I think this would be useful, also to talk about the gamedev process and how it differs from traditional development cycles.
It might also be worth going over what's been done so far again. I liked when Grummz pulled up a spreadsheet and went over the builds and the current progress, unfortunately I think there's been a big drop off since a bit after then (a good portion of which probably isn't the teams fault, shit happens).
I think this should go on Medium or elsewhere that can be linked to instead of hidden in a 2-3 hour long chief chat video.
The amount of time the project's taken is not just something that I've seen come up in this thread but also why some people I know have said they're not following the project and expect it to be another Star Citizen.
I have/are following some projects that have gone mostly silent for years before suddenly coming back and saying they nearly have something to release.
My major concern here is that Em-8ER is asking for money, and the success of the project partly depends on keeping the community happy, whether they are correct or not.
When Grummz was talking about bridging packs I was a bit concerned about timing. I don't think it's a good look to come back from community complaint about silence to ask for more money; however, it seems like they will be released a bit after getting back on track.
I remember people being excited for semi-regular builds around the time I joined, and I think a bunch of the concern from the existing community will be alleviated when the project manages to go back to that.
Generally not a fan of daily logins. In my experience it can lead to burnout.
While I dislike a lot of the FFXIV community, its mentor program is also worth looking at, which Grummz has and is also probably thinking about.
