I’m going to start experimenting with a modified schedule which distributes content more evenly and gives me more time to work on larger articles as well as on other things like catching up on uploading the current backlog of videos and improving the site. This week is going to be a little odd because I want to finish the In Extremis article today and the Three Ghostly Roses article from before the hiatus on Friday. However, here is my current plan for the new schedule:
Monday: Main article preview for Friday’s article
Tuesday: Stream
Wednesday: Short Article (player-created content, short games, demos, first impressions, etc)
Thursday: Stream
Friday: Main article
Saturday: Stream
Sunday: Miscellaneous Stuff
I might switch back to the current schedule in the future, but for now I’m happy with this one. The biggest change here is that instead of either two main articles or one main and two short articles each week, there is now one main and one short article each week. It’s a little less content, but it’s also a lot more consistent. Streams will still generally be at 8:30 P.M. EST, but they’ve changed from a Monday/Wednesday/Saturday schedule to a Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule, which feels more evenly spread out.
As for Sunday, this is sort of an ‘anything goes’ day. I might focus on getting videos uploaded or on updating Indie Overlook in some ways, I might decide to do a stream or write a short article, or I might simply take the day off to do things not related to Indie Overlook.
