I look forward to the release of Zompocolyps. I do, however have one
question. Why can’t I post my score in Super Liam? Everytime I try, an
error message appears. Eric.

I’ve happily purchased all of the games, but if they were to become
freeware, that wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. I feel that I was
doing
my best to support you when I bought the games, and if selling
them/generating keys has gotten to the point where it’s not worth it,
that
makes perfect sense to me. It’s a tricky question: on one hand, you put
a
lot of work into the games, so if people are still willing to buy them,
that’s money in your pocket. On the other hand, it sounds like making
them
freeware could make your life a lot easier, so it’s ultimately up to you
what you decide. I’m just saying that as someone who purchased them, I
wouldn’t be in the least bit upset to see them go free now. I hope that
helps and makes at least a little sense. Good luck with whatever you end
up
deciding to do.

An update including questions and answers regarding Super Liam and
Judgment
day
Since the announcement that I will no longer be selling Super Liam or
Judgment day, I have received a lot of email asking what exactly is
going
on. My answers to some common questions are below.
1. What's the deal here?
Super Liam and Judgment Day were written 10 and 8 years ago
respectively.
The technology that they run on is both outdated and difficult to
program
for. Both games were written with visual basic 6 which is now considered
Legacy software. Being able to both support and make updates to these
games
is difficult at best.
2. Why don't you just set them free?
One of my major decisions in not making these games abandonware is there
are
customers who have spent their hard earned money in purchasing these
games,
and I feel making the game freeware is a huge slap in the face to them.
I
don't want to punish people for helping to support game development.
3. Now that the games are no longer being sold will you give me a free
key?
No. Please see answer two above.
4. What will happen to these games?
As I know there are people who still want to purchase and play them I
have
a
couple of options. My first option is to try and sell them again. This
opens
a few challenges as the system that is being used for computer ID's is a
pain. Having to make a customer re-register every time he or she changes
computers is ridiculous. I also work a full-time job so creating keys
when
machines change can be time-consuming. My second option is to release
them
as freeware. Answer two explains why I really don't want to do this.
I realize that this is frustrating for many people, so I would love to
hear
from you. Do you feel that if you're a previous customer it is fair that
future generations be able to play for free? Send an email along letting
me
know why or why not. I'd love to hear from you.
