Progress
How does the campaign progresses? I have certain way in which i do things or i might to them pretty much randomly. Note that the percentage is just a rough assumption. Generally, if the layout
is "locked", the campaign will have 60% done. After all the necessary optimizations are done along with panic events, it will be 80% done. After all the extra eyecandy is added and
it is approved my my own quality standards, it will reach 90%. After it is being properly tested with a group of people, it will hit 99% done and will stay like that. there is always something to be
enhanced, fixed or tuned.
However, i will aim for 2 releases only. Playtest beta which is as ready as it can be and the "final" release of the campaign. The playtest one should be the final version, unless anything major
comes up. Plans might change and if there is something to be fixed after the campaign is ready, i will fix it of course but i try to avoid too many releases. It confuses people and is pain
to download the new version all the time as the filesizes might be large. We will see how things go.
