My Thoughts on Game Direction

Empire has been axed too, per Richard himself over here, as well as seasons has been stated that they HOPE to get it in one day but are unsure. Meaning it’s no longer a goal.

I can see why you’d call half an overestimate, but at the same time, that’s a loose 72% as most of the things on that list haven’t been hardly talked about or even touched in a long time. By all means, tell me when the last time you heard anything about Pirates, Ninjas, and Politicians was. Because if I recall, it’s been months, and even then it was kinda danced on as it would go against the warmness of Stonehearth. And that’s just one of the many topics.

I’ll agree to this.

I’m not asking for that kind of information. I am saying though that with all the ideas and talk that has been going on, it sounds and looks like it’s going in a completely different direction that it is supposed to.

At the same time, when the person writing it flat out says they won’t be doing something, it’s safe to say that that won’t be in it.


No, please, discuss away. If I’m wrong, I will admit it. In fact, in a private conversation with @MelOzone, he made me realize that I may be being too much of an ass to the developers.

On the other page, @nikosthefan and @genboom have come up with an idea that, if implemented, solves my concerns. At the same time, I have to keep repeating myself to everyone how I asked about my concerns, in the beginning, was told too bad about them, and haven’t gotten a clear response since. If Nikki were to come forward and say “I talked to Richard and we’re going to do X in regard to your concern”, I’d be right there with everyone that we need to wait and see if it’s better. But we’re not getting that.

You made the statement above that I’m backing up what I’m saying and not just talking out of my ass. I want to ask you to do the same at this point.

A few months ago, I made the statement that the conversation system was a waste of time. After a long discussion, Richard finally convinced me that it was a needed waste of time and why to which I admitted that.

The water system I was excited about, and actually spent days trying to break it in order to help Albert, never once talking bad about it rather than that we weren’t being kept in the loop on what was going on.

Then we returned to the building system, to which I voiced my concern the same as everyone else, then received a hard “too bad”. I then became elevated at the statement of why I got told too bad; “because it isn’t Stonehearth’s Style”. That’s when I went overboard in my rebuttal, to which I will apologize for, and people began psycho analyzing me, wanting to know why I was so angry. It wasn’t until then that everything else came out.

So as I have shown you why I feel the way I have, and why I come to the thoughts that I have, I ask of you and everyone else here (specifically @Solus and @Fornjotr) to show me where I’ve been this horrible menace that y’all now act like I am. If I have been this ass for a while, then I will apologize and admit to it. But I get this feeling you will only find that my disposition and outrage has only been since the post of the Desktop Tuesday.

But at this point, there’s no proof the devs even know what the end point is. So your whole montage of “We’re on the path”, how do we know that? Multiple people have asked repeatedly what we can look forward to, and Richard even stated that they have it 85% - 90% figured out…yet they won’t share with us what that is.
