Accepting donations
Today I created a Paypal account where you can make donations to the project.
My plan is not to get rich that way. And the game is still free.
The rationale is that I decided to make versions of RoR for MacOS and for Linux, and that I need more hardware to do that. From the beginning, RoR is a $0 budget hobby for me, and I intend to keep it that way. So I turn to donation to buy the appropriate hardware.
Here is what I need:
- MacOS port: a Mac mini (starting at Eur 619.00)
- Linux port: an external hard drive (around Eur 100.00)
Thanks,
Pierre-Michel

The only thing that worrys me is that im going to be donating for something I will never use and also have to wait for months on end before we would get another windows release.
On the positive side, it may bring in some more 'talent' to the community, and maybe make the game more well known.

There is no obligation to donate.
I opened donations to make the porting of RoR toward other platforms possible.
I don't do RoR for the money.

danharibo, thanks for the proposition, but I prefer to keep a tight control on the source code.
I don't do RoR for the money, but as the project grows, I want to keep the property of the code in case of an eventual selling or commercialization in a distant future. It's not my plan for the moment, but I want to keep this option open.

Can you make a version for 64-bit windows. The current one does work on xp x64 but does not use all the recources that are available in 64-bit. For example more memory alocation and grafic features.

you should just finish the crane and make it 0.29 that would be fun!

I 100% agree with Questnl above.

hey pricord any new news on the crane or the police?
21/9/06 23:54
does anyone knows a date??
23/9/06 14:54
a date of release :p
23/9/06 17:06
urm im guessing soonish, im sure it wont be too long,
23/9/06 17:18
I would estimate 2 to 3 weeks because Pricorde took some time out after 0.28. You also have to remeber that as the game get bigger it gets more complex and things take longer, so in the near future I guess that instead of getting a release once every month it will be once every 2 months then 3 months and so on as it grows.
23/9/06 17:24
No please! :) RoR are getting better and i can't wait for releases!

What do you need the external hard drive for? Are you that short on disk space? Linux can run in a pretty small space.
