What Happened to More Frequent Smaller Updates?

[Dragoon_103]

On the FAQ about the version plans. you guys said something along the lines that, "0.1.4 for this reason will likely not be 100% stable, but new patches will be quicker and smaller after this."

I am just wondering about this, is this still the idea of future updates, or are you just scraping this idea completely? Because the mod has not been updated for 4 months. Yes i understand that updating the mod to work with new ck versions are a pain, and that it all takes time, but in my personal preference, i would like it if you guys started releasing new updates in little chuncks at a time. Such as, when the new building system is complete, release an update with that in. When the new spell system is working, put that in its own update.

I am not trying to sound ungrateful and needy/privileged, but it would be nice if we could have more frequent smaller updates.

Our new update policy is to try to get new EK versions out right after CK2 patches, and with that, 1.5 should be just around the corner. I cannot say when it will be out, as the main factors in getting 1.5 out will involve smoothing out all the compatability issues between EK and RoI, and than finishing up the main things on the 'to do' list. Note that the Building System, Spell System, and everything else slated to be in 1.5 are mostly finished and are getting the final touches and last minute tweaks. On top of that, when we do sort out the compatability issues with RoI, it would be a good idea to test it internally for a couple of weeks to ensure that the mod is running smoothly. 1.4 was an excellent lesson in what can potentially happen when we rush out a build without testing it, and we were lucky to have found the problems with 1.4 quickly.

No need to fret, though, things are going fairly well, but it will take time to get everything sorted out. Minimum will likely be the end of the month, but there is a possibility of something coming up during testing that could delay it further.
