Zurg used this thread as a running devlog for his cinematic campaign, posting progress percentages act by act.

Act One reached 100% after a week of bug fixing, and Act Two moved on to terrain and then triggers. Voice acting was planned for the very end, once all five acts were done.

The most useful part of the thread is an old argument every modder runs into: Krall urged releasing each act as soon as it was finished, to get feedback, build curiosity about the plot and attract talented helpers. Zurg preferred to wait and ship everything at once with voices, since a silent cut would feel like a beta. As a compromise he promised a trailer for every act and a small closed group of beta testers.
