Das war das Problem mit der Nummerierung, dass da der Prozentfortschritt der Entwicklung abgelesen wurde. Die einzelnen Updates kann man aber schwer in dem Zusammenhang einordnen, deswegen nun eine fortlaufende Nummerierung.
Wir machen guten Fortschritt mit dem Spiel, haben nun die meisten technischen Tasks erledigt, aber müssen immer noch viel weiteren Inhalt ins Spiel packen. Das dauert, weil wir ein sehr kleines Team sind. Und es dauert leider länger als gedacht.
Tut mir leid. Es lag nicht in meiner Absicht, falsche Erwartungshaltung zu wecken.
