The tech update is indeed the first update were art wasn't the bottleneck. They simply missjudged the effort/time that was needed to recode and repose the game big time (or they did change their plans in the process, who knows?). But just because something is true now, doesn't mean it was true in the past. Art has been the bottleneck for years, which is why until now everybody but DC actually worked part time on the game. There was just no way that DC drawing assets could fully utilize a writer, coder and poser. That changed for now.Bad project management has plagued this game. But I also remember when the groupthink was "art is the bottleneck" and those of us pointing out out wasn't, it was project management, were shot down. This tech update has been a farce.
If you look at chestnut/magicnuts from WaL! it looks like one artist who creates decent assets technically just needs one other person to do everything else, as long as that person is actually the perfect fit.
Yes, though I have no idea to which degree that's actually the case, but it does look like the changes will be quite significant. DC actually wanted to change the whole UI, too, but it seems that has been postponed for now.Wasn't the whole game supposed to be recoded as well? So that there would be less bugs in the future and the technical work would go smoother if I remember right.
