Completely we do. It’s tremendous uncommon to ship forward of schedule and we really don’t even need that – we wish to be on time in order that the advertising and marketing schedule goes to plan. As a substitute of ending early and happening trip, we often take that extra time to tackle and end out lower-priority duties. Any extra time within the schedule is the place we slot in duties like sharpening numerous facets of the sport, iterate and make issues extra enjoyable, sand among the rougher edges off, repair frustration factors, end extra content material, and so forth.
ALTAs I’ve talked about, there’s by no means any scarcity of labor to do on a sport venture. What gamers get once we ship a sport is what we had time within the schedule to complete. Any given dev process, large or small, has a precedence. The best precedence duties are probably the most vital to get completed and are all the time tackled first. Low precedence duties solely get consideration when all the upper precedence stuff has been completed or all greater precedence work is at present blocked. If we’re forward of schedule, meaning the excessive precedence stuff will get completed and we will both construct extra content material or we will polish the prevailing stuff with that additional time.
ALTI’m really doing this sort of stuff at work this week. I completed all my greater precedence duties for this milestone quicker than anticipated, so I’m utilizing this additional time so as to add some useful extra debugging instruments for others and sharpening the content material I’ve been engaged on. This could, in flip, empower different designers in a while to do their work quicker, resulting in much more time financial savings down the street.
