Weekly Status Report

A Quick Update on Our Progress

Hey everyone,

First off, thank you all so much for your incredible patience and support as we get patch v0.8 ready for you. If you've been following our weekly reports, you might have noticed our progress bar creeping up to 99.7%. We realized that if we hit you with a 99.8% update next week, a pitchfork deployment might be imminent.

The truth is, game development and final polishing rarely move in a straight line. The final fraction of development, bug fixes, performance optimization, and launch preparations is unpredictable. Measuring that last stretch in percentages just isn't accurate and leads to unnecessary frustration.

What's changing going forward?

Starting today, we're retiring percentage based progress tracking for this patch.

What's NOT changing: We are still keeping our weekly status reports

Every week, we'll continue to give you a full breakdown of what we accomplished, what bugs we fixed, and what features were finalized during the week. We're in the final stretch, and our primary goal is to deliver a smooth, high quality update. Thank you for sticking with us we can't wait to share more next week.
