Final Words


 Still might get that final update out, but it's not looking like it will be happening.

 I figure I owe everyone an explanation as to why I am stopping the project.
 The problem being, is that I don't really have a reason.

 I simply lost interest in the project.

 I had this weird idea that people would go crazy to write for the game, which turned out false.
 The biggest issue is that importing writing took me FAR too long. I should have taken me minutes to copy the text in, not an hour or more.

  Crowd sourcing material turned out to be a horrible idea.
 I don't know how the other games manage it, but it is certainly not for me. Maybe it's because the game didn't ever get popular enough, but that would be my fault as well.
 If I ever do a new project, I am not doing it without a dedicated writer and a dedicated graphic artist behind me, so we can do it properly.

 Another issue I could never get over with HoD is the sexiness being do removed from the game play.
 An issue that I didn't consider when building the game, until it was too far along to be changed.
 This is another issue I'd fix if I ever take another crack at games.

 I hope the little content that was in the game already is enough for people to still think fondly of the game, but it's a project I am done with.

 I thank you all for your support, and apologies for losing interest in the project.
