Our Trello Board and some QAs
Added 2023-01-20 00:27:21 +0000 UTCHere is a sneak peek at our current state of progress via our Trello board.
Why do we have a Trello board for such a small project?
When two people collaborate, that counts as a team, so we started to do very loose team management to track our progress and get a glimpse of the progress of the whole chapter. Also, I don't think we should consider this project small anymore, based on the work we put in it.
What are the public release dates?
On January 23, the beta version will be made available to our Ranger-tier backers. The public release date is set for February 6th.
Why do we have self-imposed deadlines?
I have to admit that I was too optimistic about our deadline, and now I have to stretch my comfort zone to make it. Self-imposed deadlines help us stay on track and motivated to get the project done in a timely manner. During my time as a project manager, I learned that almost every artistic project fails because people naturally strive for perfection, even though no one could ever achieve it. This aspiration and the inner need to work on the details often derail the pace of the overall work. When there is a deadline, it is easier to say, "Okay, it's fine as it is."
The other reason is that I personally want to make the project predictable for our supporters. We release a chapter every three months, and we prefer to adjust the content to meet our deadlines rather than go through prolonged development cycles.
