Don't bother trying to come up with things. I haven't shown completely publicly any of my stuff, but Rainy Death and Project Contamination are due to feature some of my work, although, not my best work. Just simple powerups and stuff.

i love kil la kill.

by the way i had a similar incident though its a bit gruesome... so i won't mention it.

the maps prob finished anyway lol

I don't mind the idea of a paid beta, as long as the finished product is free.

I DO NOT support paid maps what-so-ever and I believe this should NEVER happen! What I do support though, is the idea that anyone can donate freely to a mapper. Think about it, people earn quite a bit of money for just playing your map on YouTube for an hour yet you earn nothing for spending months making it. It seems unfair. I 110% agree with the idea of a large donate button under the name of the user (Something like: "DONATE TO THIS MAPPER"). Not only will it give mappers the credit they deserve, it will also encourage them to make bigger and better maps free for the community!

It is, it would be released publicly 2 months after the beta.

Two whole months?   

Two whole months?   

So after waiting more than a year people can't wait another 2 months for the sake of $4?

You shouldn't be charging money for it to begin with. Not yours for reasons above.

I'd give more reasons but on a tablet again.

two whole months jesus christ that's excessive.

Where do I sign up, I have an upcoming map that I want to make money from

Nope, nope, that's fine, we've heard the speeches already. I love you like a son Daedra, but the powers that be don't agree with you and we've heard it all before.

To be honest, this donation thing is getting out of hand, and is coming off as very unprofessional for a 'Custom Zombies' community. This community is great, and I joined for that reason, but donations? I can see people donating to others to make requested maps, but to donate to someone's self made map that they made purely out of fun deserves money? Donating to mods of an already existing video game is absurd; nobody does this, because it's completely illegal. People who make mods do it for fun, and for others to experience, free of charge. Asking for money to play a mod is blatantly stupid, and will send this site to the grave instantly, especially with people reporting the site to Activision on the matter.

Now, I can see having a donate button for the mappers and programmers for their hard work, since a lot of independent modders do this to show that it can help inspire them become better with the things they do. However, if this is about paying to play a map, that's just idiotic, and sounds like something a child would think up and do.

two whole months jesus christ that's excessive.

Have you played Requiem? How long has that been in Beta?

I can see where both sides are coming from but take a second and remember the disaster that happened with Skyrim trying to implement the Steam Workshop feature that let people charge for their Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim mods. People went ballistic over it and it was removed within a few days. lol

That's my two cents 

How about this? When a mapper starts a WIP he may contact someone at UGX (sure, I'll be the guy for this, thank you for asking) and he will assess the project and if it gets approved then the person or team can be given a donate button on their WIP so that people can donate to a mapper and it will in no way be viewed as paying for content since the money changing hands will not coincide with the release of the map. I'd be glad to invest in a project that I believe in. Will this proposal satisfy the douche bags out there? Speak douche bags!

Why would you pay for a WIP but not a release, I don't get it :S
