When they first started they were supposed to be weekly. I can appreciate that it was an unrealistic goal but  five sentences and some bullets every couple weeks is not an unreasonable request.

Been nearly a month... Last update was on June 6th and it's the 26th... TIL that 20 days (not even three weeks) equals a month.

Patience people. It'll happen when it happens.

You fuzzy bunny kidding me right? Do you people have any patience? This hysteria about the game dying, devs unresponsiveness, and just general complaining about Adhesive and the devs has put a giant 'READ AT YOUR RISK' sign over the forums for me. I am fuzzy bunny tired of this fuzzy bunny.

Its a elementary math concept called rounding.  Perhaps you've heard of it?

Yes, something over 15 days can be considered "nearly a month" when you round to the nearest index.  Notice he didn't say, its been "exactly a month" as that would be an incorrect statement.

And the number of people to do so, must be rough being a small team.

Is it alright if I inquire what you meant by this on the last Dev Update you posted?

Agreed, let it never be said that having more peoples didn't help!

As far as the quote, there isn't much to read into with that. It just means that my time is a bit divided at the moment, more than it has been in the past. Thanks!

Sure, ADH can't communicate that frequently. But you can't have us believing that your so absolutely and completely busy that ADH can only communicate developments once every few weeks.

Here's the thing. They (Gazillion) have made it a priority to communicate with their community frequently. They don't always have groundshaking developments to talk about. Sometimes they don't even reply to game related things (One of the replies was about how one dev wanted to marry another despite the fact the other dev was already married. Silly stuff and completely unrelated to the game).
But they've worked hard to build trust and goodwill with their community by making sure that the community knows that Gaz is actively keeping an eye on things.

I can't believe that all of your team is so busy that seeing a post like, "This is a known issue that will be getting resolved. Sorry." is something that can't be done on a more regular basis. Or the posts you've made in this thread. Even though you haven't said much, there's subtext in the mere fact that you made them that says, "Hey. We're here. We're paying attention. We're willing to answer questions." And I bet the posts didn't take that much time or effort.

I think if you guys did that more often, even if you're just shooting the breeze, it could do wonders. I also think it could alleviate people's need to have regular development updates.

EDIT: I realize that you, Hughes, post on a regular basis. But imagine the difference in what it looks like when multiple devs take a minute to post.

It's called sarcasm, ever heard of it?

Hughes said earlier this week there would be a Developer Update this week and since then people have done a whole lot of complaining and constant posting asking where this update is all the while acting like it's been so long since they heard from anyone about what is happening with Hawken when in reality it hasn't been that long. People need to learn a little thing called patience just like you need to learn about a little thing called sarcasm.
