Schon mal über CrowdFunding nachgedacht? Warte schon so sehnsüchtig auf Version 1.0
Vermute aber mal dass würde UBISoft nicht nicht gefallen...

---

hm, aber würde mehr geld auch gleichzeitig mehr zeit zur arbeit am projekt bringen?

Also das Projekt wird immer kostenlos bleiben und auch nie durch Werbung finanziert werden - ich denke nicht, dass das im sinne von den Gründern ist.

There's no need for advertising in crowd funding. I know of 2 crowd funding services,
kickstarter and indiegogo. I think kickstarter is only for the US and UK, but indiegogo can be
used by everyone. And no ads.
I think the principle is: people give you money, you in turn deliver the work on time (features,
new versions etc). If you don't, you return the money. That's how it goes ;)

Settlers 2 rocks!

but what for?
as far as i know there are time problems and not money problems. so more money won't help the project in the same way like new programmers would do, right?

Well, if you get enough money with crowdfunding, you may want to abandon your real life job,
then you will have all the time in the world to focus on the software you're making (rttr!) ;)

Btw I know some programming, can I be of any help? I've been developing a mod for warcraft III
for about 3 years. But I know little of serious C++ programming (but willing to learn if
necessary!).
Also I am relatively fluent in English so I could write some english stuff for the site.
Although I know 0 (zero) german! :D

ok, abandon the real life job >could< be an option. especially if it's a bad job :-D

but i think this would automatically limit the number of project members again, because they all wants and needs to be paid.
so, the project could lose the "free" programmers that wants to be paid, too.

(sorry, no offense. crowdfounding is good but i just want to play through the possible negative effects for the project)

Do you really think, that the crowd of RttR is large enough to get enough money to leave your rl job? I don't think so. Also most of the current Devs are not working, they are students and do their work or did, because they wanted to create something, maybe they already lost their interest in the project, nobody knows ;) Maybe it's a good idea but I don't think for this project :-/ (Just need to keep in mind that the new race is more than 2 years in development :p)

Man könnte das Repository nach GitHub umziehen und http://bountysource.com/ verwenden um zweckgebundene Spenden zu ermöglichen.

---

wie sieht das eigentlich steuerrechtlich mit spenden aus?
hatte auch mal die idee spenden zu nehmen für die serverkosten, aber hab keine ahnung wie das angerechnet wird...

hi,

Die erhaltenen "Spenden" sind nichts anderes als Einnahmen aus einer freiberuflichen Tätigkeit.

Muss man also "nur" bei seiner Steuererklärung als Einnahmen deklarieren.
