The way forward

I want this update to happen, the loss of the browser version is a small price to pay 75
Although I prefer the browser/mobile version I would be willing to switch to the downloadable 28
I don't really care either way 18
I am only willing/able to play with a mobile compatible version. Unless I get an iOS/Android port I will abandon the project 6
I am only willing/able to play with a browser version. If this is the way the game goes I will abandon the project 3

So as I said in the last post this is an important poll.With our $1000 goal reached I will have some opportunities to hire some people to do upgrading/optimizing work for me, things that I am not able to do on my own.

The best way to make Hornsville a better game engine-wise would be to convert its current format to an actual executable. This would mean creating a proper, downloadable game version. The game would run smoother, it would work better in both Windows and OSX, it would be prettier and I would have plenty of cool new features to include.A better UI, bigger, more versatile pictures, music, sound effects, perhaps even a few simple animations thse would be all possible to implement with relative ease.

There is always a catch however. This would mean that you won't be able to play the game (or at least not its complete version) in your browser anymore. Furthermore this will prevent you from playing on mobile devices (phones, tablets) unless I manage to put together an app version which won't be easy and might not happen at all.

So the question is what do you guys, gals and all other nice people want to do?
