Are you planning on releasing stage 1 of LTU and then moving onto DMSI? Or doing the ENTIRE LTU first before moving onto DMSI? Because, based off your words of 3-4 weeks for LTU, I don't see how all of LTU can be done in such a time frame. Seems like it'd take like months or something, especially since it's now going to be a multi-stage.
Just wanted to hear about the process for that, thanks a lot Shannon.
The original idea was to build Stage 1 and then move to something else, and then I quickly realized that would not work. It may take me longer than a month to build whatever comes next. So I plan to build between 2 and all stages of LTUv6 before I move on. Most likely 2-3 and then I will move to something else.
DMSI is in place to be that something else. I'm really looking forward to seeing how some of the changes I'm going to make play out.
My original estimate that it would take 3-4 weeks was for script work. Not building. That estimate comes from the fact that nothing can be added in terms of new titles, so what can be done us upgrading the skeleton script and optimizing the existing titles. It may be that that estimate is too low. I don't know. Take it as a minimum. You know how these things tend to go by now.
I'll be working as quickly as possible, but as always, correctness is above speed.
Wow so UMS2 gets pushed back even further now ,now that,DMSI is NEXT...coming up?,.I thot that UMS2 was next after LTU,or even in between the other levels of LTU?....there was also mention if it came down to it , of 'round robin'ing the three or at least the two LTU & UMS2...guess we'll see what comes out in the wash ,as the ole saying goes....shrugs, shoulders.
The plan was always to build those three programs and find a balance between them. The decision was made that DMSI would be the second program built to balance things financially, and then I decided to build LTU6 first. That puts UMS last.
Round Robin isn't working recently... it would triple the amount of time it takes to accomplish anything, instead of really being helpful in the way I need.
There is no pleasing everyone right now, unfortunately, so I'm going to do what is the best way forward.
