You don't, you just release it as is and call it Early Access

Just make sure the ingame store is functional so you can sell more add-ons to your vaporware - star citizen is the most profitable video game to ever not be released.

Don’t forget to shut down your studio days later!

“Due the global economic circumstances, we were forced to make the incredibly tough decision to say good bye to one of our staff members, cutting down the work force by 100%”

Any resigning version of this?

This is why modding games is great. Most of the hard engine and framework stuff is already done for you, so you get to focus on content creation (the "fun" part).

Still difficult, but it requires a fraction of the time and effort that making a game from scratch would take.

weird. for me, the "hard engine and framework stuff" is the fun part, while the content creation is not boring, but just very hard for me :P

The third half is always the hardest

[-] Feidry@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The fourth half is pretty easy though.

[-] Opafi@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

That's only because the fifth half usually is as difficult as two halfs at once.

[-] sheepishly@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

Just release unfinished DLC for $35, release a "definitive version" even though that was only the first half of the DLC, release the even more unfinished second half of the DLC and still leave a bunch of shit from the base game unexplained. Yeah I'm still salty about something, how'd you know?

This sounds like Destiny but I'm not sure.

It's Pokemon

This is why you just change jobs every three years.
