I've tried this game like 8 to 10 times, started a new franchise at start of the season (yet again) and hope this time won't get bored / frustrated with the game.....cannot help with any kind of computer skills but willing to help with some financial backing for the community buy out project Last edited on 2023-10-08 at 22:46

Hello
Sorry about the lack of informations.
Been struck with some health issues between our team.

Yes, the project is still active.
We just need a couple of weeks to sort our issues and we'll get back to work.

Happy to see that we still have some kind of interest and/or help offers.

We'll get back to you asap, after our weekly meeting from each saturday (in 2 weeks time)

Take care of you and have a good week !!

Just wanted to let everybody know that this project is now closed and there will be no buy-out.

Owner gave everything the initiative wanted (tech info, financials and even some code snippets).
After the info was passed to initiative along with the price (that changed after there were additional costs moving the game to the new server - initiative knew this in advance) there was no updates and no questions to owner anymore.

Owner let initiative know about a month ago, that in order to get this done, the deal must be reached by 31.10.2023 and that after that date he is not willing to sell the game to initiative anymore.

After that, the owner never received another update, question, let alone the bid.

Owner was only prepared to sell this game to serious and responsible owner that would be willing to take GI forward, and he at first believed this initiative could be it.
But, the whole thing is now seen as not serious by the owner and so this project (and this topic) are now both closed.

One more clarification is needed (we already got few PMs about it).

No engine code was ever revealed to initiative members.
They got to see a few 100 lines of PHP and C/C++ code and no engine parts were ever revealed to them, so no, they won't have any advantage in the game itself.

Just wanted to make this crystal clear.

And one more clarification - of course the game won't close now.
As long as the game is supported at least to the point that it doesn't lose money, the owner has no intention on closing the game up.

So, no changes there.
