The goal is to make a good game, not good code behind it. Commercial successful and popular software has horrible code mess behind it more often then you think.

This is absolute bullshit. Horrible code means poor performance, trust me.

First, you make something work. Later, you optimize performance. Not other way around. Because if your feature is not working, performance is irrelevant. If your feature wins you the market you release new version with optimization and such. Many games release in Early Access now, because it allows to secure market share and continue development based on players experience.

Because there is no reason to optimize, let's say, polygon count on new Twigs model if as it's happened it's better just to drop new model to the trash bin and use old one again.

Reason to have script is providing equal game opportunity for everyone. Until quests in the game focused on Boss lasthits the script is needed. Don't pretend it's equal opportunities now. Just believe me, guy with Cursed Deadshot has it.

Without the script everyone has an equal opportunity as well. Landing the last hit is completely random. Adding a script will make this only worse as players with a Cursed Dead Shot can tell exactly when they should land the last shot.

I even asked you. Don't pretend script doesn't exist now. So Pandora's box is already opened, only way to have equal footing now - to have it opened for everyone. Rather change lasthit-orinted quest mechanic.


I don't answer other your points, because your views is completely opposite and it's more or less pointless to discuss it here. Here we're discussing Ken's wonderful idea.

Your arguments start to make less and less sense to me.

Why would a developer take an extra step to do the optimization after everything is done? A good coder will write efficient code nonetheless. I think we ran two tests in a closed environment before we merged the feature in development, so technically speaking it was working. I think you are smart enough to see that we do not have the capacity to have dedicated testing servers, nor do we have a system that would process generated testing data. Basically everything that ends up in the master branch will be tested by the players.

As for the health script. I have yet to see a screenshot where the bar is present. So unless someone can provide me with a PoC it will not be added. What does "I even asked you." refers to?
