Spark games are hosting on Hubs, your experience in the game depends largly on your connection to the Hub on which the server is located. So for a better all-round experience for all players we need many hubs around the globe, rather than one central Hub.
To run a Hub is not cheap, it costs around $80 USD per month per hub. So to have 5 hubs around the globe will cost nearly $400! Thankfully, there are members of our community who currently run some hubs for us, out of thier own pocket which means this is possible.
This scheme is designed to help these members with these costs, we will collect donations until we reach a sizable amount (say, $100) and then this money will be shared out amongst those who host hubs.
At the moment, the cost of our DC and Aussie hubs (currently ~$100 monthly) will be met before any else is shared out. This is because the DC hub relies entirely on donations and would close if none are recieved.
Read This Bit: It should be noted that donors will recieve only their name in the list below in recognition and a warm fuzzy feeling inside. This scheme is run by Patabugen and is not endorsed or recognised by Codemallet Entertainment or run on behalf of - it is a community project. That said, I am keeping a (strictly confidental) record of who is donating and the amount should further recognition be granted in future. Lastly, all donations are non-refundable so make sure you can afford what you donate. If you have any queries about this scheme, please contact Patabugen.
