Hello,
We are all sad to know that Jacob_ can't work on Buildism anymore, and that the site will be closed sooner or later. This, however, is almost unavoidable; we should stop trying to change his mind because we all know he took the right decision after all. Since he's going to college, he won't have time for Buildism, so instead of abandoning it and the closed-source game, he decided to open-source it so that someone else may be able to continue it later.
For Jacob_, I have the following idea:
I would like, with your permission of course, to create a public repository of the game code and allow for users to submit patches, as well as pick a team to maintain it. I would also advise to put a license, so that people don't steal the code. This is a way for people to contribute to the game and make it better and better.
Please tell me what you think about it.
