January 2017 preliminaries

Published on Monday, January 30, 2017 By Brad Wardell In Founders Starbase

Working on the January update.  Lots to talk about.  

Question:

On a scale from 1 to 10 where 10 is totally sanitized version (i.e. marketing friendly) and 1 = you get to hear arguments over which lighting model or details on cmake where do you guys fall on wanting to know stuff?

Don't just answer for yourself.  Answer based on what you think is best for the game.

Remember: Just because you might want to know the greatest depths, imagine how some people who have never been through a game project might react to seeing the sausage factory for what it is.

A couple months ago, for instance, there was an article about how Star Citizen is switching engines and people freaked out when in fact, it's common (we're not switching engines btw, it's just an example).  

There was a lot of discussion here whether to let you guys know about our internal debates on Super Melee for example.  

So again, what level of detail do you think is best for the game knowing it's going out only to Founders?
