How long, Really?

[BJ]

Good morning everyone!

As someone already shared, we will have exciting news updates late next week! I know we've been really quiet as of late and there have certainly been delays but you'll have plenty of answers to your questions next week. Just a bit longer! Let's try to stay positive while the team is working hard to get your content market and other features out as soon as possible!

Thanks,
BJ

Ok, new to Realm Works here.. But I am a software developer. (I do not work for, know or ever even talked to any one at this company) I do custom databases. I have developing now for around a decade and my co-workers for about 70 years combined. I can tell you one thing, deadlines to release a product are the surest way to get a shitty product. It is impossible to predict when something will be ready. One glitch or unforeseen hurdle can set a project back weeks... Yes, its nice to guesstimate when the software will be ready, but if you hold a developer to that date you get what is ready at that time.

There is a maxim in software development.

The Triangle... There are three elements:
Speed
Cost
Quality

You get to pick two. You can have it Fast and cheap but Quality will lack.
You can have it Fast and High Quality but it will not be cheap.
or in this case....
You can have it Cheap and High Quality.

I can assure you, if I was designing this software for retail sales I would have probably started out around $400/license and am grateful they didn't.
So before we all call them a variety of names, realize that the product they put out is frigging incredible.... and they are actively seeking to improve it. and if you have programmed a line of code in your life you know what bitch it is to integrate new modules of code into an existing piece of software.
Finally, a friend of mine writes games (my first DM). He is a leader in the industry. He finally after years of development he finally said this about release dates.
"I will release it when its done."

So to the wizards at WolfLair, please continue on and keep up the great work. I was getting tired of DMing and about to toss it all in when I discovered your software and in the process rediscovered my campaign and have found it fun again. Thanks

I believe, for copyright reasons, Wolf Lair cannot answer to the name "wizards", much like Paizo cannot use the terms Illithid or Beholder.

Wizards would be an issue but wizards?
