DGMurdockIII Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I would like to see Flattr donation supported if it isn't already supported http://flattr.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k776 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 We're currently using Paypal for donations, and a service called Pledgie (http://pledgie.com/campaigns/14160), which directs money to that paypal account.Flattr looks interesting. After the Pledgie has ended, I'll take another look. However, it does look like it's a regular payment thing, which most people may not want to get involved with.

wayland Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hello there! I have posted a message on the IRC board, wraitii advised to post it in the forums, as developers read it more often.So, I discovered Flattr a week ago and yesterday wanted to make a donation for 0 A.D. using it. But k776's message is the only way to find the donation page -- even Flattr search doesn't find 0AD page!I suggest you could significantly improve the contributions count through Flattr if there were several things made:1) A button on the main page. Just like the one at GIMP.org.2) Better search tags and a name on Flattr page. I tried to search for "0AD" (6 results, but no real page), "0 A.D." and "0 AD" (found nothing). I think it is possible to place all 3 names in description or a name. By the way, it would be great to call it "official" -- people won't be confused.3) And add flattr option on the "Donations" page, of course. It's strange that it still isn't there.And this are kind wishes, I know that you work intensively and, for me, the game gets better and better! The best RTS on Linux for me, on par with Spring.P.S. I think that microdonation services like Flattr have true potential, because people want to keep all money in one place and to donate automatically. It's suprising that people nowadays know that it is good to support devs and this is, in my opinion, the model for the future. Not huge revenues like corporate software, of course, but now you can make opensource software and get well paid for it. That is the true balance. You just have to spread your word and let people know how to support you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabio Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Adding a donation link inside the game would also be nice (maybe also add a pop-up reminder after 10th run or something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraitii Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'd be against a pop-up reminder, I usually find those things more annoying than anything else. I would be all-right with an in-game button though (to trick the player: in the "you won" screen ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayland Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I agree, popup is too much. Maybe... a link? (a button with in the main menu, not annoying, but perfectly visible)And it allows to see all ways how to make a donation. Any other ideas?

fireprog Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I thought 0 A.D. had flattr in the past and it got removed.Since I've donated to 0 A.D. through Flattr before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k776 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes, Flattr has been setup since 2011-10-20, it just hasn't been advertised much.Over the last 18 months it's been running, we've got €189.05 ($246.73 USD) from people Flattr'ing us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
