I’ve recently been thinking of how to give away games for free but also with a little encouragement for people to donate to help me keep going – and maybe even let me buy my ever-suffering wife a Christmas present.

My reasoning was maybe access to the high score board of future games could just go to people who donate after playing (or even before of they want to) while everyone still gets a 100% full featured game still with a local high-score board.

Remakes should be free, but hopefully this side-steps the issue in a fairly ok way.

The remake or original game will still be free but if you want the bragging rights of showing off your score and putting it online on the official score board then you help to keep a poor starving coder in coffee.

Where’s the irony I hear you ask? I was looking at the high scores stuff on the site and on my previous games again and noticed that the database stuff had gone wrong and high scores weren’t uploading or downloading for a while – and no one had noticed. Well if they have, no one had brought it to my attention anyway.

Maybe they would have if I had actually coded a game this year though. LOL

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Would you be happy with things working this way? Perhaps COB can test the waters and see how it goes.
