🔮 Future Plans

I want to share a quick update on where things stand with HoFa and what’s next.

First, I want to acknowledge what many of you are feeling. Curly, Roze, and ERA have poured years of passion into this game and were deeply loved by the community. Their efforts brought art, planning, moderation, and heart to HoFa in ways that shaped its identity - and I understand how their departure has left many feeling hurt and uncertain. That legacy deserves recognition and respect.

That said, I want to clarify a clear misconception that players seem to have - I’ve quietly handled much of HoFa’s development and operations myself from the beginning. From coding and game design to news posts and financials, I’ve been deeply involved behind the scenes, even when I wasn’t as active publicly. I’ve had a hand in almost every process and while it’s definitely been a week of getting organized with files and art, there is nothing the team is not still capable of completing.

While 2025 has brought some challenges, development is still moving forward. I’ve been focused on bug fixes, cleaning up systems, and planning next steps with help from Thunderbolt, Brumby, and others who’ve chosen to stay.

Please note that new item art will be on pause for the next couple of months so we can prioritize dev work, but horse art will continue since there are still campaigns and breed redos to complete. If you want to keep track of what’s coming, here is the list of breed art.

Lastly, HoFa is not for sale. We’re still building. And for those sticking around - thank you. Your support means a lot, and I hope what comes next earns your trust.

🐴 National Show Horse

Today we release the National Show Horse breed art. The breed is a 50/50 cross between American Saddlebred and Arabian. The club is currently public for membership joins and has a total of 130 members. A big congratulations to the newest player made breed!

🗺️ Road Map

I’ve started reviewing the list of feature requests. Those that are approved will show on the Road Map under Planned. Those under consideration will show in the Under Review column. If I have plans to add a feature request into the next update, it will show under In Progress. Once there are less bug reports, I’ll start sprinkling these in.
