If you check the most recent pages, you will see that we have already answered the same question.  Also, the developers informed us in the latest episode that we won't have an episode 95 of V-log.  Anyway, the new episode of the V-log 95 will be posted next Friday.  Please be patient.

Actually, @DonCarnage is right. There's been a lot going on this week and the previous one, so we didn't want to add another layer.

 

On top of that, here's a little "behind the scenes" — setting stuff up for THE GAME, including writing announcements and programming them on the various platforms that we have, is a pretty involving task.

 

Just to give you an idea, we post announcement on the homepage, forum, facebook, Twitter, and in-game notifications. Here's how that works:

 

Each platform is on a different system, and requires a different variant of the announcement. Homepage and Forum are usually nearly identical. Facebook and in-game are similar to each other, but in-game needs to have a piece of HTML code inserted to make the link work. Twitter calls for a much shorter announcement due to restrictions.

 

Additionally, each of the platforms uses a completely different image size.

 

But then there's the REAL headache... the time zones.

• Homepage is in UTC
• Forum is in UTC
• Facebook is in whatever time zone you're in
• In-Game is in MSK time (UTC+3)
• For Twitter we use a scheduling system that's in UTC+2

With all these time zones, it's super easy to make a mistake, so we double check everything many many times, and even then, we STILL sometimes make mistakes. To add insult to injury, not all of the above platforms can be programmed. So sometimes we need to sit in the computer and wait for the exact second to press the "Publish" button, as was the case with THE GAME.

 

It's not difficult as such, just VERY time consuming, and sometimes VERY frustrating. Yesterday morning, I scheduled all of the posts for the TOF Dream Team tournament. It took me nearly half a day to program everything and make sure is in its proper place. By the end of the session, my brain felt like jelly.

 

On top of that, the V-LOG is one of those things that eats up a lot of time too. So we decided to skip the V-LOG even for the sake of our own sanity.

I like this MANAGER.
