1.14 Preview #3 | Times are changing
🕑 Added 2025-02-21 20:42:21 +0000 UTCHello again!
I wasn't planning on making these updates a weekly thing but there's been so much progress it's hard not to! This time we're looking at the work-in-progress redesign of the Time Tracker section.
Right now I find it can be very easy to get confused on there being three different places you can input Time Played (total time, per log, per session). I'm hoping the extra details and explicit options laid out on this new screen will help differentiate how these are added up.
Additionally I hope to use this opportunity to expand how time is tracked with the new finish and completion options. These will be more akin to tracking how long it takes to finish a game, HLTF if you will ;) Ideally this will be the first step to displaying how long it takes to finish a game!
I'm still experimenting on what else can be done with time tracking, especially as the editor grows I want to be cautious on adding too much at once. I'll also need to start seeing how some of these features will port to the other log editor views, especially since mobile has to work with a lot less space.
That's all for now, enjoy your weekend!
Best,
MrProg

Wonderful. Thanks for directly addressing this!

Personally, I'd love to have a timer in that screen. Currently I have to use the Clock App on my PC to even know what time to put in in the first place.
MrProg
Yes! This will not be taking away from any existing features or replacing them.

You could replace "Finish" with "Beaten", like how on RetroAchievements, you get a silver Beaten badge for unlocking certain achievements tied to story progression, as opposed as unlocking all the cheevos in the set would make it "Complete" or "Mastered"

Looks cool! As somebody who is less interested in time tracking and more just wants to log the dates I finished with games, will that still be an option?

An option that would complement all this very nicely would be the possibility of having “Sync session times” but for individual logs, facilitating the task of obtaining total times per log. Nice work
solocamp
Awesome stuff! I really love logging my time and this would be super helpful.

This is great!

Good callout! I think I'll try lining it up with the mastered wording that's used for 100%-ing on the site.

1.14 is looking stacked 👀

"Ideally this will be the first step to displaying how long it takes to finish a game" MAN that's my dream
Magnus
Acknowledging that this is WIP, just wanted to point out that "finish" and "complete" are synonyms, and since they're employed as such on the site right now, making them distinct would presumably cause some confusion

i'm genuinely hyped for this! can't wait for this to come out. (by the way i tried to write to you in the messages section of patreon!)
