Why does ProMods not do fixed release intervals?

Hi,
because when we would give release dates and the map is not finished, people would start complaining (and release a unfinished version full of bugs).
So we release the next version of the map when it's ready.

Best regards,

unfinished version full of bugs
It is solved by feature freezes.

Modding doesn't work as simple as that.

Feature freezing one thing, may result in problems somewhere else. So we need to feature freeze that too.
Which may result in issues somewhere else, and so on.....

So no, we won't make a release schedule.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.

Besides, the intermediate releases (like 2.25 and 2.26) are related to patches or DLCs from SCS. This means that our release schedule is partially controlled by a third party.

Also, it's hard to put set release dates on a project that's basically run by volunteers where availabile work hours vary a lot. We do plan in feature freezes, but you can't plan for unexpected hard problems to pop up...

Don't ask us for a release date; we don't know either.
