Obviously cashflow is adding to what are probably many issues.

I would pre-pay if that would help things along.

Anybody else support that position?

Absolutely would support a paid beta release. Afterall, what release in the last 20 years hasn't required various patches to make them playable, which to me makes them betas until fully playable and committed to all things promised. Plus, this one just looks too fantastic to let fall through the cracks because of funding. You have my vote.

I would pay for a beta.

Me too!!

I would gladly pay for a beta and/or a donation.

Thanks guys, but can I be clear.

I'm not talking about paying for a beta.

I'm talking about pre-paying - ie giving the guys payment for the game up front before we receive anything.

I would call it a punt. And a good one.

I trust absolutely that we wouldn't be ripped off.

Hmmm, that would make me a bit leary, as there are no guarantee's for it to appear. Not doubting your integrity, but there's a chance it turns into vaporware and then where is the consumer if that happens? I have only pre-ordered after there's been at least one release from the company/designer/publisher. Not saying for certain I wouldn't, but would want some sort of guarantee, such as refundability.

A HUGE +1 to that idea .... Flex you know you and AD have a loyal and ready to help following .... and its not charity either .... I can only speak for myself here but I for one am definitely ready to help in any way I can to get CH over the line. A PAYPAL pre-pay account would be great to show that we are with you guys and if it makes life a little easier then that's a bonus

So please have a serious think about it .... we just want to help (and of course the obvious motive of getting our hands on a new sim never entered anyone's minds did it ..... NAH NEVER!!!! )

Cheers

Good idea calmer, though I doubt that Flex would take that money before he have finished a public beta at least.
Sure, I trust in them and I would spent about 35 euros for a pre-pay.

The taxman mightn't be happy about us filling a paypal account with untaxed income.

Christmas is a slow time of year and the recent events have prevented much progress at my end. It's usual that when one of us slows down the other follows the trend and of course the opposite is true. If you look at the blog history there's some pretty clear trends: December and January are quiet whilst March, April, September and October are development peaks. This pattern generally coincides with the months where we have other commitments and the time we have away from regular employment.

I'm confident the development gears will start turning once we get into the new year.

Cheers
