Sadly, these moderation updates have been abandoned by me for quite some time. The main reason is, as usual, lack of time and bad prioritization. But I was asked by TundraPuppy to bring them back, which I think is an excellent idea, and I am committed to do them on a monthly basis. Let’s see how it goes - please remind me if I am late
Moderation
For one, I’ve added you all your em$ for May, sorry about being late with them. Thank you for all your help with the forum and hope you’ll enjoy spending!
About the current state of moderation on the forum - I would like to ask you all to be more active, not only when it comes to moderating of trouble-makers, but also the “housekeeping” part - renaming thread titles to clarify what they are about, moving them to more suitable forums, merging similar ones, splitting posts that went off-topic into separate discussions etc. etc. Also, I’ve noticed that we are getting a lot of new members recently and it’s especially important they get a warm experience on their first posts, so don’t hesitate to jump in and say hello / offer some help when you see one of newbie posts.
We are in the process of adding another Steam moderator, once it’s all sorted out I am going to invite him to this forum as well and let him introduce himself to all of us.
Staff and game
As usual, I would like to share some news with you about the team and company that are not known to the rest of the community yet. For one, the holiday season is starting in Sweden, a lot of team members are leaving for vacations, so it’s getting very quiet (and cozy) in the office. The development has slowed down significantly as well and this summer we’ll be focusing on improving the game quality (mostly when it comes to server stability and game crashed, but also “normal” bugs) over developing new content.
As you know from our status updates, the team has recently grown significantly over the last months and it’s mostly new faces here (I am soon going to be “oldest” one, hehe). Despite the majority of theHunter veterans have left, we are still managing to maintain that warm and happy family feeling that we all really appreciate when coming to work every day. Unfortunately, two more oldies are leaving us - our Lead Client Programmer Danny has found himself a new game development adventure in Canada and our game designer Daniel here in Stockholm. It’s sad for us but cool for them! We’ve already found a replacement for Danny and are looking for someone to fill Daniel’s shoes, although it probably won’t be easy.
Personal
Lately I’ve been watching lots of football and learning how to drive.I haven’t managed to get my driving license until now and I thought it would be a good time to start. It’s not going super smooth but I am getting there
I am not taking any vacations this summer, so I will have plenty of time on my hands. Today I also got amazing news that finally, after 5 years in Sweden, I got my Swedish citizenship, yay! I am super happy and a bottle of champagne is due to be popped open tonight.In a couple of day there is a big Swedish holiday - Midsummer, so we’ll be doing some bbq-ing and boating.
I haven’t seen you nor talked to you guys much recently, so I would like to hear what’s been going on in your life, how you feel about theHunter, the state of the game and community, and anything really that you would like to share.
Stay well!
oh god we are all doomed....
