When on the weekend I will still do little updates, these will be no more than 5 lines or a list of action items I will do over the following week.
I've started a character a day art + writing challenge.
Every day I will learn something new in rust, bevy or functional programming.
I will create an input system that manages and displays script files.
create an example project and talk about the process in a dev log.
downloadable test build released by Wednesday 23rd - Friday 25th.
I have created a Trello and Itch.io page for builds. Although there isn't much on there right now you can read about the game and download the demos as it's being developed.
🔥Here's the Itch project page so you can follow builds, development of MCXStack and metachained project for creating shared worlds👀 https://nanon.itch.io/mcxstack
Participating in #bevyjam next week and implement a dialogue system over the next few weeks to create a visual novel for #nanoreno

Below is the development schedule.
Vertical Slice
Releasing an early demo to play testers is to showcase each of the games core features and aesthetics without the need to release a completed game. The idea is that the game should represent a finished product.
Weekly Sprints
Setting effective goals each sprint to allow positive and negative results to form early in the development pipeline. Sometimes tasks can take multiple weeks, in this case we should break up the task into smaller parts with the aim to complete at least one task per day.
Planning meeting
This is a session to review the development of the game and share ideas for the following sprint and is usually a longer session. This is a mandatory process as each team member will need to have a clear goal for what they want to achieve that sprint.
Daily stand up meeting
The team will meet every day to share what they have done and what they intend to do that day.
Review
Every week contributions will be reviewed based on playtesting and feedback. It is important to provide helpful feedback so that the team can make appropriate design choices.
Playable build
Every week a build of the game should be created and tested either on the last day of the week by the developers. Or every 2 weeks whenever there is a major update. This build of the game should be a vertical slice so that planning and related feedback can be actionable in the following sprint.
Public Testing
To maintain transparency and engagement with participants, a vertical slice should be released every 2 to 4 weeks. A playable version should be made available to the team every week.
Pre-Production
The early phase of development is a very creative process and it includes building tools or artistic concepts that will help speed up development later in development. It is worth mentioning that all suggested ideas, concepts and development will count towards their contributions.
Production
At this stage of development the design should be clear and the team will have decided to make cuts in the pre-production stage.
Post-Production
This will usually focus on quality of life changes, fixing bugs, implementing sound and improving the feel of the game before an upcoming deadline. It is important to pay attention to the things that are working and the things that aren’t as some cuts will still need to be made.
Marketing material and press release will also need to be prepared ahead of schedule to ensure the game is ready for release.
Preface
MCXStack is a development library and API for player-driven real-time virtual worlds and creation of shared worlds on blockchain, a constantly evolving, dynamic and fun investment platform built for testing and deployment of maps, characters, stories and interactive narrative game worlds. It is maintained and built in the Rust programming language. Extensible with the Bevy Game Engine and Web Assembly GUI and optimized for portability, immutability and blockchain development.
Metachained Shards ($MCXS) is the universal currency for Metachained Stack development. It will be made available upon further testing. You can find out more at: What is Metachained Game Studio? and learn more about the ecosystem at Web Development in Django.
Purpose
Developing an application workflow for a smarter autonomous virtual economy.
