    Development Fundraiser

    ____________________________________________________________
    THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER

    Thanks to everyone for participating and making this fundraiser successful!
    ____________________________________________________________

    Hello FFR! Welcome to the Development Fundraiser!
    (This is 100% unofficial and ran by me as a community member)

    THE CONTEXT

    Last weekend I decided I wanted to host a fundraiser for someone who has been seriously irreplaceable for FFR and who has put a tremendous amount of efforts into it for what feels like forever now. This person is Velocity. As you may or may not know, the game has seen slow but constant progress, with many new little features and bugfixes here and there in the past couple of releases. That being said, there's always a significant difference between small new features and attempting to fix/revamp significant portions of the game; the code is relatively messy due to being very old, and it's a serious puzzle to tackle some of its most tangled parts.

    Obviously, it would be a bit dull to just make a random fundraiser with no specific reward for the community (even though Velo more than deserves one regardless lol). So, we agreed on one

    THE GOAL

    One incredibly underwhelming part of FFR at the moment is Multiplayer. It has many bugs that make the overall experience very sub-par and unenjoyable for the most part. Velocity has already started some work on a serious redo of the multiplayer side of FFR, but there's a good amount of work left. So basically this fundraiser would serve both as an incentive for Velo to complete that and as a thank you gift for all those years of involvement as the main dev.

    THE MONEY

    If you wish to contribute, you may PM me here on FFR or send me a DM on Discord so I can give you the payment details. I will be gathering the contributions and make one final transfer to Velo; if you wish to remain anonymous or make the contribution a surprise for the final reveal, I can also manage that. The public contributions will be listed on here as soon as I get them, with the anonymous ones simply not having the username listed. The surprise ones (if any) will be listed here at the end of the event. Finally, I will be pitching in an initial amount to start this off; feel free to contribute any amount you're comfortable with, this is not a contest.

    Note that I already hosted a major fundraiser on FFR before (for the Death Piano AAA bounty, which was won by Jakads), and I do Not do any funny business with your money.

    ==============================================

    Deadline: I plan to keep this up for roughly a month. If for whatever reason you wanted to contribute but would need a bit more than that, just let me know and we'll figure it out.

          You'll be seeing a contribution from me in the coming weeks. I've been saying for the longest time owl man deserves a paycheck and I'd be more than happy to contribute towards one

                Even though Velo and I dont talk, I still appreciate all the hard work he puts into this site! (Along with any and all other staff)
                I have some bills coming up but also working some serious overtime since summer is the busy season at work. Ill be chipping in a decent chunk before this ends.
                Thanks again, Velocity!

                  I've got something in-mind but I'll be sending it directly so, I won't be part of the pool but it will reach its destination.

                    Sure. I mean I could still add you to the list if you want and velo confirms he gets it. I'm just here to simplify things for him by providing a single transfer and also to make this more event-like because that's fun~

                      He already sent it. He has the address and I can't stop him.

                          Keep it going guys~ Share with your family and friends and pets, show em how much we thank Velocity for all his hard work ^^ Think how cool it'd be to also contribute to the serious effort that is the Multiplayer rework!
