Hi all!
Sorry for the absence of game updates! We're all here lazy / busy-with-real-life / busy-with-fighting-with-inner-demons.
Sadly, it seems to me now that the only way of making the project evolve is giving the whole project to someone else. We'll give it for free.
That new person would be able to earn money from the game.
There are different ways of acquiring the ownership of the project.
BTW it has always been open-source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/destinationsol/
1. You can reuse the game sources to make your own game and start selling it. You won't have to pay us for that. I'll consult you about the source code. (I hope Valve would be OK with that, though.)
2. You can keep the current name, improve the game and (optionally) monetize the game. You won't have to pay us for that. You'll be able to do almost anything with the project. In this case I'll require a person to be adequate and experienced enough. Please provide as much information about your previous experiences as possible. Also would be cool to know about you as a person.
So yeah guys, could you please help it find new owners? Please write me to ps6666@yandex.ru
UPD
Due to the fact that communication with the most of interested people is following the same pattern, here's what I suggest doing if you're interested in taking over the original title:
If you're interested in taking over the original project and title, please at first understand the project structure and start doing something. If it goes well and you indeed produce some new code and you feel that you can keep on doing that, show the sample code to me and we'll discuss the ownership transition.
Shortly saying, I can give you the project ownership only after you've written some real code.
Also, if you're interested in forking the project, I can add some open source licence to the project so that you will have a legal right to use the sources and the name (as well as anybody else).
