Always nice with information! Many thanks.
That said though, I think what Xarg suggested was not some jab at the workflow for assets etc. Rather a suggestion that smaller updates with little content could help keep interest up. Anyone with a smartphone should know the kind of updates I think he is referring to. You know the ones that say "Fixed [specific bug X]". Basically just taking what one have finished and push it out as an update regardless of how "little" it is. Maybe the only thing fixed in an update is the range on pulse lasers so text match the actual range? Maybe the only fix is a text fix to one asset variant? Such would be enough to keep interest up I believe, in that people feel progress.
Of course that suggestion is made with little knowledge of the internal process (bit more knowledge now though thanks to KingLeer) and if the time it takes to make a beta-build is considerable, then of course such smaller updates become costly and possibly not worth the effort it takes to make them. Anyhow, I think that was what Xarg was talking about, not necessarily talking about new assets and content like that.
/Merf - Would agree in the thought that frequent small updates would help to keep interest up.
