      • Visual Novel Devlog 3 - Storyentwicklung mit Dramaqueen

        In diesem Devlog erkläre ich, wie ich von meinen Notizen zu einem Plot, einer Outline und schließlich zum fertigen Skript komme. Mein wichtigstes Tool in diesem Teil der VN-Entwicklung ist Dramaqueen. DQ ist zwar genauso gut für die Romanerstellung geeignet, aber ihre Wurzeln hat sie in der Drehbuchentwicklung … und das passt ganz wunderbar.

        FĂĽr Romanautorinnen hat Evi hier mal ein Tutorial gebaut: https://youtu.be/hvgD6lDgBek

        P.S. Eigentlich wollte ich noch zeigen, wie ich den Schreibfehler Shrein in die korrekte Form Shrine/Schrein dokumentweit ueber die "Locations" berichtigen wollte. Habe ich vergessen … im nächsten Devlog.

      • Using rsync for backups, because it's not shiny and new

        You might not even like rsync. Yeah it's old. Yeah it's slow. But if you're working with Linux you're going to need to know it.

        In this video I walk through my favorite everyday flags for rsync.

        Here's a companion blog post, where I cover a bit more detail: https://vkc.sh/everyday-rsync

        Also, @BreadOnPenguins made an awesome rsync video and you should check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eifQI5uD6VQ

        Lastly, I left out all of the ssh setup stuff because I made a video about that and the blog post goes into a smidge more detail. If you want to see a video covering the basics of using SSH, I made one a few years ago and it's still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FKsdbjzBcc

        Chapters:

        1:18 Invoking rsync
        4:05 The --delete flag for rsync
        5:30 Compression flag: -z
        6:02 Using tmux and rsync together
        6:30 but Veronica... why not use (insert shiny object here)
