l will need to fix that later.

Presuming that the mineshaft comes from You Are Hope, aren't they supposed to be distancing themselves from OHOL after that argument from a year and a half ago or so, as to make sure that the game has no association with Jason Rohrer, nor any people making that connection? If they're creating new assets with the already existing assets from OHOL, wouldn't that be against what Jason Rohrer exclaimed when things went south?

They got forked out of updates (basically after a certain version they could no longer use the same version of the game.) Follow that up with they're also working on YaH2 and soon you'll have a better ohol than the original.

Could be from a custom server or alternate OHOL, like 2HOL.    But I haven't seen it before.

I started playing the mobile game since it doesn’t have the dumb racist rules and there are mechanics to stop grieving in your town. There is actually new content as well and the developers listen to their gaming community. Also, there are more players.

I liked being able to explore the map more easily by using the rift edges for navigation.   I could find out where I was and return to places that I liked to fix problems or continue working on longterm projects.

It was a big box, but small enough that I could travel from one end to the other in s single lifetime, even if I was on foot.  A horse made traveling the rift a breeze.  My only regret was not being able to rest my horse anywhere except town.   I'd love it if horses could be anchored on rocks or trees.

I liked the road network and the Tarr monument shrine. 

I liked starting a cult to worship a juniper tree sapling.  It was funny and sad at the same time.

What positive experiences did you have while living in the Rift?

+1 for less bear caves, feathers from domestic goose and hungry work for all trees including juniper

-1 for the constant dramatic tone (most of the major issues are going to be fixed at some point)

Jason may solve some particular small set of issues, but won't really address core problems.  This game has been on consistent decline in terms of playerbase, and there exist a small handful of good updates since December.  Most of the technology wasn't useful when introduced.  An apoclaypse for no reason, which were never consistent with people playing for their lineage.  Then we had swords.  People coming together and leading to griefer Eves.  People complained, rightfully, about such as not consistent with a game about parenting and civlization *building* (at least raidos were compatible with building, even though they were NOT about parenting in the sense of making better lives for in game children).  The genetic score system had something to it, but not much.

Oh, and Jason had already seen evidence that bringing people together so that towns could easily get found by Eves lead to mass griefing.  Yet, he implemented a system that made such even more likely to happen.  People told, AND SHOWED, him that the problem was griefing.  And he responded by insisting that the problem could be solved by some time constraint, indicating that he didn't get the problem.

The whole rift idea also indicates a problem, since it limits potential growth.  The finite map idea never made a lick of sense, because of that limiting of potential player growth.

The game has continually declined in terms of player count: https://steamcharts.com/app/595690#All (even the green there will change shortly due to the recent dropoff).  And it dropped drastically recently:

And instead of finding such sad, or taking such as a moment needed for self-reflection, Jason just laughed off such a precipitous drop.

On top of that, Jason should have hired help long ago, and I doubt he'll do that at any point in time.

And -1 for a positive attitude.  There is no cause for optimism when you have consistent negative information coming in (see above).  At least not with serious change that caters to players' preferences.  Something that Jason has repeatedly spit in the face of, for example, with his reluctance to implement a choice screen for players, showing that he disrespects player's making their own choices.

Keep in mind that appart from behing passionate it's also his livelihood, you have to pay the bills some way at the end of the day.

Jason wrongfully believes that he's the greatest game designer ever and has only said that he will continue development to the end of 2019.  He just does what he did before.  He just lives off of the proceeds of his last game and makes a new one, anticipating the next one will work out well for him financially.  Doing that may even interest him more, as he certainly doesn't like listening to opinions of his playerbase as he has repeatedly made clear, and making a new game doesn't have a playerbase to listen to.  No, there is no reason to believe that Jason has to fix the game with respect to core issues.

And he's probably not interested in doing such either, because it would mean that he would have to give up on concepts as viable, recognize inconsistencies in the game, listen to the playerbase, respect their preferences, and no doubt hire help.

They might have banned you for calling the guy gay or something else, you sound toxic as well, so it probably was a good thing.

It probably was a good thing for me.
The place was filled with the same unproductive pointless arguments and people complaining about Jason and how this game is so broken. If I wanted to get that I would just go to r/onehouronelife it's the same stuff but without the horrible mods.
