Guys, for those who still haven't figured it out: talk to Asm and see how he values this project. You can tell people that a freelancer was found on the site (maybe some will feel better about it and won same be so salty), it makes no difference; the result is what matters. Plus, Asm knows his stuff unlike random programmers—he has experience.

It's obvious that motivation is needed. Time = money. These are adults with families. (And some are even ludomaniacs »). It will take a lot of time to focus fully for the fastest possible result.

In short,

1. Agreement yes/no.
2. The price point.
3. Timeframe. Within what period should the finished product be expected? (Coding + debugging).
4. What we want. The objective.

Clearly, Sav won't bless Baratorch because HotA is his brainchild, and they have chosen this tactic of political pressure and blackmailing players in the struggle for online numbers. And that is a weakness. A fear of competition. You are targeting a wider spectrum of players, thousands of single-player fans etc., so what's the problem?
Grow your own community, make it trendy, so that SoD players want to play it and show off their skill. Maybe you'll win them over, rather than forcing it upon them.
Not like it is now: "you want OH? here is HotA; don't want HotA? - fuck off!"

Look at history. Where are the TEs now? The same method of imposition was used. (There was also a stereotype back then that people playing SoD were mentally retarded. I won't point fingers at the preachers)
Indeed, hotkeys back then were a revolution on the level of today's OH.

Guys from HotA, purely technically you've done some really cool things, like OH and the lobby; that is truly progress one step forward, evolution, etc., but HotA itself... thank you very much, good luck to it and all the best! (burn in hell with bright flames). If I were to write down all my feelings about it, it would be a long—very long post, full of swearing, and I'd get banned. Although for the most part I don't give a damn, it wouldn't change the essence of the matter.
