How to fund? #293

Closed JordanPlayz158 closed 1 month ago

JordanPlayz158 commented 1 month ago

I was looking through the readme and contributing file but didn't see a place for funding, do you guys support funding as I would like to help out this project so hopefully games like Zombie Farm aren't lost to time.

Personally, I previously accepted donations, but I have stopped doing this. It wasn't enough to cover my living expenses, so it couldn't replace a job, and it creates an expectation I will spend a significant amount of my time on the project, which I was no longer managing to do.

I don't know how other contributors feel.

Yeah, that is fair, same reason I don't accept donations on my projects. Just asked as my brother was gonna go get an old Apple device to play it (Zombie Farm) but thought it would do infinitely more good on a project like this one but I completely understand, thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I think it would be nice to have "support project" or "tip a developer" functionality associated to the touchHLE.

But this should not be considered as "pay to make game X work", but as "appreciate your work, here is a tip"
