Hi
 
First, thanks for offering!
 
I'm still developing the game on my own. However an old friend of mine (@Glawing on this forum) is helping me out with both advice and some future marketing strategies. But as of development the team is still one man strong =)
 
Actually, it's not the first time I've got this question and I'm overwhelmed with the commitment shown by you who play this game. Thanks a lot! I've always meant to be open for others contributing but I always thought I'd just finish the next feature first. In order to let others contribute I need to get things enough structured to avoid code/commit chaos. It shouldn't be a problem though, I already have all the right tools and knowledge but it will take some time to set things up I guess.
 
Let me do some more thinking on how to best approach such a scenario. Meanwhile, all of you interested in contributing please send me a resume of your background and coding skills. Either add to this topic or send me an PM. Preferable skills include MVC .NET, CSS, Javascript and experience with document databases (NoSQL).

Centers are obviously scarce. There is abundance of goalies and defenders. However, so many young defenders with great GHL potential have been drafted by AI teams so they are sh!t and useless for GHL teams nowadays. 


PS: Fuck you Vanscoy Templars for having those 2 finnish youngsters. I was supposed to create a finnish GHL team. Seriously, fuck you.

Edit: IIRC It's been a while since there was a real prodigy talent on draft -> overal 80+, capable of jumping into GHL right away

PS. I like my finnish players too Even though i force them to play on a losing team (;

Hey,

i'm not sure what email address to use to contact Anders so i'll just write it here. I would like to help you(Anders) or your team(not sure if you're still developing this game on your own) with game development. I really enjoy this game and have all kinds of ideas in my head. Also there are tons of ideas from other players. Another thing is UI, which is quite bad so i could rework it. I don't expect a reward, i just want to help speed up the development of new features and improve the game. That should attract and more importantly retain more users.

What do you think ? Is a codevelopment possible ?

Title says it all. My best forward got injured for !!! 37 fraking days !!! and i can't sign at least a decent replacement. So if any players gets injured for let's say at least 10? 15? days, exclude his contract from salaries.
