Timeline

This is a quick history about the on-going development of this site. This is by no means a definitive timeline, but I thought it would be nice to mark both trivial and major milestones. I suppose it’s proof that with enough time, effort, and dedication, you can bring daydreams closer to the realm of reality.

• SEPTEMBER 2020: The Game Optician website has been created, though no significant progress has been made, aside from reviewing games in private and for fun.

• 

  JUNE 2021: The Game Optician website, along with related Steam profiles, have been initiated and actively developed in hopes for a September 2021 Release Date. Below is a gallery of icons used for various review and blog post types at this time.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• AUGUST 2021: The website’s design and content has been mostly established. A few guidelines have been made to ease the workload and streamline the first few months after launch:
  
  1.) A focus on reviews over blog posts
  2.) A focus on the website and Steam Curator over Twitter
  3.) A biweekly update schedule between The Game Optician and The Entertainment Optician

• SEPTEMBER 9, 2021: The Game Optician goes public, along with The Entertainment Optician! This marks the official launch of these websites, and the start of something (hopefully) worthwhile!
  
  SEPTEMBER 25, 2021: In conflict with college workload, The Game Optician reconfigures its guidelines:
  
  1.) A focus on blog posts over reviews
  2.) A focus on the website and Steam Curator over Twitter
  3.) A guarantee of at least one update every two weeks, between The Game Optician and The Entertainment Optician

• NOVEMBER 27, 2021: The Game Optician and The Entertainment Optician see temporary changes for the time being:
  
  1.) Biweekly updates are no longer guaranteed; game reviews and updates to the tierlist will come at a slower pace
  2.) Twitter is entirely removed; there is a lack of motivation to uphold such an account compared to my enthusiasm with a website
  
  The websites can find a full functioning return perhaps in 2022. For now, it’s in a limited phase.

• FEBRUARY 10, 2022: The tierlist, and all its content, is currently being transferred to Backloggd, an online website made for this kind of game-gathering organization. This will hopefully allow reviews to be more manageable for myself and accessible for others to see! The WIP account can be found here.
