double fine delivers the lolsquote:After crunching some numbers, Schafer and co found that Act 1 of the game wouldn’t be ready until July of next year, pushing the full game off into the distant reaches of 2015. That put them in a tough spot, as funds just didn’t allow for that kind of scope. Schafer claimed that, at this rate, they’d need to axe 75 percent of the game. Yikes. So here’s what he came up with instead: quality kickstartin'

crunching some numbers seems like a good thing to do before you make a kickstarter, but I dunno i'm probably not kickstarter executive material

i think one of the reasons the game got so big was because they had to keep adding features to the game as rewards for meeting price goals. so it seems pretty likely they could bite off more than they could chew i that process. of course everyone on kick starter has no idea what they're doing.

jony ive aces posted:idk making you click a link to load a second page to actually see the timetable seems like bad ux design i got a bus for the first time in ages and they had a qr code to do something similar but then you had to enter a code to see details for your stop which is a shame as if the qr code was stop-specific it would have been quite nice the sign itself is for that specific bus stop so its not a printing thing just nobody managing the QR codes properly

in brisbane the more important bus stops have led displays like that but it's not gps based so you'll see a bus tick down from "1 minute" to "due" to disappearing off the list then a few minutes later it will actually arrive

Boston has GPS on every bus and train sans the Green line. There's a bunch of apps that you can get that tell you when the next 3-4 bus/trains will arrive

instead of arrival/departure times id like a schedule for when a homeless guy is gonna drop a deuce in the bus stops. that would be way more helpful.
