but yeah, could you add more built pieces every week, no that's not something that would be, either like because adding anything to the game takes a lot of consideration it doesn't matter how big or small it is yeah, like so adding something every single week is is a lot of consideration and a lot of risk of, breaking the balance of things and then the second thing is how long can we keep that going forward yeah like after 10 weeks we're like oh I can't put any more shapes into the game or not not so much the process of just making a patch is quite significant like it's it's a lot of work just making a patch like if we just update translations for instance it there's still like takes like half a day to formulate that itself, and can still break things it can actually still break like the game so exactly and then it's like even something small like that you need to then go through testing on top of just the build yeah and then there's like okay then you have to upload it on steam and epic at the same time you have to make four patch notes because we post them everywhere, and they have different formatting and then there's like if something goes wrong in the bill then reverting all that stuff is such a pain in the ass so we're really careful when when we do make new patches that to make sure that we're not like breaking something on the way, and it's just too much effort it's just like it's part of maintaining the game that just takes a lot of time and like merging and getting the stuff that's supposed to be on the patch on the patch like it's just a lot of work
