Game Development: Salem & Haven

[NaoWhut]

so it was a hidebehind... huh...


Looks good joftorb =D i can't wait to
get to play it o.o...

also... that combat looked really... like
he whooped your butt in seconds... you
were just a total noob and he was like,
some sorta killer, right? ^^"

i must know more about witchcraft...
must get a gun...
must... become a pvp god of Salem o.o

Farming sounds interesting in the sense
that it could take a week after you sew
to get new crops, tracking changes look
rather curious, are there going to be
massive boats?

so wait in salem were just going to be able to buy metals and wood and stuff and other items? i think this is so stupid a shop would not only benefit the most richest player but i think would destroy the balance of the game

It looks good and I love your guys' enthusiasm for the product, but it looks SO so so so so far away from actual commercial release. Do you at least have someone from the professional studio reworking your gui?

EDIT: Just got to the end of the video. Alpha soon with release hopefully summer next year. Seems a lot more reasonable. Can't wait to try it out.

New concept art on facebook, I like those art a lot more than those models from movies. Just don't make heads and hats too big and arms and foots too small. In particular I like farmer face

Sorry guys, but I confess I'm too lazy to read the whole thread and I just wanna know if anybody already knows a release date or has any idea when it's going to be playable.
Thanks in advance

If you're right in that estimation, I guess world 6 won't come untill end october or november at the earliest, then. I doubt jorbtar would want their "elite" test crew spending time on a new H&H world while also testing Salem.

I'm not sure why you think there will be a new world or why it would be so soon. Not that people aren't constantly starting rumors about there being need of a new world regardless but I severely doubt that the second JLo finish Salem they'll automatically restart the entire world. It's much more likely they'll do a substantial amount of development before hand and maybe some time next year we'll see a new world with spiffy new features, assuming nothing breaks before then.

There is no need for new world, maybe only bigger map or deletion of claims that weren't active for weeks.

I would think there'd be a new world soon due to the large portion of this that's been broken due to the crash which is thus unusuable and blocks world usage pretty significantly, as well as jorbtar wanting to alpha some more salem features in H&H before actually launching them in salem. Of course, if they haven't really made any significant work behind the curtains that can be appied to H&H, then we'll be stuck with this world indefinately, sure, but I was vaguely hoping they'd have something wizarded up and prepared.
