158 - Upcoming schedule

[matt]

In this dev diary, I talk about the schedule we have until we release the final game.



Happy independence day if you celebrate that sort of thing!

Awww, someone didn't like "slacker backer"? Come on, that's just good old fun with alliteration! Double Fine used it too, if it's good enough for them it should be good enough for anyone

I can't speak for all backers, but I wouldn't think people would have a problem with a launch discount. It seems to be fairly common, Among the Sleep being a recent example; that was $20 for the non-early bird tier backers, and it had a discount on Steam at launch.

And releasing to all backers early sounds like a great idea to me. You probably planned to do this anyway, but you could also direct these people to the forums to post any bugs or issues so they could be fixed before official launch. Not like there will be many, if any at all, at that point

I dunno, I heard it 3rd hand from someone helping out with our PAX East booth. I don't know.

I do hope the backers will help find issues and post them on our forum or the Steam forum. I imagine I'll find out about any serious issues. We are hoping to get some crash reporting solutions in game, so we'll be able to track down crashes.
