Game Development: Salem & Haven

[Oddity]

Charterstones will return in H&H: Oddity's Server Emulator Edition (playable-ish by 2014?).

I think H&H pop would easily double with a couple of bug nerfs and a world reset.

Maybe that will enlighten their heads and they will see that HnH is far better than salem, and that they should return to HnH.

While I only play H&H and I do wish the devs would come back and work on it, I don't think they need any 'enlightening' so to speak. I'm sure they think fondly of this game, and they also know that as it stands, H&H is a superior gaming experience. That doesn't make their current project any less meaningful for them. You don't just go and drop a project because everything doesn't turn out perfect/on time/compare with X from the past.

It will be if they make it have HnH graphics, or if salem graphics stop looking so dull. But HnH will always be better.

What does this mean for Haven?

Absolutely nothing. Development on Haven has continued, continues and will continue as per usual, although with the less than weekly updates that you have witnessed for the past four months or so. As soon as Salem is released, we intend to bring the development of Haven back up to normal speed.

Haven't seen any of this tbh

Well, not really development as I thought he meant by that. But yes, I guess you can say that's development...
Also, this world exists for 1.5 years now and what has changed? A few bugfixes, but I know, I know.. It's a free game and I shouldn't complain (yet I do know alot here think the same)

It had been mentioned often enough that there prolly won't be any big changes to HnH this world...and i guess most agreed that it would be better to have a "better" developed next one ... thus this has to last a bit longer as is ...

I've taken to following a few indi games over the years, and if its one thing I see time and time again its developers being optimistic, trying to keep up morale of the community, and then said community getting fucking mad when reality comes a knockin. Star Command, Blockade Runner, Project Zomboid, etc. etc. When Jorb said that back in 2011 I dare say he meant it. Then the work load hit. When they were students H&H coding was probably a kind of recreation. When your job is coding, you would rather be doing something else on your down time.
