Of course arguements developers make in favour of donation are second only to their work, and that! is the thing that is going to convince people to donate, sinse whether its for more sounds or development tools or server space, or heck just buying lots of coffee, if a person likes a developers work theyll donate, (indeed Ive done this myself), if not, not.

Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating SSI maxes out at $700/month. Tip: pay careful attention to how youre going to pay for college *before* you get too far in. You can defer loan payments based on income, but its necessary to indicate that youre working toward increasing income in most cases.The cost of living is quite low where i am, and I dont have rent to pay, so I only need to worry about food (I can make less than $100/month work, but people rightfully disbelieve), utilities (depending on the weather, has been bouncing around but hasnt broken $100 yet), internet (The internet I have is kinda expensive at $50/month. -_-), I can only assume the phone goes onto someone elses bill because I know nothing about it, and then the student loans I cant get deferred (at this point I have no idea how much Im paying, but it looks like *Checks bank account* *Splutter* I have $200 less than I was expecting. Which is to say, I have $215, and it is the middle of the mont h. And the only reasno I have that much is because there was a period where they tried to backpay me and put three months in there all at once.)So, yeah, point is, SSI does not make games happen. Or independence, unless youre incredibly lucky / saw everything coming well enough to plan around it.

Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating
Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating Actually Brad, 700 dollars is close to 500 pounds, not 800, and also while food and other general things in America are cheaper, rent and transport costs I believe can be much higher.The person to talk to about this is tom ward, sinse hes sat and mathematically calculated out all the bennifits. Either way, as I said I dont mind developers asking for living costs as long as theyre working full time, though Im not sure how well this sort of model would work if you were only bringing out a couple of games a year.

Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating Hey key,Ive never played any of your titles, other than your Tactical Battle ones obviously, but I agree that maybe a donation based system would work well for devs that dont want the effort of charging for games. Someone (Im too damn busy to do it so someone else) should set up a decent cross-platform app-store for audio games. That way, an option to include a donation there would be a breeze for users or developers. Would be tricky to create, of course. But no one person has to do it. Just putting the idea out there. As for site hosting, I personally use zymichost. No ads and is free and accessible. Downside is they advertise on your 404 pages, so just dont have broken links and youre alright. They did have some downtime lately, which bothered me, but otherwise theyre alright. Im considering moving on up to a paid one though.

Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating
Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating Hi Key. Your previous titles were worth buying if they were paid, but you decided to make them free, so donating to you will be a cool idea. And Concerning creating webpages, I have created mine a cuple days ago, with a site called wapka.mobi, its free and you can create your own page and forums with it freely, but you cant upload. I dont know if theres a better site, Im sure ther is, but Im very satisfyed with what Ive got myself: you can view mine to see what they let you do, you can find it under my signature. Please note: Im not advertising right now, but I want to let you discuver what you can create with free domains. But for example a site called keyisfull.com is for sure paid, however a site called keyisfull.something.com can be free. Just my thoughts.

Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating
Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating @Keyisfull, fare enough on the donation front, and I agree with Dentin about having a proper website and links, indeed I find it disappointing that your games dont come with one.Im personally not exactly sure on recommending people donate to you so you can buy games for ideas. Myself, Id be far more likely to donate to a developer who had! their own ideas and wanted the money for sounds, development libraries and voice actors. This isnt to put people off donating if they wish, just that that particular reasoning doesnt quite sit right with me.I also confess, that personally while Ill gladly donate to many developers, Im afraid Im not personally convinced enough by your previous titles. While both Battle zone and damage extreme had many features, and obviously a lot of sounds and music gathered from around the net, I wasnt sure either about game design, p lot or over all planning. Battle zone for example seemed to be more a matter of hammering buttons when enemies were clos in position, rather than playing tactically, and while I appreciated the random elements of the game the fact of their randomness was negated for me by the fact that essentially your response to most threats was the same, ie, hammer buttons as quickly as possible. I personally wouldve liked to see some more varienty in what the player did, and the games challenge being presented more evenly rather than swamping the player in many sounds and enemies. With damage extreme the gameplay was more even and I did like the trophy system, but again the plot and text of the game didnt quite feel as well connected as it could have done. in addition again, at later levels much of the games mechanics and threats came down to navigating many sounds and being swamped with enemies. This hopefully explains why I am not donating myself, sinse while I am absolutely in favour of supporting audio game developers I am not sure about the game design in your previous titles. howver as I said, I wouldnt discourage other people from developing if they wish (I admit Im a hard chap to please in game terms), and I definitely would like to be proved wrong on this in the future.

Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating
Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating Hi.First off, I think that dark is right.There wasnt really much plot in battel zone. And it did feel like kill such and such enemy then go rite and jump over a few pits and done. I understand that programming is hard and that developers need to eat But if Im being honest Ive herd that one before and dont like it.Ive not herd that from you but I cant remember where I herd it but it felt like I was being guilt tricked into buying there title as in, oh no, this person needs money for food because where they are at the moment is hard for them so Ill help them. Dont you get s s i? I think thats what its called in America.As for donating. I wouldnt just yet, if battel zone or other games you made had better plots and more of a replay valiue then yes Id consider it.Also Id highly recommend making a site of your own so that its easier for those that want to donate to do so.I dont know of any sites that offer you a service where they make sites for you or give you a sertan ammount of memmory though, so cant help with that.

Re: Help your developer make cooler games by donating I really liked battle zone. Although addicting, it was never finished and still had lots of bugs. As for plot, I never really saw it as a game that really needed all that much. It feels more like an arcade experience to me.Im not prepared to donate atm, but I could consider making a contribution in the form of a little webserver space so you could host your website.
