It would be really helpful to get a sense of timing for phases for the Market and when we will be able to share content with ourselves.

If LWD would have funded in a way other than Kickstarter and if LWD would have refused to give estimates and ETAs from the beginning, there would be a lot less drama on these discussion boards.

When you are working in a project there are three ways you have 'control' over the outcome: Budget, Time and Quality.These are linked together. If you increase in one area the others have to compensate. So if I want a better quality I will have to increase time or budget. If budget is limited (as is the case with LWD, as they are a small company), time will be the one that will increase. If you determine that I want it next month I will have to increase either budget or decrease quality. LWD is a small company with a limited budget, so they cannot make much changes in that. With the kickstarter they had some extra budget and they did hire extra staff, but it is still limited in what they can do. So they can only work with time and quality. At the moment their main focus is quality. They wish to give us a tool that has a high standard of quality. This means that when they have a set back in the development they will have to increase time to maintain their level of quality. And since you cannot foresee all the set backs that occur they will not give us a fixed date. If they fix the date they will have to decrease quality to make the date if they experience set backs. So the choice is either a high quality product 'soon' or a mediocre or bad product on april 1st. Currently LWD choose for the first and to be honest I support that. |

I will snigger if the Content Market goes live before or on April 1st.
Regardless, you're absolutely correct, Cornelius, and I completely support LWD's unwavering stance on quality > time. Chief Calendar Champion Chemlak Join the unofficial Realm Works IRC channel! Join #realm-works |

The must definitely be getting close given the focus of the Spotlight Series. Maybe the Easter Bunny will have something special in his basket for us this year. RW Project: Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition homebrew world Other Tools: CampaignCartographer, Cityographer, Dungeonographer, Evernote |
