Haven't you guys been paying attention Jorb and Loftar drop development of Salem to work on Haven/Hafen full time over a month ago.

Great news, can't wait for the future.

Anything that brings haven updates closer is great news in my book. Sucks to see their work on salem sold, but this could mean some great things for haven

Yes, it means they can spend more time working on the real game (instead of Salem) now

I just hope jorbtar get a decent amount of $$$$ from this, since it was an income source they need while working on Hafen.

I too wish they will one day see financial success (or rather, financial independence), and I hope they got some decent money for Salem, sadly though, I don't think they did, but that's just my speculation. :'(

(20:40:23) <Claeyt> When is HnH new world coming out loftar and is it 3D

Putting out the offer now. If you hear word of this guy playing haven, I am willing to offer pearl payment for his location and tears.
(Offer is open until the end of time and will remain open if he moves after the first time)

They've been pretty adamant about devoting some degree of attention, even if it's only mulling over solutions, to both Salem and Haven. The announcement saying they were putting Salem on the backburner for a bit didn't change that, it just meant they weren't actively coding it. This junction means that all of their energies, both mental and physical, are going into Haven now. That means a lot.

From the sounds of what has been said they got something of a decent lump sum for their code and will continue to get a percentage of Salem's income. The better the new guys do with Salem the more money they'll continue to get.

hopefully jorb and loftar get enough money so they can promote their games at conventions in north america or something, like PAX. I'd totally go to pax east again just to see a haven and hearth booth.

The actual space is surprisingly cheap for a PAX booth at around $1300 USD for the cheap ones. If you want to give people a chance to play your game then it starts to get pricey, going into the 5-10,000 USD range. A weekend basic internet connection in the convention center costs $3500 USD.
