There are various factors, but the most important one is that I have been having a lot of forearm soreness recently, so I&#8217;m trying to let my hands rest. I readjusted my desk both at work and at home, and I&#8217;m stretching regularly over the course of the day. I think it&#8217;s working, and I plan to get back into serious development next week.<\/p>\n<p>To stay active, though, I have made a big push recently towards marketing and content. I posted\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamliquid.net\/forum\/viewmessage.php?topic_id=427400\">an official TeamLiquid thread for Spawning Tool<\/a>. It&#8217;s decayed a bit, and I&#8217;m not really sure what the proper etiquette is for appropriate bumping, but I guess I&#8217;ll learn soon.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also tweeting from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/spawningtool\">@spawningtool<\/a>. Again, I don&#8217;t really use my personal twitter account, so I&#8217;m not really sure what the proper etiquette is here, but I&#8217;ll try to avoid major gaffes. My plan is to regularly tweet interesting stats derived from replay data as a proof of concept for the site. Follow me on twitter if you&#8217;re interested in that.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the amazing development work by GGTracker, WCS has released all of <a href=\"http:\/\/wcs.battle.net\/sc2\/en\/articles\/wcs-now-supports-ggtracker-analytics-2\">their replays<\/a>, which are also <a href=\"http:\/\/spawningtool.com\/replays\/?tag=367\">available on Spawning Tool<\/a> for usual browsing purposes. Almost 1500 replays is a lot to work with, and it&#8217;s actually the first time I have seen replays from <a href=\"http:\/\/spawningtool.com\/replays\/?p=&amp;query=&amp;tag=367&amp;tag=399&amp;after_time=&amp;before_time=&amp;after_played_on=&amp;before_played_on=\">some<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/spawningtool.com\/replays\/?p=&amp;query=&amp;tag=367&amp;tag=394&amp;after_time=&amp;before_time=&amp;after_played_on=&amp;before_played_on=\">important<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/spawningtool.com\/replays\/?p=&amp;query=&amp;tag=367&amp;tag=428&amp;after_time=&amp;before_time=&amp;after_played_on=&amp;before_played_on=\">Korean<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/spawningtool.com\/replays\/?p=&amp;query=&amp;tag=367&amp;tag=389&amp;after_time=&amp;before_time=&amp;after_played_on=&amp;before_played_on=\">players<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, WCS season 3 has started, so <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/wcs_europe\">tune in<\/a> to that. I&#8217;m actually quite excited about it because Spawning Tool got a shoutout yesterday! I tweeted out that Targa has opened &#8220;3 Hatch before Pool&#8221; in 3 out of 7 games against &#8220;1 Gate Expand&#8221;s, and as you know, his RO32 opponent NaNiwa made the 1 Gate Expand popular. Kaelaris <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/wcs_europe\/c\/2865798?t=13m5s\">cited Spawning Tool<\/a>\u00a0in his cast when he mentioned this in game 1 as he and Apollo wondered what Targa would do&#8230; and then Targa put down a Spawning Pool first. Thankfully, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/wcs_europe\/c\/2865798?t=31m20s\">Targa went 3 Hatch before Pool in game 2<\/a>, so I was redeemed there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really excited about seeing Spawning Tool in the wild, so I hope you find it valuable too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick update on Spawning Tool progress.
