Completely we do. It’s tremendous uncommon to ship forward of schedule and we truly don’t even need that – we need to be on time in order that the advertising and marketing schedule goes to plan. As an alternative 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 sprucing varied facets of the sport, iterate and make issues extra enjoyable, sand a few of 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 undertaking. What gamers get after 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 essentially the most crucial to get performed and are at all times tackled first. Low precedence duties solely get consideration when all the upper precedence stuff has been completed or all increased precedence work is at the moment blocked. If we’re forward of schedule, which means the excessive precedence stuff will get completed and we will both construct extra content material or we will polish the present stuff with that further time.
ALTI’m truly doing this type of stuff at work this week. I completed all my increased precedence duties for this milestone quicker than anticipated, so I’m utilizing this further time so as to add some useful extra debugging instruments for others and sprucing the content material I’ve been engaged on. This could, in flip, empower different designers afterward to do their work quicker, resulting in much more time financial savings down the street.
