Why do the Members of SHG Work so Hard?
Lots of reasons – we like to eat. We have bills to pay. We are obsessive with quality. These are facts, but they are not the true reason we work our butts off. It’s because 98%+ of communication we get from players goes something like this. From “Player Name Erased”[…]

Updates and Lego Contest
A lot of enhancements lately – some heavy behind-the-scenes work for speed improvements being one, the spying/disguise/online bonuses (including reduced energy costs) in Spy Battle: 2165 and a host of other subtle game improvements.

Shipyard 3000!
Every once in a while, even pirates can work as a team. June 12th was one such very rare occasion, as 270-odd Star Pirates collaborated to break the previous Shipyard record of 2109. A timer counting down to 13:00 set the tone for the event, and generated lots of excitement[…]
