Episode 2 Release Timeline...more information
Added 2020-07-01 16:09:37 +0000 UTCHi all,
I've just released the test version of 0.2 to the testing tier so I am hoping they all download it and give me some great feedback to help make it even better! I am going to REST a little today because I realized I did over 250+ renders in literally only about two weeks or so and went pretty hard! My poor computer hates me. My tan too. (none left)
Expect me to work very hard and fast on any little changes they might find so I can get it out to you ASAP. After that, I will finally offload my brain for a few days!
I wanted to address something I also learned about timelines and predicting new updates/goals. I think doing two months was ok, but I think I will have to tweak estimates based on the size of the update. For example, 450-500 renders I think two months was fine, but having to hit 650 renders in two months might be very difficult for me if I can't get a big break like I did these past two weeks, and with my business, that's not a sure thing. So I would probably want to tweak my estimates based on a scale of the size of the update. For example, 450-500 renders I would aim 8, maybe 9 weeks at the most, but a 700 render update I would think is unreasonable for me to do that in the same time span.
I'd really like feedback on whether this all makes sense to you, and also, whether it's better to just crank out smaller updates like 400-500 renders or so, or take a little more time to do larger ones? I don't mind either way to be honest, I just went a little larger this time because of the natural flow of where I wanted to go, etc.
Anyway, sorry for rambling, I think my brain is officially mush right now, I worked really hard to finish this, haha! Thanks all!

Thanks, I am leaning that way too! I think if I am always clear with what I am doing, hopefully everyone can understand ok with each episode! My biggest focus over all has been communicating what I can, because BY FAR for me the reason I have stopped supporting games was almost never the game, but usually lack of communication/no updates. I have fluctuated between 4-10 games on this site with support, so that is my personal experience. Hope you enjoy Ep 2!

2020-07-02 16:14:12 +0000 UTCThat is where I am leaning right now, just updating well and seeing where an end makes sense. Stick to between 400-700 renders or so each update if possible.

I'd agree with FemmeFaraleDi and say you should base the update on whatever you feel is right in terms of story progression and where to stop. I don't mind at all if the time it takes for each update fluctuates a little because some need a little more pictures to convey than others, especially when you're doing such a great job of communicating your progress. Man, I'm excited to see episode 2, btw!
