Hi everyone.  I've been following the progress of this for a long time. . .since 2005 I think.  I haven't seen any updates or even posts on the forums in months.  Was there a posting that the game was scrapped or something?  I hope not!

[MZBKA]

never mind!  I guess I was checking the wrong board!  please move along!

LOL. A game will come out of this.

Yeah, if for no other reason then to spite the universe

I'd certainly like to see Hero6 actually released.  It's so damn close to being done too....

You mean this project is actually alive?

[Paladin0707077]

Yes, it's alive, it's just that all the developers are ignoring PR in favor of getting the game done, and most of the other members have drifted away. Sad, but they will return when a date of release is set in stone, I bet.

I know exactly how annoying it is to try and gather up suitable PR materials, but I also know - from a fan standpoint - that it never hurts putting up on the website, every now and then, a little "We're working on it! It's going good, slowly but surely. Dev #1 is doing this, dev #2 is doing that, and I'm doing something else."

Only takes 5 minutes and will make 20 people who frequent the site happy for a few months!

Actually, to my eyes, some of the more recent posts from the team in these boards ARE like that, though they're more informal responses to my and others' inqueries and posts. So, in a way, you're getting what you want.
Besides, for this forum, I think it works better like that: the game has been in development for so long that most people just want to get it done before people leave the team again (life happens), so most (like me) probably just want them to concentrate on getting the game close to done, without worrying too much about PR stuff. Heck, the boards are almost deserted right now, so no real point in posting PR messages when nobody's here to read 'em, eh?
That's not to say that when they get close to release day (say 3 months or less, work left) that I don't think they should announce the day of release to every single member who has an email address in the list. As I keep saying, when that happens, with a SET IN STONE DATE OF RELEASE, I can almost promise that people will return and the PR stuff will take an upswing.
