Issues & Tasks

How we approach core objectives

In our first survey we asked the community what they think about addressing bugs that affect gameplay: More than 90% of players want bugs to be fixed. Based on this result and also our discussions and experiences in the developer team, we decided to tackle changes and fixes with the following approach:

  • Changes are created and tested in isolated development branches. If a change has severe controversial, but potentially positive effects on gameplay, then it will be reviewed and tweaked before it goes into the main branch.
  • Changes are merged into the main development branch, so they can be tested in a combined setting. No changes are cemented: Tests, reviews and tweaks may be necessary to adjust changes further to fit them together well. If a change causes negative consequences that cannot be tweaked in a satisfying way, then it may be reverted entirely to the original state.
  • Changes require input from players for accurate evaluation. Ideally changes are looked at in test environments and real matches to gather accurate data and impressions. It is worthwhile to know and consider which other controversial changes exist within the same game setting, as they can influence each other.
  • Changes may be subject to a matter of preference that require the community to give input on. In such cases we will include related questions in new surveys and evaluate and apply the results accordingly.
