Thanks again, German friend.
So let me get this straight. They have been operating this entire time - nearly ten years - without a finalized design doc and coordination system / functional hierarchy for writers? In addition to this, they have been operating under these same constraints without... a text/storyboard QA developer?
Do you realize how deadly these words would have been if they were spoken in any corporate environment? These are seriously concerning, project-killing statements.
Is this why there has been so much difficulty with maintaining a consistent direction with the plot and characters? In addition to this, their art team is... operating ahead of the writing team, and the plan is to do this ... consistently?
I sure hope that they are coordinating directly between departments in order to hammer out any difficulties with implementation that may have had a habit of arising. Maybe specifcally within this game. Maybe for a decade or so, I don't know.
My head hurts. I'm seriously going to need to go lay down.
