We have indeed made a change!
You may have noticed that in the past, the trip to Discourse was one way – you could go from stonehearth.net to Discourse, but not back again. We’ve fixed that now.
Old way: clicking the Stonehearth logo on Discourse took you to the main Stonehearth Discourse page.
New way: clicking the Stonehearth logo takes you to stonehearth.net (which is as it should be).
This approach allows us to better integrate community into the overall website, and (as @SteveAdamo alludes) prepares the way for some upcoming, um, improvements to the website.
Hey everyone, yes, @Brad is a new member of Team Radiant, and we are super lucky to have him! Brad has been a VP at Lego and was most recently at Roblox. He has a lot of experience connecting projects with the people who would be most interested in them. Right now he’s helping us redesign our website, which includes making discourse look and feel more like a part of stonehearth.net, hence the header and the link back to the main site.
@brad, would you mind introducing yourself so we don’t have to awkwardly talk about you in the third person as if you’re not here? Or is that for another Tuesday?
Please don’t say that you’ve got a second (or third) game that you’re also working on. I see so many indie groups now getting a good or decent game into production, then dividing their resources over multiple games, and never finishing anything of them to what they should have been.
Hi Everyone!
It’s good to be here. I’m very excited to help bring Stonehearth to life.
“Improvements to the website” means just that – as we get closer to launching Stonehearth on Steam Early Access, we’ll be leveling up stonehearth.net pretty significantly. That means growing from what is at the moment pretty much just a development blog and Discourse to a full-fledged Stonehearth content and community center. That means a lot more stuff to serve both new and veteran players. We’re still planning exactly what will be there and when, but you can expect a getting started guide, player-supplied tips and tricks, ongoing content features, creative spotlights, customer support, and more. The community itself (this means you!) will have a big role in creating and updating content on the site. Stay tuned for more…
