The team here at Hunted Cow are still working on Fallen Sword, Eldevin, the FS mobile app and an unannounced new game. As always we'll share information and details on the various projects when we can!
question
zorg stated that hcs was working on an unannounced new game in march already.
whenever i would post info about it i would get shot down for spreading false rumors.
now you also post it here
i simply don't get it anymore now you say that you guys are happy to share info but whenever info is shared in a corner in this case legacy online and i post it out in the open i get stuff thrown at me.
so can you please tell me what type of game will this new game be. is it something for me to look forward to?
and fyi this is the post that would be removed everytime i posted it and well since you also spilled the beans i hope it can stay up now.

I'm in early to do the warfare switch, as always. While I wait for structures to demolish, I thought I'd give you guys an update on what's going on. I know some people here think I just laze around at the studio all day doing little to no work, in general it's quite the opposite. It's just not work on Legacy, or Fallen Sword, or Eldevin.
For the last year I've been working on our newest project, and as much as I'd love to show everyone what it is, it's sadly still a secret. The server-side / back end of this project is written entirely by me and it's putting me under quite a large amount of pressure.
That being said it's going to be a great game and I'm incredibly proud of what we've made so far. It should be released fully towards the end of the year, it's heavily influenced by our past projects and even has a few mechanics from Legacy in it that you'll one day see.
What does this mean for our current games? Our continued existence as a company requires that we make new products as the old ones lose popularity. This does not mean we've forgotten about you guys, and it does not mean we're shutting down old projects. It does mean it's really hard for me to find time to do updates at the moment, but wont necessarily always be that way.
I'll always try to keep Legacy running, regardless of what the company is doing, but I can't let it keep stressing me out anymore than I don't have time to do massive updates. If someone else wanted to do updates in their free time for me, I'd probably be able to swing it so they could get access to the code at this point. But we've all grown up a lot in these past 10 years, we all used to have lots of free time and now find ourselves with less and less, so I can't imagine volunteers having much more time than myself.
As for the voluntary helper situation, I'm going to loosen up the rules a bit when it comes to being staff and playing the game as well. I'll be chatting to FatTony about his possible ascension in the coming weeks.
