That Which Sleeps - Development Timeline

Another update that was missed while I was gone is for That Which Sleeps with information from developer King Dinosaur Games about the gamed development.

Development Timeline and Impact of Stretch Goals

With the technical specifications locked in for the new map structure and sufficient analysis done on the code to support our stretch goals we are now confident in setting a timeline for release to backers.  The overall delay will be three months for Beta, and an additional month for the full release to all backers.

December - Scenario VIewer release, New map complete, overhaul existing scenarios with new settings, map editor complete

March - Final testing, release Beta and Mod Tools to Beta Backers

May-June - Gods and Religions beta release and testing

June-July - Release  to all Backers

On seeing the success of the Kickstarter I had hoped we could keep the delays to only two months, but it turns out that would give us very little wiggle room in case of unexpected issues.  We came up with this timeline by ensuring all risks are understood and generating development hours based on prior experience.  After a final calculation I add +30% to the total time to account for potential overage.  We have confidence in the timeline presented and I do not believe their will be any additional delays.
