Our Update Schedule
Hello!
As we move past the two week mark of our launch, we've had a moment to breathe and we're taking a look at our processes. We've been moving rather quickly up until now, and our last couple of patches didn't get the level of testing and quality control we'd like. A couple of crashes that should've been caught weren't due to our desire to push out highly requested features as quickly as possible.
Thus, we're moving to a weekly schedule from this week onward. Currently, we plan on uploading new content and bug fixes every Friday. This will give us a couple of days to properly test and ensure obvious mistakes do not make it into the live build. While we cannot guarantee bug-free patches (obviously), this will drastically cut down the number of bugs that do make it in. It also allows us to have one chunky patch instead of 2 or 3 smaller ones through the week, and will hopefully mean you know when to expect something new instead of having to fire up the game or check out Discord or the Steam Forums to check out the Change Logs.
This week's patch is relatively smaller in terms of content of bug fixes as we've switched to this method halfway through the week, but next week onward you can expect far more. You can check out our Trello board here (https://trello.com/b/gEpOPQd6/miners-mettle-roadmap) for more info on what we're working on currently.
Thank you!
Edit: For when things do sneak through and we need to deploy a hotfix for it, we won't wait a week; we'll push the fix live as soon as we build and test it.
