Pretty low bug queues, and most people have moved off to other projects? Dun dun dun.
So, does that mean then that Sega have basically stopped funding for AP as far as development costs goes?
I mean, aren't there areas that could be improved in that timespan like the graphics? Are they just fixing bugs that's it? Seems like a waste to me.
This sounds like another MOW - sits on shelf, publisher has no clue what to do with the game.
I read "design staff" as a qualifier, meaning people whose job it is to design characters, areas, quests, cinematics, etc. Their work is usually concentrated early on in a project (although, as I understand it, everyone pitches in "crunch time" situations). That doesn't mean the people whose job it is to focus on programming, art, gameplay, etc., aren't hard at work on refining AP.
Yeah, True. But what I read that I found worrying is the comment: ''most people have moved off to other projects'' Their seems to only be PR and marketing stuff left to do for the game and obvioulsy bug fixing. It doesn't appear there'll be any improvements to the core game for the 6 or so months it'll be delayed. Which I think is a shame. It looks like AP is sitting on a shelf somewhere, waiting to be released.
That doesn't sound too good, anyway you slice it.
