I’ll pop this info into the timeline, and then we will make it a little more interesting and I’ll try to use OBS to record the project so we can publish some videos of how it’s going beginning to end. As fun as the 6 week deadline would be, I can’t stress my brain like that so no deadline, but I’ll post each week in a blog how we did. Also there are two of us, my partner is also a developer and is going to be helping with the tasks and our child is an artist building her art portfolio and might be interested in helping. So that might reduce some of the load and time needed to finish the project.
This is also not the only project in the works, so….. again probably not 6 weeks. I just want to track our time and see if the time estimates from ChatGpt play out against reality.
So to start out the idea of tracking time. This page, and the ChatGpt interactions has taken 2 hours to get to a viable plan. Which isn’t too bad, usually that takes me about 4 to 5 hours, but it’s also not as detailed as I like to get. I like to do my plans by hand in a notebook, and write out ever node that needs to be created and it’s basic settings or style needs, so that I can be consistent in my visuals, but also so I can use star stickers to mark when I finish things. Makes my little kid brain very happy, star stickers…
