Early Access Time Windows

I just feel like, if it will be anything like this http://ozonex.pl/planetaryannihilation/ mixed with supreme commander or TA and some good online matching, I will be happy as ever

I kind of understand all the people who would want a release date. But since I work as a business programmer myself I completely understand Neutrino for not wanting to give a date.

Giving development estimates is pretty much like gazing into a crystal ball and making up numbers based on previous experience. And then managers will come bashing at you like: "hey, you said it will be done in 2 days and it has been already 4 days!"

Maybe we could try asking for an estimate sheet with optimistic/realistic/pessimistic figures but then they would spend time doing this instead of making the game. So I will happily live with the "it will be done when it is done" .

I'd like to see a checklist, in the backers forum. A locked thread.

That's all. Tension can build, excitement soar when things are checked off... etc.
