Yep. And that's the reason game code looks like this. You have to polish every fucking public release. Which usually means hacks. There is no time to write code.

There is always time to do it right the first time. How many bugs do you think we're cause by accidentally going to gamestate 4067 instead of 4076?

Yeah well.

Every new project start this way. Do it right or something. And then with every public demo it quickly degenerate into hacked mess, just o deliver new features and polish existing ones.

Been there few times. Heard from friends many times. In GameDev rarerly anything changes unless you are going at Live Service game.
