- [17:29] <08Kirkq> Leaderboards timeline is not looking good; Maxx has been extremely busy IRL this week and hasn't really been available to make changes to the back end. I'm not terribly excited to update you guys with that.
- [17:30] <08Kirkq> Kiyura is going to work on some fixes tonight, but that's not going to put us terribly close to things being launchable
- [17:30] <08CVagts> is there anything tangible that we can show people on the 7th
- [17:30] <08Kirkq> I thought about that a bit
- [17:32] <08Kirkq> General statuses: The database admin interface is looking okay for what we need. The ability to modify the data should be there with minimal issue. We can manually insert things into the db mostly how we want to atm
- [17:33] <08Kirkq> the front end I think is put together to run very well for the functionality we need. It hasn't been styled yet, and the database interaction is definitely a giant hole in the system atm
- [17:34] <08Kirkq> If the accounts and runs could get to and from the database I'd say we would be doing well
- [17:34] <08Kirkq> but how much time that is going to take i don't know
- [17:35] * CrescentEXE has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 143 seconds)
- [17:35] <08Kirkq> so as far as showing things
- [17:35] <08GariPhone> in your estimation, how long do you foresee it taking to get something presentable
- [17:35] <08Kirkq> I mean that
- [17:36] <08Kirkq> that's the thing, is that it should take X days
- [17:36] <08Kirkq> where X is the number of hours devoted by a developer
- [17:36] <08Kirkq> which was far below par this last week
- [17:36] <08Kirkq> like realistically it should'v probably been very doable with the 7 day extension
- [17:37] <08Kirkq> if we had put in 5 days worth of work
- [17:39] <08Kirkq> I mean if maxx and kiyura could put in 15-20 hours a piece, it could probably get up and running pretty decently
- [17:41] <08Kirkq> which kiyura seems intent on putting in a pretty good number of hours in the next day or two
- [17:41] <08GariPhone> idk what the best solution would be
- [17:42] <08GariPhone> it would be nice to show "something" even if its not like a tangible alpha on the 7th
- [17:42] <08Kirkq> do you want us to get accounts up? lol
- [17:42] <08GariPhone> putting in that much time in like two days doesn't sound realistic
- [17:43] * vopeju has quit IRC (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
- [17:43] <08Kirkq> (oh hey somone finally removed the login bar at the top of the front page lol)
- [17:43] <08esi> that happened forever ago
- [17:43] <08Kirkq> :|
- [17:44] <08GariPhone> I don't want or need anything up tbh, it just sucks that time after time after time this happens with leaderboards, but what can you do
- [17:44] <08GariPhone> I understand
- [17:44] <08GariPhone> no blame being placed of anything silly like that
- [17:45] <08Kirkq> well it's free labor by people with real jobs
- [17:45] <08GariPhone> yes
- [17:45] <08jape> i think at this point its probably a good idea to not give any more deadlines
- [17:45] <08Kirkq> (and I'm going to point out that my contributions are pretty minimal in actual development, if I could help more I would)
- [17:45] <08jape> and just release alpha or beta or w/e when its done
- [17:45] <08GariPhone> which is why I don't think 15-20 hours a piece is realistic
- [17:46] <08CVagts> I agree with jape
- [17:46] <08bjw> yeah
- [17:46] <08GariPhone> real life comes first and anything that gets done is awesome
- [17:47] <08jape> twitter monsters and ppl are fgonna joke and talk shit regardless no point in adding stress w/ deadlines and promises
- [17:47] <08GariPhone> agreed
- [17:48] <08CVagts> so how do y'all think we should handle this setback
- [17:48] <08jape> tell the truth and let ppl cry about it
- [17:48] <08jape> literally anything is gonna be damage control
- [17:48] <08joe> tell everyone leaderboards is cancelled and then surprise them with it when its ready
- [17:48] <08joe> theyll be so hapy!!
- [17:49] <08esi> wish i could help but im going to be pretty busy :(
- [17:49] <08Goobi> tell them you want to save it for your favorite day of the year - 4/20
- [17:52] <08GariPhone> leaderboards is cancelled because of bad people who complain
