect the 6 hours for Day 2.
Get to church Sunday morning. The way it works out I'll have about two hours in the morning on Day 3 and then three in the afternoon before Submission Hour starts.
Spend no longer than 40% of my time on graphics and polish. I want this entry to be feature/story rich, not just a game with nice graphics.
I'll also be spending a couple of hours with the guests (they are just passing through, so they'll be leaving the morning of Day 2), and of course, hydrating and trying very hard not to starve.
How will you break down your time (if it all)?
