How to Code Faster

[Adrija]

@EpisodeNaddy

What do you do first and what do you do last? (example: dialogue then coding, coding then dialogue, going back to add music and fix speechbubbles, etc.)

I usually start by placing the characters screen center or left/right and adding their dialogues. Then I spot direct them. But I can’t really say what I do first because sometimes I code the scene first and then add the dialogues and all while other times I simply write all the dialogues in one place and then code it.

@EpisodeNaddy

How do you stay concentrated and focused?

Lol. Idrk! But I’m really passionate about my stories. Yeah I still have writer’s block and sometimes don’t code a single thing for 2-3 days but I’ve noticed that it happens because I get too tired because of real life or am in a crappy mood.

@EpisodeNaddy

Are there some certain types of scenes that you used to code slower but now code much faster (example: packed ballroom scenes, school hallways, or maybe some other scene that requires a lot of time but doesn’t necessarily need a lot of background characters)? Were there any methods of which got you to do it more quickly?

I’m new to coding. So I can’t really answer that because then I’ll have to say I’m faster at coding everything

@EpisodeNaddy

How do you keep your sanity? (this is a serious question, LOL)

LOL. I usually take breaks or visit the forums. It’s really refreshing! Also I play Episode stories to clear my head.
