TIME TO BE A COMMUNITY - Q&A

[Týr]

In the public HR chat on Stinto.net, it was brought to my attention that I am not the only person that is invested in this game, and that I am not the only person who is concerned for the game's (and Mo's) future. I just happen to be annoyingly vocal.

Between me and several other community members, it has been agreed that we want Mo to talk and answer some questions. To achieve this we've decided to summon Mo for a Q&A session on the HR Stinto chat. If you're willing to attend and express your support or ask a question, please post in this thread.

To Mo: What time and/or day would work best for you?

Mo runs on a toaster from 1986. Post questions in this thread instead.

FINE.

Question: Mammon implied that you tend to reject or disregard most of the things he proposes or suggests. What are the most common reasons for this?

[FRANKIE 4 FINGERS]

yeah, mo. not to be a dick or anything but i'd like to hear your feedback on ideas we throw out. more than just a sentence or a snarky comment. what plans do you have? what changes are you interested in making? what changes are you against? and why?

Question: Is HR coffeebreak or hardcore?

And what plans are there for end game sort of stuff?

This game is pretty cool so far. Some friends who just recently started playing themselves, introduced it to me. Also wondering when you'll respond to my email if you're the email contact from the Mall place in regards to the donation building name thing. Keep up the good work man, pretty chill game, but maybe it's time to update some stuff, not sure what though ha...

Not a lot has been proposed/suggested, so the jury is still out on that. He's done far more than we've discussed and not done.

Across all the folks I've worked with on the games, however, the reason for not going with ideas would be things I think would detract from gameplay (example: random one-hit kills at any time), or things I think wouldn't help gameplay and should be back-burner'd until the needed stuff is done.

more than just a sentence or a snarky comment.

I don't think I've made snarky comments about people's ideas.

what plans do you have? what changes are you interested in making?

It's an incremental thing. It's been six years since Hell Rising was 'launched' and there's no overall "the game is done, now" plan for the future. It's a matter of trying to provide something fun for people to play and building onto it without making a mess. Hopefully.

what changes are you against? and why?

I'm mostly against things that overcomplicate without adding much/any fun for people. Like if we had to keep track of how clean guns were and people had to clean them routinely or they'd misfire and cause you damage. Lots of new information to track, and not fun for anyone.

Question: Is HR coffeebreak or hardcore?

And what plans are there for end game sort of stuff?

Hell Rising is however people want to play it.

Also, what end game? Since Hell Rising is a web site, I'd imagine it has no more of an 'end' than a social site or forum.

Question: Some of us feel as though you occasionally lack motivation to work on HR. Is this true? If so, are there reasons for this? If not, what do you feel often impedes progress?

[Mary]

Hell Rising is however people want to play it.

That's not an answer ):I

Also, what end game? Since Hell Rising is a web site, I'd imagine it has no more of an 'end' than a social site or forum.

Neither is that.
Do you plan for people just to kill each other forever?

Tell us Mo, why do you suck so bad?




No reason!


I think that covers the majority of this.

Okay since my last post probably didn't make any sense and likewise wasn't in question form, ahem:

Question: Mo, did you get my email on the "Mall" donation page regarding the building donation idea? and likewise I'm really digging the game so whatever you're doing keep it up it's pretty chill, sometimes I wish I had a little sprite of what my character was wearing though, that would be coolsville.

snarky.



i dunno if i just haven't read the suggestions posts that thoroughly but it looks like you're naming off things that haven't even been brought up. what are some current things you're working on/adding to the game? do you think the classes are evenly matched? what's your opinion on making changes to the powerplant?
