Hello, greatly desire suggest doing a progress bar to know when this made the game. Here a photo of the idea:
I actually love this idea. Rather than having a ton of people asking, "When will the game be done?" they can just look at the progress bar. The one you made seems too precise though. It might be easier to make a bar in increments of 10, like 30% to 40%. That way, they wouldn't have to calculate exactly how close they are to completion.
oh yeah! i love this idea but i'm not sure if the dev's actually know what percentage they have done progresswise. they might have something like a to-do-list but even when they work through every point they cant say how big every single one of them is from the whole project. or one day they might have the progress bar at about 80% and then suddenly there is a new great idea they didn't mind before and the bar would have to be "reset-ed" to 70% or so. (i have no idea if anybody can follow this, sorry ) so i think this bar is a bit too complicated to realise, but some kind of more detailed progress update would be nice though
To make a bar like this one must have the ability to look into the future. It's hard to be correct with these kind of things.
Estimations are a brilliant way around not knowing all the details. We already have an estimation of where we are in terms of development. There's massive development going on, but alot has taken shape. Remember they're aiming to release befroe 2014, and there's already a couple of years of development under their belt. Its a fair guess that the game is in late alpha.
Hati bumped! Anyway, I would like to see this, since everyone is asking "when? when? when?", they could just make one an not update it
gabester you can do this and just put it at around 60% regardless of what is happening It might quiet some people from asking stupid things.
It'll quiet down for probably 1-2 months, then when they see no progress has been updated they'll be right back up to where they were, asking questions. Better alternatives to be doing.
