So Darian is going to cook dinner for us if we make his bed, right?

There are going to be updates to the Builder Base as well. There may be times where we do several BH updates in a row then do several TH updates in a row. There may be times were we do one update then focus on the other for a single update and then switch back. It entirely depends on what is ready for deployment at that time. The BH stuff is easier to deploy new content for because it's much smaller than the TH content; however, that doesn't mean we're not working on stuff for the TH as well.

If you have to cook dinner (TH) and make your bed (BH), you obviously can't do both at the same time. If your dinner can be cooked in a microwave (short duration project), sometimes you can just throw it in the microwave and make your bed while the food is cooking. However, if you're cooking a complex dinner for a group of people coming over it might be easier to just make your bed first so you can then focus on the cooking after. You have to prioritize how your time (development resources) has to be spent.

I know these are vague references as I am more trying to convey how sometimes things shift based on what a) can be done quickly b) what is urgent c) what needs to be planned long term.

How it can be possible with your small developer team?
Everytime when there is a update and at the same time when there is delay behind that update, the team is always yelling about how small they are!

Are we gonna see more new fresh blood developers to keep updates more often and IN TIME?

I'm pretty sure there won't be any new TH's in main village(not in near future) since Builder base needs a lot of updates.

Thank you for the explanation, Darian, but this is my concern. Now that BH exists, supercell staff can't focus as much time on the townhall. The townhall is the game that we all fell in love with and played for years. Will supercell spend less time on the main base? Or will the staff have to work overtime?

I will happily cook dinner for someone who wants to clean my place. I'm a great cook, especially when it comes to dry-aged ribeye steak.

you misunderstood me, I didn't mean what you said I meant, I meant that, because the CoC team has more work now (CoC and the BB), they'll update both games less frequently

and darian confirmed this in his metaphor

@darian
if a person has to worry about only 1 chore, he'll take less time to get it done than if he had 2 chores

what I mean is that the updates to CoC will take more time to be released because they have 2 games now

Personally​ I don't want another TH level. There are already too many levels.

Adding another TH level will discourage people to even try and max out their bases asap imo cause it takes a looot of time. Not many people have so much patience.

I'd just like additions to the already existing TH levels.
More importantly, balancing TH10 and 11 war scene as well as higher league cloud timings. (Psst. also engineering please 😅)

I mean, I get that you can't come out and say it because it seems SC's policy is to be as vague as possible for as long as possible. But, there really can't be a "won't happen." While I think the BB has generally been accepted, the main village is still the bread and butter of CoC. If you don't eventually provide something massive like a new TH and the things that come with it, then you're intentionally neglecting a significant portion of your following. Obviously, that's SC's choice, but I don't see SC abruptly ending the main villages journey at TH11.

Another TH would be a disaster right now I think, I would prefer a new defense, troop, DE troop. Balancing some troops, and maybe even a new hero. A whole new TH anytime this year would be a bad idea, exspecially with the BH being involved, IF TH12 happens, I cannot see it until 2018 or later

New townhall level or massive upgrades to current townhall 11 either of them would be great. I hope the developers have not forgot about the main village as they are focused on upgrades and fixes from builder hall village right now.
