Industry news remained unsettling, and the studio had frozen nonessential spending. The people testing the game had to choose how to conserve resources while keeping work moving. “Furnace” was still in its planned development process, with issues left to check.
The day was relatively calm, and “Furnace” went through QA as usual. During testing, one person suggested leaving details that did not affect the current checks for later; another insisted on dealing first with problems that interrupted play. The team discussed their relative weight and decided to make sure players could move smoothly through the part under review, while recording details that could wait.
Continuing QA kept the crisis news from consuming the entire development schedule, while the spending freeze made priorities in testing and fixes more important to explain. “Furnace” had not cleared every check. The team still had to return to its issue list; the work of making a game could not stop, but its effort had to be directed carefully.
