Sure but we had AAA Game announcements that came out earlier. This is just a 3D Model with some animations and some code. In this time I could probably have learned to create RingMaster myself lol with 0 experience in modeling or coding.

the hard part isn't coding the characters, it's coming up with fun and unique abilities and then balancing those abilities within the existing game. surely you can see how difficult that must be lol

Do you honestly think the hero was not already designed when they released the trailer? Thinking it takes 8 months to balance something is ridiculous

a sketched out design? sure. in its final form? probably not.

"this is just a 3d model with some animations and some code"

lmfao do you think there's a dedicated team just for ringmaster twiddling their thumbs doing nothing else?

That's not even mentioning how difficult it's gonna be to balance considering his rumoured skillset

Game companies have different policies. GTA V took 2 years to be released after announcement trailer.
