If you go back to the website for the game, there has been a change. According to the author's posting on the 20th of August, the game may be back sooner than expected. I am guessing he was contacted by someone who was willing to help with development. I did not get a chance to play this game, but I watched a Let's Play on youtube. The game looks like it's would be amazing if it was completed. Hopefully we will be hearing more from th creator soon.

 August 20, 2014 Shores of Hazeron is morphing into a different game. It may be back sooner than you think, sort of. Ship designs and DNA may play a role. Lots of juicy code needs to be distilled; we'll see what remains. Check here once in a while for updates. Interesting but what sort of game will it be.

Interesting but what sort of game will it be. Well if its going to be made using some of the orginal code then I can't even begin to imagine... Maybe the same game but made into some sort of strategy game. First person could be done away with and ship flight simplified or even automated. Planets may be top-down view only (90% of the time you use top-down anyway). Could end up like Civilization with the Hazeron universe. Hmmm thats actually sounding pretty cool. Damn I wish I could make games :mail:

Heyas all, I actually visited and talked with Haxus directly on what he was going to do. Hes basically going to be making Gravity Well 2, with some larger multiplayer elements (or thats the plan anyway). Hes going to be using ships and planets I think at the moment, and general universe creation (with drastically pared down size for a smaller multiplayer game). He's stated he wants it to be on tablets but will probably do PC first (or at least as well, hes being challenged to find a control scheme that will work for tablets). More or less, he wants to get something actually done and released, since Hazeron was a massive financial drain (and I believe he was a little depressed about it and the long term problems, I think he nuked the forums just because he didn't want to deal with them too). He *might* go back to it later if everything falls into place and hes actually earning money from things hes released, as he doesn't want to retire yet, or he might go some other route (possibility of some other games from parts of Hazeron, or if all else fails some micro-purchases games purely on tablets). 

Haxus posted this on his Hazeron site: "December 15, 2014 I've received a fair bit of e-mail asking for some sort of status on the future of this game project. I apologize for not answering every single one. This post will have to suffice. Shores of Hazeron is a gigantic software project, perhaps more than I can get done. I've been working like a madman for months developing a smaller-scale game from the vast code base of SoH. The primary goal is to pull together a complete, concise, playable game that I could get done. It has of course taken longer than expected but its almost there. Close on its heels, I have another game concept that I will likely pursue. It will also draw heavily from the SoH source code, though in an entirely different way. The goal of this game is the same as the first, to get it done, playable and posted. After those two games are finished, I may return to working on Shores of Hazeron. I kind of miss it. I hope that was enough information for the curious."
