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.
