did write a long post about this explaining what inspired it, how it would work etc. then i realized no1 cared. So here it is summarised.

Add a progress bar along with your donations. Everytime somebody donates to you, fill it more and more depending on the donation size. The fuller it gets, the more work you do on your next game. Release progress screenies every now and then to keep peoples wallets open you never know, it could work well.I'd gladly start off the donations tbh.

of course, theoretically it looks like a good idea but when put into practise i expect itd be severely retarded.

I think making awesome games and then giving out a SE with extra features for a small tip works well enough.

And depending the amount of work on the amount users spend is kind of stupid. I mean, Yahtzee is no machine that spits out games depending on the amount you throw in.
It's kind of like forcing the people to pay for the game.
"I'm lacking any ideas for a new game now, but clicking that Donate button right down there could suddenly give me some. *hint* *hint*"

But that's probably just me.

I guess it would be better and easier to just buy the SEs, tshirt, email harrass David Kyo until he does the same, and buy the Chzo stuffed dolly when it will be available.

That made me laugh out loud.

Still, it'd be one hell of a big dolly. Throw in a Tall Man and it'd be perfect.

Now how the hell did I get into the equation??

It's really difficult to come by those credit cards in Hungary that you can use over the 'net, and even if you match the criteria, there's a fucking long administrative hassle with the bank. So if you guys would be willing to speed up this process, I'll be happy to oblige.

Actually it would have been Gobbler but I wasn't completly certain whether or not Gobbler bought the SEs.

'We're all stingy to overwork the man'? What's this, have I become his customer? The guy makes a few games and suddenly he is obliged sympathy?

I don't owe Yahtzee anything, and I would like to keep it that way.

Heh, I knew that Malcom was Malcom and what was inside Adam's locker way before other people did. It's all in a day's work for a fanboy like me.

Yahtzee, about how much money in total have you made from giving out the SE's to donators? If I were you I would use the money to buy lots of salt pork to throw at pedestrians.
