If you wish to support development of Traces of Illumination, feel free to donate to the project. So far (2011-01-23), I've invested about 173 person days, which means around 1400 hours of my time. Using my hourly rate as freelance software-engineer, this would amount to an investment of around EUR 80,000.00. Besides, I have actual monthly costs for Web / database and game servers (that makes around EUR 200.00 per month).

One challenge developing an independent game is funding and finding the right balance between for-pay work and getting the game ready. Any donation certainly helps a lot to tip that balance more towards the getting the game ready-side ;-)

What's in it for you? Like the first 10 users that registered on this site, the first 10 donations will receive a blog posting giving thanks (unless you'd rather not have this mentioned). Donations of EUR 100.00 or more will give you life-time player access to Traces of Illumination (you won't ever have to pay monthly subscription fees; "life-time" means "life-time" of Traces of Illumination or your life-time ;-) ). Donations of EUR 200.00 will get you into the game's credits as generous donor.

This project no longer accepts donations.

RaMtiGA and Traces of Illumination are no longer in development, and the payment details that stood here — a Bitcoin address, a bank account and a PayPal button — are long out of use. They have been removed. The rest of this page is kept as it was, as part of the archive.
