I've a problem regarding donation...

I think about over last week I donated (paid?) $5 to yahtzee to obtain a SE game. My first mistake was, after I submitted my donation, I then realized that my paypal primary email had already expired. So I saved the html invoice and changed my primary email to a new one.

A day after I didn't receive any reply for the game, so I emailed yahtzee@yahoo to inform my new email and I also metioned the invoice ID. Until now I still haven't got a reply. Maybe my email got blocked or something, I don't know.

So now I'm posting here, hoping the author will notice me and would help. I really want trilby's notes SE.

email me on yahtzee19@hotmail.com with your name and date of donation and I'll see if I got it.

how do you do it? when you receive the donation do you give an FTP adress, do you have a special link that you give to the people and they download it or what? you could probably set up a pay system like those game sites where they access the download after you pay.

You couldn't be more wrong. Yahtzee actually zips and saves the game to a 3.5" floppy and fires it out of a cannon towards your house. If you're lucky, it will crash through your window and go directly into your A: drive.

Yah, if you're lucky. Damn thing killed my landlord and injured several people around with the shrapnel... which kinda makes me über-lucky, I guess.

There are subtle legal differences between getting a surprise bonus for donating a certain amount of money (where you can pretend that you had donated the money for purely altruistic reasons, and the author of the game can pretend that he had gotten so touched by the gesture that he sent a little something your way) and getting a download right after paying a certain amount of money. As far as I know, games made with AGS can't be price-tagged, unless you go through a series of legal shit.

I've definitely seen an AGS game that asks for payment before... something to do with Judaism. *digs it up* Ah yes, here we are.

EDIT: I just realised what I just said about payment and Judaism. Rather than be shocked and apologetic I'm cracking up.

I did reply you spag. Sent the URL and everything. And since I always send it the moment I get the donation, I'm pretty certain I sent it the first time as well. Does Paypal have your right email address?

Maybe the emails were blocked by some anti spam program.

I had heard about that before. The game was great when it was free and didn't have shitty voice acting, or crappy "modern" sprites.

Yeah, I'm like the King of Thread-Jacking by now, but I agree about the crappy modern sprites. Give me old-school, classic adventure game sprites any day. I just want the game to be fun.

I'm not sure whether to laugh my balls off or be scared that he refers to his paying fans as 'spags'. blink.gif

Mr. Yahtzee would only prostitute himself if he went out-of-character just because someone send him a few bucks.

Actually, this is one area I can agree with Yahtzee on.

Customers are generally scum.
