No, it isn’t doable. The act of slicing content material requires that we not solely get rid of the slicing content material itself, but in addition want to scrub all present connections to that slicing content material in order that the sport doesn’t break as a consequence of lacking property. Which means re -administering the content material will later require that we create loads of new Connections to the sport in order that the content material connects with the most important complete that’s the recreation.

Think about that we determined to scale back stage 4 of our recreation. Along with eliminating stage 4, we now should ensure that nothing else within the recreation references Stage 4. This implies:

• Guarantee that finishing stage 3 takes the participant to stage 5 as an alternative of stage 4
• Any vital component of the mission that was alleged to be at stage 4 is redistributed at different ranges
• Any participant capacity obtained or tutorial that’s taught at stage 4 have to be redistributed to a different stage
• Any achievement that requires one thing unique to stage 4 is eradicated or redistributed
• Codex characters or entries launched at stage 4 are eradicated or redistributed
• … and so forth.

We’ve to make the remainder of the sport work with out referring to stage 4, as a result of it have to be as if stage 4 doesn’t exist.

Now think about that now we have launched the sport. The gamers are having fun with it. We determined to promote stage 4 to the gamers after launch as DLC. How would we try this? Nothing within the recreation refers or connects to stage 4 in any means. All the brand new content material of stage 4 has already been redistributed. We can not merely plug stage 4 once more to the sport because it was earlier than it was minimize. We would wish to construct loads of new Sport connections for stage 4 to make sense. There have to be a brand new means of letting the sport know when the participant should enter stage 4. There have to be some sort of latest rewards to finish stage 4. We might most likely should re -adjust the problem for the reason that stage 4 most likely might be not inserted between ranges 3 and 5 (particularly after the redistribution of all issues from stage 4 to different ranges), however be contained after the sport.

Clearly, there’s a vital growth work that have to be executed to take the outdated stage 4 and switch it into one thing that gamers wish to play after launch and be prepared to pay. Lower content material and add it once more later doesn’t work as a consequence of all of the work that was destined to get rid of that content material to start with. That’s the reason we usually minimize content material that isn’t vital and has the slightest common footprint within the recreation.
