'''Faron:''' Do you know, off hand, what sort of computers will be able to handle the game? Like, Mac, Windows 98/XP/Vista?

'''JadusableH:''' But if the question is are you able to access it as of right now? Then, no, you're not. You can try, but you won't be able to get in.

'''PERSONALoiathal:''' Disregarding development-related delays (which of course cannot be avoided), do you have any explanation for the repeated instances of missed short-term deadlines that seem to have not been have dependent on you having material to show and only required for you to make a short post - (such as the April 4th update - “I'll fill you guys in on the majority of the info [...] tomorrow” - no update until the 23rd; Complete Guide to the Story, posted 26th feb, still no update; May 10th update - “I'll keep you guys posted throughout the week” - as of writing no update)? Personally, that has been the most disappointing aspect of this process. Can we expect more of this absence?

'''JadusableH:''' I've heard horror stories about me logging on just to check the forum out and see what the community is like, and since people saw Guide on the active users list, they pulled an all-nighter for absolutely nothing when they had school the next day.

'''PERSONALoiathal:''' I understand that problem-- I see it all the time. Have you considered creating an "OOC-Jad" account for community browsing and general unrelated stuff? That way, we'd know you're alive, but it's non-canon.

'''Hoaieu:''' Hello, Admin your admins could post like! Will other media, including the youtube/YSHDT.net/Wayward Horizon which have proved to be relevant in the past continue to play a significant part once the game part of arc 3 begins? You stated in I believe your 4/23 update that there would be an event building up to the game, and I assume that those aforementioned mediums would be important during that, but will they continue to be vital, necessary and continually updated in the latter half?

'''JadusableH:''' Well it kinds of ruins it if I reveal my gameplan, but I'll just say that some old mediums will be returning and will play a significant role in Arc 3.

'''JadusableH:''' Well, that's kind of the nature of donating. I dont think there was anyone who expected to get the game for free because they donated in the past. It's been explicitly stated that if you donating you are doing so because you enjoyed the story thus-far, not because it will speed up development time. I have hammered home this point (even as far back as the old website) time and time again to ensure that people know exactly what they're donating for. I can think of maybe three instances where I would make an exception if they asked me, but other than that, come on. It's $3 man.

'''JadusableH:''' The mods have done an amazing job, and I'm forever grateful for that. When I first appointed them I checked up on them repeatidly and they seemed to constantly reassure me that they had everything under control. It was about that time that I moved to New York and started to have other immediate priorities so I couldn't check in as much. At the same time, I get dozens upon dozens of messages/emails almost daily and its hard to keep up with them all, but I hardly recall hearing any problems with the mod situation until it got "bad", and even then I only heard about it once or twice from other members who weren't the mods themselves.

'''JadusableH:''' It was a regrettable failure to communicate, I didn't realize the magnitude of the situation because quite frankly it all seemed rather absurd to me that people were getting that worked up to begin over completely petty things.

'''JadusableH:''' The game will take probably a week to play through, shorter or longer depending on how you guys progress, there will be certain areas that will be inaccessible in the game until criteria is met somewhere else.

'''JadusableH:''' Think of it as a battle on multiple fronts. Those who have the game will be able to go into more or less the eye of the storm, where a lot of the story progression takes place, but that doesn't mean that the other fronts aren't important. You'll have those with the game in "ground zero" so to speak, and you'll have those working - say the website for example - as your tech support, opening up other parts of the game and such.
