PROGRESS REPORT: Major Rewrite/Early Release

​​​Alright, I know many of you will be a little bit confused by the title. So let me explain.

I realized that the last major scene on Friday was a bust. I wrote myself into a corner, and the major challenge for these last 17 days since the last devlog was figuring out how to salvage it. Ultimately, after talking to a couple of my consultants (bless them, really), I decided to scrap the scene and replace it with a much more believable and true-to-form scene.

Here's the problem.

This new scene needs planning, writing, shooting, scoring, and bugtesting. I COULD push myself and try to whip a full scene out of my ass and get it done within a couple of days, but I'm also fairly certain that the quality of the scene would be far lower than if I wasn't rushing to get the build out.

That brings us to another issue.

Y'all have been waiting a while for the next build, and it's time to release new content. EVERYTHING before this scene is COMPLETELY done, and there are some HUGE story bits. This scene I'm about to rewrite basically gives us the excuse to move into the next story arc, and there are so many big story bits in this update so far that I could easily ship this update without this scene and Friday's Evening scene. So, I could ship you new content, and save this rewritten scene for the Saturday Sunday update.

I honestly think this is the best thing to do, that way y'all get a bunch of new content to go through. All I have to do is finish an H-scene and add some text conversations sprinkled throughout Thursday and Friday, and you'll have 2 more ingame days to play. It'll make the Saturday Sunday update heavier on content as well. So I'm gonna work on finishing the H-scene and text conversations over the next couple of days and polish/flesh things, and then start the release schedule! Get ready for the newest build of WCA!

See you on the other side!

I agree with Scott. I have never designed a game, I don't have that skill set, but it seems to me that bite-sized updates are better than trying to force yourself to create too much at once. Just a thought.

Honestly, that seems like the way to go. I myself am a patient man, easily capable of waiting for it all, but why not break it up a bit more, especially if it allows one Arc to end, and this will spell the beginning of a fresh one? Sounds like a good time to me, but that's just my humble opinion.
