So, a blog I’ve been reading recently, aterribleidea, has this nifty idea where he posts up updates on all his secret projects once a week. The theory is that if the shame of having to post that he’s made no progress should keep him from not making any progress.

Now, I don’t have any intention of publishing any of my stuff (primarily since all of it is based off of other licenses that I don’t have). But I do want to start making progress on some of them, and I’ve decided to lift his idea so that I can make sure I at least put a little bit of time into working on these projects every week. Hopefully, this doesn’t go the way of… a lot of my series.

None of my projects are actually secret, I think; I’ve written a post on all of them. Still, I’m going to give them codenames because being secret is awesome. If it turns out that giving them codenames somehow gives me the idea that I don’t need to actually do work on them since you don’t know what they are, then I’ll just put their real names out there.

1. Codename Charging Unicorn – Fleshed out the flavor of it a bit more, scribbled down some little fluff pieces. Overall, little progress made, but more in the past few days than in the past few weeks. I’m going to work on the mechanics next. This is what I like working on the most, although I’ve hit a road block.
2. Codename Backup Dancer – Yeah, nothing done on this in a while. This is the one I want done most, but that I want to work on least, as of this point.
3. Codename Atomica – Besides a name and a basic idea of how this is going to work, I’ve got nothing. I think aterribleidea referred to it as the “cocktail napkin” phase?
4. Codename Country Showdown – Just thought of this one. Came up with the idea yesterday, don’t know if it’s going anywhere.

Those are the only three projects I can think of now… I’ll probably remember more as time goes on.
