Meh, people talk a LOT on the PR forums too, it's pretty much the same thing there
.
We've had a very quiet period while developing PR v1.0 as well, where the community wasn't informed about updates, simply because development was very slow. This is due to real life commitments like education, jobs, partners, children, sickness, etc. or sometimes people just burn out and need some time to get that modding motivation back.
And if a couple of developers have that, there is nothing to let the public know other than "we're working on it". And then suddenly someone has a breakthrough, people get excited again and in no-time you're developing, fixing bugs, creating new features, mapping your ass off, etc.
I think FH2 is suffering (or has suffered) from such a thing. I think all mods go through something like this sooner or later, it's perfectly normal. After all, this isn't our job, it's our hobby.
I'm just glad to know that FH2 is still being worked on and wish the team all the best. We're all very excited about the new version and, like pretty much everyone else, cannot wait to get my hands on it
