Valmora Poll #1 - Frequency of release

Hello everyone,

Since the pre-alpha was well received, we are considering releasing more preview builds.

So today we come to you to ask for an answer to the age-old question: how often should we release?

Let's keep it simple for now. In our opinion, there are two main options: short releases (every 1-2 months) and long releases (4-6 months).

Short releases: it's easier to see small changes rather than major developments, and you'd be able to see the implementation of certain things step by step. For example, a quest might evolve over the course of two or three versions, and you'd see it step by step.

Long releases: we're talking about big steps here; between one release and the next, entire quests could be added, or perhaps a fully implemented area without seeing its gradual evolution, but only fully inserted blocks.

Of course, we're still talking about progressive pre-alpha releases; we don't feel ready to release a playable public beta yet. So, these builds will still be available exclusively to backers. We'll be evaluating the survey results in a couple of weeks, so we'll talk about the results towards the end of the month.

Make your choice! If you have any other suggestions or just want to share your thoughts, please leave a comment!

Have a nice day,

The Iron Leaf Team

Is this a "no nut" November joke? ;)

At this point of development longer releases is my vote maybe after a year or so when things are different then you can do more shorter releases, but for now at this stage, long releases is the most logical approach
