Pentagram donations

Post by Neo »

This project intrigues me. I'd like to donate a respectable sum of money to the development team of Pentagram. How would I do this?

This was once suggested for Exult but they stated clearly that they do not want donations because EA could interfere if they get money in any way related to EA's stuff.

Seeing how EA reacted at the semi-commercial Reborn I guess it's the best for the project if it stays this way.

Thanks, but while we really appreciate your offer, we (i.e., the Pentagram team) really can't accept any donations.

We'll still try to make Pentagram the best U8 engine ever, though ;-)

Contributions in the form of code, documentation, bug reports, etc... are of course very welcome.

maybe you'd accept contributions in the form of hardware, books, pizza?

About 10 months ago, I would have liked a donation in the form of a job:-) (I'm happily employed now.)

Really, one of the most important things needed by most open-source developers is a steady source of income, which, for most of us, means employment.

Move to Italy. Sun (if you like it) and endless need for coders ;)

Really? I'll remember that the next time I'm looking for work (hopefully, not for a while...). I thought programmers in Europe were experiencing the same problems as here in the US.

In the Netherlands they are. A close friend of mine recently lost his job, and has a hard time of it finding a new one.

Pentagram is an U8 engine program??? I would love to try it, it runs in Windows XP can it?
I've only played U8 once, that's why I'm so excited to hear about this Pentagram! :)
Where do I can find Pentagram homepage?
Thanks!
