Donations needed
avv:
I'll just say this before someone else says it with more hostile tone.
It doesn't make very good impression on the playerbase if a developer is silent for months only to tell that money is needed to run the server. We got some nice devs like JovankaB, Wipe, Mayck and Johnny Nuclear who participate in discussions here and in irc. But would be nice if the actual old timer devs who got the real say on development could share their ideas of the game and communicate. Or just play the game and see what's it like from the player's point of view. I could even donate so that they could play it.
You could have some goals like capturing a tc town, finding all blueprints or constructing a base next to every town :>
Sucks to be the messenger of ill news but playing the yes-man won't help either.

I will add if the old Dev don't want or can't give more time to 2238, give more power / liberty to the fresh blood. When the server crash most of the time JovankaB, Wipe, Mayck and Johnny Nuclear are online, but they can't restart it, another thing who make 0 sens.

Hmm... :-\
Is it just me or do you accept only monetary contributions to the game? No suggestions or something like that?
--- Quote from: JovankaB on September 30, 2012, 05:44:39 pm ---In the last 2 moths there was over 250 commits (updates) in the server and client repositories.
Many of these were simple things, some other are bigger projects that are still work in progress.

Bigger WIP projects that come unannounced, uh-huh. I see.
--- Quote from: JovankaB on September 30, 2012, 05:44:39 pm ---But really the point is that without donations there will be no public game server and no forum
like this one (might be some small board a on free server for dev use in the best case ). I can
speak only for myself, but my point of view is that it's really mainly for you not for us (or at least
for me). I'm having fun with repository not in the game and it's stored on a free server.
Again - this is only my opinion, but if hundreds of players who play the game can't sustain the
server by cheaping in from time to time, then I don't think a few people who actually spend their
time working on it should jump out of cash to provide YOU a free game to play.

Huh. Was this supposed to make us feel bad?
I work too and earn money (that you want me to donate). In the second shift, i work 'mining', 'crafting' so i can have my fun.
In your second shift you work on the game so you get praised/to feel loved/supreme.
In theory, it's easy, we like your game, we help you out with money. Now i see that many people not really like what you're doing. In addition, you make it sound like "give us money or we close the server", what's not helping the cause.
Or do you want to say that you don't even need playerbase to have fun with developing the game? Or do you expect that there will be always people eating everything you serve? (because it's free and has Fallout stuff in it)

Which is why we didn't posted a message last month. But this month we had to.
