New development cycle
You must be registered to see the links
Hello dear Patrons
as we had previously mentioned, we will begin a new development cycle where we will aim to deliver updates every 3 months. With the increased variations and the amount of branches that can happen a monthly cycle is no longer a viable option if we want to deliver a reasonable amount of content in the quality we are aiming for.
Now we will explain I detail how the update and release cycle for each support tier will work with this setup:
We currently have 4 levels:
- Intrepid Explorers
- Archeologists
- Apprentices
- Novice
Before the launch of the first beta, we will enter a testing phase where we will make the test version available for the
Intrepid Explorers. Our intention is for this level to become more integrated into our development process and also help us to test the update. Previously we did the first testing only within the dev team (which consumes more time with every release), now with the help of this level we will be able to find more errors and resolve them before the beta release.
The other levels continue with the same update logic as before, but we have made some small changes to improve what we offer in each level. The public update has changed its release period as well to align with the new development cycle.
Regarding information and transparency: We will always keep you informed of what is happening in the development process and we have expanded this information to lower levels as well. We also added a new way of communicating with the development team - an audio and video channel has been created in discord to which the
Archeologist and
Intrepid Explorer levels will have access. This channel will be used to broadcast live sessions when we are working on the game.
Note: It won't always be online because streaming consumes resources but I plan to do one streaming a week where you can see in real time how I work on the game.
The description of the Patreon levels now includes everything that each one can access.
Thank you all for your past, present and future support.
