#DesignDiary Day 664! Recorded footage and started scripting for the next video. It's an interesting script, though I'm not sure whether everyone will like it or if it'll work as I intend.

#DesignDiary Day 663! The Archetypes video has done very, very well, which is good - makes up for all the breaks and droughts I've had over the last few months. I'm also glad that everyone's having fun with the system, as I'm seeing a lot of people try to apply it to mods they like/contributed to.

#DesignDiary Day 662! Finally, finally managed to release this video, freeing me up to do other things again. I'm excited to return to my usual schedule, athough I am currently feeling quite ill.

I've played many SRB2 mods for this channel. Inevitably, you begin to see similarities between mods in a sample set this large, and I've used these similarities to construct seven character archetypes.

#DesignDiary Day 661! The next video is (finally) nearly done - only about a fortnight later than scheduled! If nothing else, having everything that could go wrong indeed go wrong in the span of one project has motivated me to follow better professional practices in the future.

#DesignDiary Day 660! The first pass edit is now finally done, for the most part at least, and I'm hopeful that I can lock in and get everything done tomorrow. That probably won't happen, but I really want to get it done by Monday.

#DesignDiary Day 659! Moving onto my laptop after a devastating crash on my PC has sped up work on the video, and I'm now 24 minutes into the first pass edit. Hope to finish that tomorrow, then I can hopefully release by Sunday evening.

#DesignDiary Day 658! 17 minutes into the next video, and completed a very successful stream, although I found out that my chat was so small as to be illegible - trying to fix that before tomorrow's stream.
I'm hoping to have the video out by the end of the week: we'll see if that comes to pass.

#DesignDiary Day 657! Hit the 12 minute mark after reinstalling JDownloader, which is already proving to be more reliable than youtube-dl ever was. Crashes are still common, but at least I can actually get the additional footage I need to continue my work.

#DesignDiary Day 656! Productive day everywhere outside of working on the next video. Progress is stalling due to Premiere crashing and youtube-dl not working - edited about 6-7 minutes, but could've done more.
Started work on the reshuffle, beginning with new overlays and thumbnails for streams.

#DesignDiary Day 655! The script is complete, and the unedited VO has come out to just over 30 minutes - a lengthy episode. We'll see how quickly editing comes along.
Today's stream was very successful! Long periods of high viewers (relatively speaking). Bodes well for the future.

#DesignDiary Day 654! Script is looking strong at 8 pages. There's still a little more to go, so I think my guess of nine pages will be about right.
I've been playing some Pokemon Red on emulator, and woof - the early-game grind to get ready for Brock is making me dream of the EXP Share.

#DesignDiary Day 653! Continued work on the script. I'm definitely at least halfway through at this point, currently sitting at six pages, but I can imagine it getting to around nine. Luckily, the video will most like be reused footage, which will save time in the editing process.

#DesignDiary Day 652! I'm making good progress on the next video's script. I'm about 35-50% of the way through it, and it currently comes out to four full pages, so it'll probably end up being a decent size.

#DesignDiary Day 650! I'm going to be able to begin work on videos tomorrow, and seeing as I've been working on ideas in my head the entirety of the time I've been away, scripting should hopefully be quick. I'll also be streaming on Friday!

#DesignDiary Day 649! My deadlined projects may have concluded earlier than expected. I can't say for certain if that is the case quite yet, but I'll know more conclusively tomorrow.

#DesignDiary Day 647! Deadlines are a nightmare, especailly when you have lots of them in a very short timeframe. Switching between projects a lot, and not particularly liking my work on any of them.

In today's episode of Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers, I took on the Power Cup! From the glimmering streets of the City of the Sin to the dingy depths of Pestilence, everybody was Super Sonic Racing, All Around the World.

#DesignDiary Day 643! Not much work on the next video, as youtube-dl was playing up and telling me all the videos I needed were "403: FORBIDDEN." Did manage to do some work on my 3D guy, though.
He's no longer half the man he wished to be!

#DesignDiary Day 642! Did a lot of work on outside projects, but I found time to record the commentary and begin the editing for the next video. I also set up RetroArch, and started messing around with a few emulators.
