Ok so I know this is not free, but it's darn near it. Charlie (developer of Bullet Candy) is trying to raise some money to enter his new game Scoregasm and one of his newer games in the IGF. He is asking for donations, and he is awarding prizes for donations here are the prizes:

$1 - A copy of Bullet Candy Perfect
$10 - A copy of Scoregasm when it's released
$15 - A copy of Scoregasm and Beta releases
$25 - All that and he will include your name in the credits for both games

Now the $1 price for Bullet Candy is it's normal price, so you're not getting anything extra except the knowledge that you helped a good developer get more of his games acknowledged. I think it's a worthy cause and I've already donated. Though I'd love to donate the 10, I'm a little strapped for cash so I donated $5.

Thanks for the update midori, he's posted that the above prizes will still be in effect for those who are still interested.

So I've been discussing this with Charlie and he's agreed to do a separate promotion for Giveaway members. He's going to create a separate donate button for Giveaway to use. If we can raise $25, he will include "GiveawayOfTheDay Forum Members" in the credits for both games. You will still get your corresponding game downloads, and he's agreed to give a license of Scoregasm to me to use in a promotion for the Steam group. I think this is an excellent opportunity for us gamers here on the forums to stand up and represent ourselves. I'm encouraging all the members who can to donate, even if it's just $1. I'll update as soon as I have more specifics (i.e. where to find the button.) Let's get Charlie a good turnout!

I just got through donating a couple of bucks. Is cknight one of the creators or is he just helping with donations? I guess I could hop over to wowinterface and track down his real name or over at ace.com, but I thought it easier to ask.
-----------------------------
edit:paypal receipt says richard, so I guess he's helping,

saw your post after will repost

Ok, Charlie is asking that instead of a button, that when you make a donation you note in the comments section on paypal that you are from GOTD. So if you're a gamer and want a shot at winning Scoregasm but don't have the money to donate $10, donate what you can and you'll have a shot at scoring a copy.

For those who downloaded before they added GOTD to the comment field, please pm me with your name so Charlie credits us for the donation. =) Thanks

I got an update from Charlie last night...GOTD is up to $19 in donations. All we need is another $6 to reach the goal. I've not received any messages from anyone who may have donated before Charlie agreed to our little promotion. If you did donate beforehand, please PM me so we make sure we get credited for it.

Thank you for that Stephen. Charlie has confirmed that we have reached our goal of $25. He has agreed to enter "GiveawayOfTheDay Forum Members" in the game credits, but wants to know what the members wish to be referred as in the readme for the games. PM me and let me know so we can make sure everyone gets included =)

I think it would be cool to have my name or even a screen name of mine in the credits of a game, but I don't feel like I donated enough to be worthy of such an individual honor.
I had planned to donate 5 or so more dollars at the 1st, when my check came in, but even with that I would still feel the same way.

I am good giving the honor to Forum itself.

Unless its like prestige thing with programmers to have a bunch of names at the end of their games, then go ahead and add my screen name or if wants real names, just pm me I'll give it to you.

Thankyou for asking us.

Well he has too many people to list in the actual game itself so he decided on the Forum Members, but he has plenty of room to list individuals in the readme that accompanies the games. If you'd rather have your screen name than your name, that's fine. It may be best for the individuals themselves to e-mail charlie with the e-mail they provided during donating to let him know. I know private information is a touchy area in these days and ages so for those who are not comfortable giving their names, I encourage you to do so. You can find his e-mail address on this site as it is against policy to post the actual e-mail. If you do decide to PM me to tell Charlie to use your screen name, you will still need to provide your name so he can keep track of everyone as all he has is your real name.

Any news on this Wizz?

none as of yet. He does have a post on his site that he was shooting for a January release but it still feels unfinished to him. Hopefully he'll polish it off by the end of this month.

just bringing this back. what happens when it's released wizz, do we just get our names in the credits or do we get a game as well. (Or do we have to purchase that seperately). I'm not too bothered about having to donate more if i have to, but it would be good to know. :)

If you donated $10 or more you yourself will get a copy of the game. The group as a whole gets a copy to be used as a promotional prize for the steam group.
