A tale of two development approaches - "legs first" vs "space first"

I hope you will be here to apologise when it will happen as I will be if it doesn't.

I'll still be here [haha]

I'd also still like it to happen, just not convinced.

Regarding the OP, the ideal would be to get it all done before launch, pre-DLC style. As in the X4 and SC model. (Although I hear X4 needed more time in the oven, and we're all waiting to see what SC looks like when it hits its finishing line, with the possibility of premature MVP and/or Duke Nukem style over-reach still lurking in the wings).

The ED model of 'adding a game to your game' is fraught with difficulties, and it seems likely it'll arrive compromised and curtailed by decisions that have come before, regardless of their attempts to pre-empt it.

Will be interesting to see what we end up with though, either way

Looking at the recent developments, I expect when walking comes out in ED, it'll be achieved through a QWOP minigame.

Never heard of a QWOP game. Thanks for the link. I could get him to run.
