Sorry for letting y'all down

Find a female if you can, they won't stop until that shit's perfect

Lol anyways, I was always under the impression that Dylan had a bit of knowledge on what your job entails.
If so, wouldn't it be possible for him to kind of help out (seeing as if he wanted too)?
I mean, I know you said you don't have time to go over all the stuff with the person etc etc, but obviously you must trust Dylan to some extent, not to mention have other means of communicating with him outside of pkh.

I have been talking to Dylan in recent months, but nothing has been definitively decided yet. So I'm not going to comment on that for the time being.

Ah, okay.

It it bad that when Brandon said "find a female" and then Mike responded with "I've been talking to Dylan", that I got the wrong idea for a moment...?


But yeah, seriously, I don't even have the motivation, nor time, to play anymore. I can't even begin to imagine how you could even consider working on PKH after the days you're having.

The idea of a second coder is interesting, but as you say, it would be extremely difficult to do so and it won't happen any time soon. Finding someone you can trust won't be easy either. If only Steinburg wasn't so...sporadic



I'm interested to see how things pan out though; both IRL and pixel related ;3

[Thoby]

It isn't a problem.
This is your game, and you don't have to excuse yourself for anything;
Your game, your rules; no-one can judge on that.

How were those applicants actually coming in, might I ask?
IRL people you know- and who were interested, or actual people from the community/game itself?

Goodluck with the internship, Mike!

[Michyy]

Take your time ^^. Have fun with the internship.

[Cow you]

I also have exams next week, so it is understandable.

And this is why we should really have some kind of secondary developer, for small content releases like this.

I have never objected to hiring another developer, but so far we have rejected every single applicant for developer. Because of the following reasons:
-> Incompetence (most people fail on this one)
-> Untrustworthy (I'm not going to entrust a stranger with 4 years of work)
-> No experience with RSPS (some people may be competent programmers but have no knowledge of RSPS which means training them would take more from my time than it would save us time)

I have high hopes that in the near future I will have a secondary developer, but at this point it's too early to elaborate on that. First we'll see how it goes.

I may be able to put you in touch with someone Mike. He is one of the best developers I know, maybe not as good as you, however, I do not know you fully.
He has worked on other RSPS, he's active and he's a decent guy. Let me know if you're interested in meeting him. Shoot me a PM on forums.

Steinburg, but I know you wouldn't trust him

Sorry, but if I'm going to hire someone, it HAS to be someone that I know (or can get to know) IRL. I will not risk my work in the hands of someone whom I cannot trust entirely. And even if I can't trust him entirely, at least I want to be able to show up on their doorstep and knock em into the hospital incase they ever betray me.
Also, in my experience, 100% of people who has offered their help is either incompetent or untrustworthy (usually both). Aside from Rapsey and Dylan, but I know both of them IRL.

That being said, please leave the recruiting process to me I appreciate the offers, but it's not going to do any good (rather the contrary).

[Dead newb]

Hang in there, bud! Wont be too much longer.


If you do happen to get a chance, shoot me a message on Skype.

Mike,

Dylan won a price with both you and Rapsey. I'm sure he's capable of atleast throw out some small updates.

For example let him work out "new" shop items to stabilize the economy. Perhaps he can do other small minor stuff also.

I've send you the quest a few weeks ago, did you ever read the story line? Did you start on it?
