My fellow Hearthlanders,

Hope you’re all in good health.

It’s evident that with a full-time job, personal responsibilities, a time-consuming project and a finished game (plus my poor time-management skills) it is hard for me to keep up with everything as fully as it deserves to be kept up with.

I apologize for that and I thank you for being here and reading this.

Please feel free to join my Discord, where I’ll try my best at answering questions and discussing things.

I keep it on most of the day, since I’m also using it for work, but may not be able to answer everything right away.

Let me know if I’m missing something important.

Frequently asked question: Is the game still being developed?

The game is complete with a full campaign mode as well as a sandbox mode. It has four factions, randomized and customizable maps, in total - at least tens of hours of gameplay.

I know that these days it is customary to keep adding content to a 10 year old game, but I don't think it adds that much value to something that is already good. While working on the game I realized that adding stuff doesn't necessarily make experience better, but it makes things more complicated. People often do that because it increases profits, but I would rather do something new. The game is made by the team of one, and I just don't have enough resources to keep putting in the same level of effort as I had 7 years ago.

I keep making minor updates from time to time, and I see that there's still interest for a DLC, so maybe I'll be able to do that as some point.

There will be an update soon: Italian language + some minor things. I'll be uploading it to GOG and Humble too.

Another problem with adding new content is that I don't have an artist. Original artist has not done anything since soon after the release (though I kept making payments). Some bad stuff had also been done in the past. I don't feel like going into detail here, let me just say that it's a miracle that the game got made in the first place. Never do business with your friends.

Having said that, I want to say that it has been an amazing experience, and I'm forever grateful to the community for letting it happen. It's great to know that all the effort and hard work (from me and everyone who helped and keeps helping) means something. I'm very proud with how the game turned out - the game I wanted (and tried to) make since the age of 7.

Thank you and stay safe.
Sergio
