Game development stages and what 20 - 30% means

I know he wants to "pickup the pace", but I've wanted them to take their time since the beginning. Them being however percent done does not bother me in the slightest. I'm actually kind of happy. I do not want to back a rushed game. Make it as good and as polished as they want it to be.

So far, so good. Yeah. But all these small events going around without the update on their official site makes me wonder sometimes. It would be nice to actually have the collected information, what we have learned these passed days written on bloodstaineds kickstarter forum. Including the Miriam t-shirt that soon will be on discount for backers.

So with that in mind, I figured, perhaps there are new theories or hints about the map. I actually found out the FAQ on kickstarter yesterday.. The question was answered there, somewhat.. I am pretty sure plenty of other things have been dismissed by me, so I will probably ask a few more dumb questions until I get answers hehe. Thanks for the theory!

1. "How big is the map?

Because you've reached the stretch goal for IGA's biggest castle, we're planning for a map that's bigger than any of the previous Igavania titles!"

2. "Will there be an inverted castle?

You’d really want us to spoil it for you? Even though Lord IGA knows the idea of an inverted castle stretch goal would bring in money, he’d rather keep that one as a question mark for now to value creative integrity, first."

Yeah I did, but that post is "old" now haha. But indeed, I am all over the place and I tend to forget. I have seen the update videos a few time and I forget the day after what questions were answered. This is why I never answer and just ask all the time.

I want to see more progress videos too, development stages being done. Perhaps post launch as something extra. Things that will happen after the game is released would benefit this community greatly.

As long as the game is made, I have no issue with a 20-30% "done", that number is a riddle since there are no real pattern. I wonder what they are actually finished with, if there is anything that are finished. Japanese dialogue? All the Sword-weapons (main, not user submitted) and so on.

It would also be cool to know what the first or last item for Miriam they made. Trivias like that is very nice, even though most people might not care about it. This is probably why I enjoy your threads too, since they are trivia-worthy if correct. And taking part of the community is an honor. Know the game is under development and you guys giving them feedback from your hearts and minds must be a huge impact for the development and community crew within.

With 20-30% done, what do we feel about the E3 event around the corner? Would it still be a trailer or a teaser together with a playable demo? A demo could be possible with that amount of procentage done, I do however feel that a chunk of data like that, being created just for a sake of an demo could take much of the developers time. I would rather enjoy a good trailer with less spoilers and more about what the game have to offer, perhaps we could grow and together enjoy the time here while waiting for the game to be released.

I am talking away here, off the grid. Time to sleep. Zzz

well, pick up the pace could literally just mean move from implementation to production on modules, having 1 person coding the weapon system using a hardcoded debug weapon is much slower than having 10 people populating and testing the weapon database using said weapon system once its in a workable state

its not rushing, its getting to where you can put more than a couple people on a single task without worrying about one persons code messing up anothers
