I will say it again seen as people seem to be ignoring it.
The final released game will be FREE
this system is just so if you like the look of the game, want inside access, up to date wip, and to play some demos of the game while its in development you can,
what this does is for me, helps me financially (a tiny bit) (note the money is split between me and my gfx artist) and also increases incentive to work even harder on the game.
for the user it gives them the chance to do what i specified above.
edit - also, you all want me and my gfx artist to work our assess off on this so you can play this sooner rather than later, and then when we ask something small in return we get flamed over it.... hardly fair is it
Thats cool then - I still think you should make it a donation thing tough :rolleyes:
If you are charging for a service rather than accepting donations surely it becomes taxable income? :eek:
No-one said you asked for opinions, but you are on a forum. So opinions, whether you like it or not, will be given. To be quite honest, after the spats that you have been involved in, it's hardly going to help your rep to do this. Blunt maybe, but true.
to be honest, screw rep.Quote:

For my part Im trying to be constructive! :eek:
That's not true at all. Think back to your little emulator. I posted extremely constructive criticism and help with the code. I'm not making snide digs against you, just telling you my opinion as to how it will turn out, as dej said, you are just going to attract your fanboys anyways.Quote:

I agree fully.Quote:

But to be fair, the scene isn't here to pander to you, my friend. Nothing personal, but the scene is a lot bigger than Zion. The PSP scene is so great right now because of the closeness and cheapness of the scene. It's unfair to expect people to "donate" to one particular coder unless that coder has made some major moves in the scene, such as D_A, ZX, Exophase, StrmnNrmn, etc...Quote:

This is the same thing.
Good that your not against me at least.Quote:

that wasnt the purpose of the post.
If it sickens you that much fkoff then.Why bother coding for the scene ? if thats the contempt you have for it.you gonna throw one of your famous tantrums then come back apologising again hoping eveything will be forgiven ?.Man dont bite the hand that feeds.With all due respect you have alot to learn about ethics and
respecting people contray to what you might think splodgerville population 1 isnt the world.
