We recently shipped an update to Please Don’t Touch Anything for Meta Quest. It was initially supposed to be a few people working on it for a couple of weeks. After assessing the project, it ended up taking 5 months and 10 people to ensure that the game met the quality bar we were looking to achieve. That is really the key to development: you don’t know what you don’t know, and you have to assess the value of committing time and effort against the desired outcome.
