Thread: Request: Visual Previews of Awaiting Release Items?

This is a little late, but - I do pick and choose which items to preview ahead of time and which ones to keep a secret until release day. Usually former is for QoL features and mechanical updates, primarily with the goal of indicating that I'm working on something that's been requested a lot.

For everything else, not showing previews lets me change plans if something doesn't work out in the course of producing it, or if I decide to swap stuff around based on what people seem to want more. It's what's most comfortable and takes a lot of pressure off of me (not making promises = no expectations when they're released)! I can tune how often I share previews based on knowing some people like the previews though.

Said previews usually go on the Discord #changelog-and-plans channel when they are available. I could also make a thread for them, but I can see myself forgetting it exists after like, 5 days haha.

@circlejourney That all makes sense! I originally posted this out of burning curiosity about some of the new items and such that were mentioned on the tracker (I still have some chickens whose appearances are in limbo until I see what pops up with the Chuffed genes, haha), but ultimately whatever works best for your workflow is best

@Waltz I appreciate the thoughts! Keeping them as surprises also partly comes from the assumption that people like those surprises.
