Indie-Resource.com

i chose option number 4.

only tuts i have use for are the ajax ones... but as a rule i dont pay for tutorials (Y) although the only prob with that is not being able to question the maker lol but i can live with tht.

i have no issue with donating money towards the maintenance of the server etc (well would if i accually had money). but i am not paying for something i wouldnt use.

It would not be for Indie-Resource Indie-Resource is always free with no ads

What about a special tag or something for users who join? A lot of sites do that.

I hate the idea of a donations button or charging. I can pay for the server and hosting no problem. This is more for contests and extras.

The only reason I am considering charging for the tuts and the games is because of the massive hard work I put in them. $10 for 5 games with tutorials on how they work is well worth it but I also understand anyone not needing something like this. I would not buy something I don't need either. I will continue my free tutorials and making tutorials to help the community. If you do not buy it I would not think you weren't willing to help I-R.

I said novel idea, but wouldn't pay mainly because its not my area of interest, though I feel the idea is right and cool

Always willing to lend my hand of support in areas that I can when the means are advialble.

I think it may draw in a lot of attention from outside the community as well (the gold tutorials that is). You have seen how many people come here from Googling PHP MMORPGs. With completed games, source code and art assets to work with, I think you may see a fair bit of interest.

The only thing is that these people are not going to look at it like they are helping out the community. They are going to look at it like they are buying tutorials and source code, therefore they will be much less patient with any issues they may have, and will expect support. No matter how great the tutorials and game source is, you can always expect a small portion of people to be very vocal that it didn't live up to their unrealistic expectations ("I paid $10 for this?!").

However, even with that portion of people who will inevitably show up, I think it is a good idea

Thanks Jacko, I agree and I will be here for support as I have been for my current tutorials. Hopefully anyone in doubt will see that.

Welcome back by the way

Halls, I assume by the poll that this may be a go. If it is, and when its hooked up let me know. My paypal is itching to send people money
