Weekly Update – Lessons Learned from Chapter 2.5
🕑 Added 2021-07-26 17:45:03 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
I hope you’re enjoying the patron release of Chapter 2.5. I celebrated the release of the latest version by taking a few days off and reflecting on how the last six month have gone.
One of the most obvious lessons I′ve learned was that I have to drastically reduce the size of my updates. I think with the new fourth map being available I have a really large playing field to fill with content as well as interesting mechanics. And with this comfortable playing field I have to remind myself from time to time not to pack too much into a single release.
For some large features or storylines, it’s ok not to finish them within a single update cycle. To give you an example: The image gallery in 2.5 was much more work than I initially anticipated – if I would have stopped with it as soon as I noticed this, the release would have probably been shipped one or two months earlier. And the same goes with a few other features and events.
This means that you can expect smaller, but more regular and consistent updates in the future – at least if I manage to keep to my plan.
I am currently sketching out a rough timeline for the next releases and will keep you updated once I have more to tell you about the contents of Chapter 2.6.
In the meantime: Happy playing.

I understood the train of your thoughts and probably this is the right decision to make updates more often, but less. I'm glad that during your break you thought and made some useful conclusions.
