New Donations

I've decided to change how I do donations, you can now donate $2 and be added to a mailing list which will send out with the latest version of After Hours Island development build before the public gets it. Think of the cost as buying an App for your mobile phone.

Question: Why $2 and not $1?
Answer: Fees. After conversion rates and PayPal's cut, $1 ends up more like $0.25 cents or less on my end.

Question: Do I have to keep donating every month to keep receiving development versions?
Answer: Initially, no. You'll be notified when $2 a month rolls out.

Question: Why not Patreon?

Answer: I did have a Patreon for several months but it didn't pick up any momentum (Understandably), for non-US residents you have to go through US Tax and a whole bunch of hoops to receive the money you earn. For the amount potentially received it wasn't worth the effort and I didn't want the money to be chewed up by unnecessary fees and cuts.

Question: Is the game still free?
Answer: Always, by donating you gain access to the earlier development versions (Donation Only) and stable releases a week before they go public.

Question: Why should I donate if its free?
Answer: To keep the game alive! Donations can go a long way to help me out personally to give me more time to work on this and continue to do future updates.

I'll be adding additional donation options soon, keep an eye on the Donations page. I'm looking at doing content request donations, for example for $10 you can get a custom texture for a piece of clothing such as a dress. (Actual prices are yet to be listed) Then it'll be sent to you and added into the games next release.

I feel that this system will let you directly gain the features and content you want and help the development at the same time. I will also include options for private content as well.
