Looks like they listened to you after all and came out with a manual type post

Yep and the content is exactly what I was looking to understand from the start. There was too many features not easily understood for me to enjoy it. I have a couple of days left on my demo so trying to finalize if I want to purchase.

I see what you mean. It helped me as well to read what they wrote to your answers ;D

I like the game and bought it already. Looks like they are working on a patch to fix some issues which is also a good sign.

Although there are some things I don't care for, there seems to be enough of a good game for me to likely make the purchase as well.

Wasserlasser · February 08, 2014, 05:08:36 PM

To be honest, I am hoping for an annual release/update so the 20 Dollars are an investment in the future *lol*

Although it likely will require an annual purchase of $20:)

Touché my friend. Well, if EA gets my 50 Dollars each year for a new cover on the DVD case I guess it is worth it...

Agreed, as long as new content and features get improved...think $20 is fair.

So, it has been a fun year.
As you know, the game GM Hockey Legacy was released early this year. I had planned to buy the company so that future releases can be secured but that did not work out due to different reasons.

Now, months later, we have released the first new version of the game. It is for the DEL, the German hockey league, and can be found on our new website www.bionic-salmon.com
We will also release an NHL version later this year and have other games coming out as well.
Now, with me owning this company, I can assure you that nothing will dissapear from the web anymore like it did with the other company.

Come, check it out, test the game for free and give us your feedback.

Interesting.

Another publisher/developer split? May be a good thing. O0

It is more a "Programmer is looking for a better business partner" kind of thing :-)

Are you the actual programmer or the new business partner? In your past posts, I thought you were just someone who played the game but in your recent posts you seem to imply your part of the product now where you say you own the company. If your not the programmer, is the original person still part of the team or someone new? Just curious.

Personally, I am hesitant to purchase the game since if I am not mistaken the game has disappeared twice now after releasing past versions. I know you say it wont happen again, but not sure why it would be different this time around where we should give it a go. Post game support and an active community using the game are important to me.

Wasserlasser · November 19, 2014, 05:14:25 AM

I am the owner of the company. The programmer is the same as before and came with me to the new company.
I can not and will not go into details on what happened earlier this year as this is not professional. I just can say that we have not been able to find a solution that allowed us to sell the game under the same brand without compromising the result.
Now we are independent from all that, own all the rights we need to own under our own name and can move forward into the direction we want.

I can not speak for anything that happened before January 2014, but I know the reasons for it. From my end, these things will not happen now because I actually know what needs to be done with a company to comply with all rules, regulations and laws.

Of course I can tell you a lot, so the only thing I can say is that you can check out my own website which is online for over 5 years now with an active community so you can see that I am not going anywhere (www.wasserlasser.de).
You can also check out the forum on our new site and see what is going on there. We started from scratch on purpose because we did not want to carry around old baggage. So we have a new name, told old customers where we are and left it up to them if they wanted to join us on this adventure or not.
You can check out the quality of the product by downloading the unrestricted version to test free for several days. That way you can make up your mind and if there are any concerns you can be the one that posts it in our forum and then you can see if the support is up to your demands or not. The only thing you would commit to, is spend some time with the product. No money is needed to test the game and you can be part of the people that builds this new community.
And of course you can always contact me directly (easiest is through any of the contact options on our websites - www.bionic-salmon.com)

I hope this answered some of the questions you had and if there are more, let me know.

Grim.Reaper · November 19, 2014, 05:45:17 AM

Thanks for the detail and hope things work out this time. Since I already tried the past demo, I already have a reasonable idea on how things play. Therefore, I'll be more monitoring the situation to ensure there is longevity this time around and if so, then maybe I'll give it a purchase at some point.

I am hoping the developer is more accepting to questions this time around since that helps build a community. When I asked questions in the past, he seemed to take offense that anybody would ask questions about the game and I believe even once told me to go and play the competitors game instead. My questions were actually genuine since there was no user manual at release that explained how any of the game mechanics worked. Really turned me off that he appeared so aggressive towards a potential new customer. They eventually did start to create and post a manual online to help, but by that time the game disappeared.

Again, I wish the team luck and if things turn out well, certainly will give another look at it, especially if the game evolves with the new release.

Let's be honest, programmers are programmers so they to that best. I am in sales, so I am here to answer all the questions.
We call it teamwork ;)

Thanks for the kind words and wishes
