Our Take: Schedule 1 Continues To Improve
TVGS Is Open To Fan Feedback
Schedule 1has attracted huge numbers of fans since its recent release, and it seems the game’s popularity will only continue to grow. Developer TVGS is taking fan feedback into account while managing the exceedingly popular game on his own without the assistance of a team, and his quick response to concerns, along with his detailed plan to test updates before a wide release, prove his willingness to evolve and improve the game.
Indie developers don’t always have the easiest time reaching players and responding to feedback, and a major update being dropped so early into a release proves that TVGS is dedicated to the improvement of this project. IfSchedule 1continues to improve with carefully crafted changes that are both fan-tested and fan-approved, there’s no doubt that it will continue to grow in popularity with every update.
