This is a fun game I like to play. All you have to do is give me a random number, and you get the chance to win a sketch. Read on for full details before playing, please.
First: why do I do this? Well. I wanted to give some sketches to my supporters. But I can’t draw a sketch for EVERYONE. And I don’t want to pick some people but not others, since that would hurt people’s feelings and generally suck. Some people do those “first 5 commenters get a free pic” type contests to handle this issue, but I always thought those weren’t fair to people who live in other timezones and are almost always sleeping when I post things.
Soooo I thought of this game, where EVERYONE has the same chance to win. This is how it works!
I’m not promising super amazing art here, just a boring sketch. The image above is the sketch for a past winner. Your sketch will be about the same quality level — not too flashy. But hopefully still worth playing. :D
Okay, go!
Now Joyride is actually going to have an update schedule!
That schedule is
*drumroll*
Every Monday, and SOME (but not all) Thursdays.
Why “some?” Because I can’t quite commit to 2 times per week, every week, just yet. But I’ll try for that any week that it’s possible.
Later in the year, I hope to be able to make it a solid 2x per week, but I have a few other exciting projects I have to work on first (more on that soon!).
Until then, enjoy the real update schedule.
I’ve been ”experimenting” to see how small I can push the text before people begin to tell me they’re having a hard time reading it. Trying to fnd the sweet spot between readability and huge, covering-half-the-pageness.
I may have pushed it too far on pager 24… xD;
Well, please tell me if you can’t read something — gathering a consensus will help me to find the ideal text size.
I repaired a corrupted hard drive. I rescued data off of it. I got a new tablet. I got a new computer. I got and installed a new hard drive after I learned that the hard drive in my new computer was the same model as the one that caused all this trouble in the first place (RAGE >:O). I ventured into the different world of a totally new OS. I moved over and organized all my files and installed my programs. I got my tablet to work, and became acclimated to it, after no small amount of frustrating problems.
It hasn’t been easy @_@ But I did it! I’m happy! And today, Joyride finally resumes!
There’s going to be some (hopefully) interesting new additions soon, so please keep an eye out~
Got some wonderful things from my family for Christmas, but… a new desktop computer was not among those wonderful things. xD;
Luckily someone offered to give me one of their old computers, so I’m going to be getting that.
Only catch is that it needed an operating system… so I ordered one over the weekend, and I just got the shipping notice this morning.
As soon as that’s delivered, I’ll set up the “new” used computer, transfer over my files… and then I’ll be able to resume Joyride. :DDD I just hope the OS comes soon. :C
