Hi again.
I'm already very busy but I feel like making a new release for HOBH. Since the expo ended I have used r2 as a testbed for a few experimental ideas intended for the next iteration of my project. After comparing the current experimental version of r2 with the release version, I feel the game has improved enough to warrant an r3 release.
I should note that only changes are related to game mechanics, though. I know I've said that I wanted to write a votemenu system for HOBH but to be honest I just cannot get the motivation to design one. As I've mentioned I'm already very busy with the project HOBH was a test for and if possible I'd like to get this out quickly. If I forgo writing a voting system I could hopefully get everything polished and ready before the end of next week.
The reason I'm writing this post instead of just getting r3 ready for release is that I want to know if wheter or not a votemenu system for r3 would be a waste of my time. If I implement a votemenu system in r3 and commit to actively maintaining HOBH, would you or someone you know run a server for HOBH? Would you play on such a server if someone ran one? If there isn't much interest I'll probably shelve HOBH once my current project is ready. But if someone is willing to invest time and effort into running a server I *will* keep working on HOBH as long as I have the time to.
Your opinions would be appreciated, thanks.
