However, during last month or so, I have had a plan hatching. And it
is a cunning plan. But I need your generosity to go through with it.
The plan, simply, is to design and create a computer game, targeted
for mobile platform such as Android and possibly others.
I have the game idea mostly formulated, details are probably going to
change as with any such project, and there are NO GUARANTEES that I
can get this project finished. I cannot guarantee a time table either.
What I can tell, however, is that as many of you know, I have extensive
experience in programming, and dabble in graphics. For audio and music,
I can probably get someone, but that would be a problem for later date.
I also have programmed games before, though not for last 10+ years
until 2011, when I created this little Java-based game:

The game I am planning, is nothing like that, though. What I can and am
willing to reveal about the idea at this point, is that it is a puzzle
game that borrows some from "Bomber Man", but with heavy flavor of "The
Incredible Machine".
So, what am I asking from you then? Generosity, mainly. Donate a bit, and
hopefully we can reach the approximate 2000 EUR I estimate I need to live
through next few months. If that happens, I will be working on this game
and while I can't make any promises about getting it finished (or finished
in few months, at least), I promise the following:
1) If the project progresses, I will post occasional progress reports
somewhere. Perhaps a blog, we'll see.
2) Everyone who has donated at least 5 EUR, will get a free copy of the
game, and will be credited in a "thank you" list of some sort in the
game's credits. You can stay anonymous, if you so wish, of course.
3) Beta testing versions will be available to donaters.
4) I will use the money for living expenses (mainly rent), and if there
is enough left, I will use that to buy a reasonably powerful Android
based phone for the final stages of the development.
