⬫ ┈┈┈ ⬫ ┈┈┈ ⬫ answering my own project cause i'm bored :thumbs-up: if you're interested in checking out any of the apps mentioned, they're all in my swc app directory here: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/34807797/ <3 ⬫ ┈┈┈ ⬫ ┈┈┈ ⬫ 1. the session that made you want to apply and why? march 2023! i joined in mar 2021 but didn't again until mar '23 cause school was crazy before i moved, but mar '23 was the session i was enthusiastic camper and genuinely looked up to my leaders so much, poetry coffeehouse my love <33 2. was your first app a co+leader app or co only? co+leader... and it just so happened to be the megasession too so i was honestly not upset at all i didn't get either xD 3. first app of yours? the awakening! well uh it sucks but i tried </3 that colour scheme is painful 4. most recent app of yours? daydream 5. app question that takes the least amount of time? i think this should be checkboxes for everyone but if you only count full written questions i'd say time dedication! 6. app question that takes the longest? i would say historically it's been one quality cause i can basically never settle on one :sob: 7. favourite app question? i don't really have one :,D i'd have to say though that (slightly ironic to what i just said) i largely prefer one quality over "why you?" or the new swc impact question just cause it's more specific- personal opinion xD 8. least favourite app question? experience... i get why but also i pretty much don't get anything new significantly to say every time so it's just really repetitive </3 9. app question with answers you find most fun to read? outside of offering i usually only read about me and speed through the rest :sob: adding onto that though, as a leader i usually value the time management/dedication questions the most when making a decision, then i'll also check atmosphere and cabin prefs if i need more filters <3 10. any specific habits on answering questions (order, time of session etc)? about me comes last all the time because i usually ramble for an entire paragraph about my app theme and i like to do that after i'm done the rest of the app xDD otherwise the order is really just which one i have the motivation to write... 11. app that took the least amount of time? constellations holds the record for four days start to finish and i have never ever beaten that (which is honestly a good thing...?) 12. app that took the most amount of time? i'd say chase my ideal just because some of it was originally supposed to be part of the previous app but i split it due to time constraints ^^;; 13. favourite app by another swc-er you’ve ever seen? ooo okay this is hard. but also not hard at all cause my top favourite app in the world is alana's naan-fi breadhouse app <33 14. how do you (usually) pick app themes? the more recent ones are basically just random bits of yume lore from different AUs... and whatever i'm currently obsessed with that i feel like putting in (like how i had two years worth of apps with some sort of pjsk inspo ;w;) sometimes it's based off a song, other times a concept that i like and resonate with (eg. the awakening or 9 skills of resilience) 15. an app of yours you wish you could’ve spent more time and effort on? dreamlike journey... i had such big aspirations for it that i look back on it and think i was seriously just being silly xD but it would've been cool jdfhjsdkfs (cont.)
(cont.) 16. have you ever made an app that has the same theme as the cabin you were looking to lead that session? (...very random but genuinely curious cause i’ve seen quite a few xD) not exactly...? the app that got me scifi time machine does have time travel but it's not the same story so xD 17. what are some things you do to counter motivation loss during app season (drop your tips and share with all of us please :pleading:)? i eat food. i sleep. 18. what are some app themes you’ve considered but didn’t end up going with? (doesn’t have to be this session only, any ideas for apps from past sessions is okay too!) i have so many. aikatsu stars wings of stars, tripleS secrethimitsubimil, sekai pt. 2 with the world links, tripleS anything else, loona app, iz*one app, airi commissions app, nabi app etc etc :pensive: these might end up existing as apps for smaller camps we'll see 19. what is the latest you’ve stayed up for anything leader apps (waiting for results, working on app late at night etc)? like 11pm to finish a part of daydream app art...? i like my sleep okay. i refuse to stay up for anything if i don't absolutely need to (plus i'm an est/edt-er anyways so deadline is 7/8pm xD) 20. if leader apps were a food, what food would it be? lasagna. it's good in small amounts but i can't eat it every day. also lasagna = swc in my brain so... 21. if your apps all had their own personalities, which one would you want to be friends with the most? daydream cause then she'd be like daydream the idol right :pleading: :pray: 22. adding on to previous question, is there an app you would probably want to avoid if they were sentient? i think i'd like to avoid dreamlike journey i am perfectly happy with the timeline i live in 23. words of advice to someone who’s thinking of making a swc app for the first time? honestly there's not much! be honest with your answers and literally just be yourself (eg. you don't have to be 100% professional with them if that's not how you usually write) <3 24. least favourite app you’ve made? honestly it might have to go to constellations just cause the interface looks really bad and can be hard to see </3 i love all my apps but i do value readability and for things to not break my eyes :,D 25. favourite app (or just the one you’re most proud of!) you’ve made and why? as i said, i really do love all of my apps but the key to our dreams still holds a special place in my heart, it was based off a song that helped me get through a rough time mentally and i still love it even though it's not the best looking one. (and honourable mention goes to daydream cause i cannot stress this enough but i love the app art waaaa-) 26. what is your favourite part about making an app? deciding on the aesthetic and overall design! ...and collecting a quote from my previous app to add to the yume app quote tradition. i don't even remember how it started don't ask me 27. any other fun facts about your app making process you’d like to share? yes and it's that my absolute LEAST favourite part of making an app is pasting my answers into the slides... </3 please tell me i'm not the only one :sob: 28. do you have plans to make more apps in the future? yup!! i'm definitely looking to apply at least next session, maybe up until high school graduation if i can, then i can't guarantee anything after that since i either get significantly busier or freer... next app i'm going for leader though i have this cabin idea that i NEED to exist like. right now :plead: 29. advertise one of your apps here ^^ xD uhhh (i'm indecisive :,D) okay but 9 skills of resilience was honestly peak go look at that ^^ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1115645833 30. tag some swc-ers that should definitely answer these questions as well! ...is it even fair for me to tag if i created the project xDD ⬫ ┈┈┈ ⬫ ┈┈┈ ⬫ credits ◦ thumbnail made by me on canva! ◦ questions written by me xD ◦ swc for being swc <33 a list of everyone who contributed to this camp up until now can be found here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/809038/?page=1#post-8423770 ⬫ ┈┈┈ ⬫ ┈┈┈ ⬫
