Cydonian Monk Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Bravo. Well deserved. Jolly good. I do wonder if this means Emiko will stay stickied until the next Thread of the Year...?

TheEpicSquared Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 @Just Jim The views on this thread will skyrocket (pun intended) if this gets stickied until December 2017. That, of course, is a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, of course, is a good thing I pm'd @sal_vager and asked, and it will probably stickied just for January, which is fine with me. Everyone knows where it is anyway. As for the view count, I'm not sure it can get much faster. Right now, on average, I'm getting between 500-1000 views a day... usually around 600-700, and peaking around 1000 for a day or two right after a new chapter... which is pretty staggering to me. So if being at the top for a while gets some new people interested, that's really cool. But I don't need it stickied all year, I'm getting more than enough views anyway. Let the TOTM's, especially if they're new writers, have it so they can generate some new readers. 3 hours ago, DualDesertEagle said: Are u really THAT surprised about ur thread being awarded?

But more than that... I hate to admit it, but I hadn't really been keeping up. And I didn't know they were even considering starting a thread of the year. So when it did happen, it was a complete surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Happy Holiday everyone!!! Just a quick update. I had some free time yesterday and finally updated to version 1.2.2, and it looks like everything survived! I need to double check, but I still have the right number of personnel, and it looks like all my ships are still where they're supposed to be. So I'm going to try and squeeze in one more chapter before new years. And for the new year I'm seriously looking at adding a couple more really nice mods. Actually I think there were 6... maybe 8??? Not sure. All because of one part... lol. One part I absolutely had to have the second I saw it. The rest was just really yummy icing on the cake.

And I've gone way overboard with other games, the Sims2 most of all. I went really nuts downloading all sorts of extra stuff for that one... a lot of which is making the Emiko backstory possible. But this time I have to weigh each new mod against the Emiko Station story line. I can't just throw a bunch of new stuff into the game without some sort of explanation or backstory, or it would just look weird. In fact, without giving it all away, much of the next chapter will revolve around the mods I've just added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsii1970 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Wow, I just don't do that... the way I figure, as the game progresses there will be development of "new technologies." In fact, there's one I am planning to introduce within the next chapter... I've actually toyed around with an idea of listing the mods I do use for Kerny's Journal, but am not sure I want to put it in as a post or just maybe make it a status update.

Just Jim Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Wow... today was interesting. I got a lot of the screenshots done, only to realize Emiko Station itself was missing!!! Apparently it was the only thing to not survive me updating yesterday. Bit I'm starting to understand how the persistent file works, and I was eventually able to copy and paste the actual Emiko Station from one of the backups into my updated career. Took me a few attempts to get it right, but it finally showed back up where it belongs. whew.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
