Damn you're persistent!

In hindsight, why did take so much longer than initially expected? Poor estimation of the initial target, or a large change from the initial target?

I think to be fair, a bunch of those insertions/deletions were from checking in node_modules early in the dev cycle. But the 5k commits is accurate :)

And for schedule, it was vast underestimation of the scope of a digital CCG combined with having day jobs => bad estimation and inconsistent hours.

Gave the tutorial a try and signed up.

We're huge fans of tactical strategy games here in the office, so I've shot the link around to get a few people up and running. Small game studio based out of Toronto here, so if you'd like some feedback from peers, let me know and I'd be happy to collect what feedback we can offer. :)

Congrats on launching!

Good work!

I tried out the tutorial and thought it was pretty good, but wanted more before signing up. I'd recommend putting in another larger battle where the tutorial ends, so I can get a feel for how the game plays.
