Hello, thank you, and donations
Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:29 pm
Hello all,
My name is Willem. I'm from The Netherlands and I was once a massive C&C junky, though I've been out of the loop for about 10 years. C&C on DOS was my first game. Bought the Commemorative Edition, which also included Dune II. Used to make my own mods for C&C with one of the first weapon editors to come out. Made some maps and missions too, when I figured out how to add more missions to 'The Covert Operations' menu. I have nothing but good memories of this game and recall spending hours playing and/or modding it. Though this was all pre-internet (for me) times. It was all in my own little world. When I grew up I got into C&C Renegade and stuck there for a good few years.
Anyways, fast forward to the now and I found OpenRA browsing on Reddit out of the blue. Downloaded it, popped all my old Cd-ROM's in and I've had a look at your work. So many words come to mind. Amazing! Spectacular! Awesome! I wish to say thank you to all who have spent time on this project. Bravo! I commend you all. And I wish to help. First thing I wanted to do is find the donate button. Haven't found one, so am I not looking hard enough or is there no donations thing here? My technical skills are limited but I have the enthusiasm of a toddler with ADHD. Maybe I can help at some point. Who knows. I have a busy life now, but summer break is on the way and it tends to rain here a lot, haha.
I checked the list of high ranking forum members. Didn't see any nicks I recognize, but maybe some of you adopted new names. I've always been reckneya, so we know each other (or if we don't), feel free to say hi.
Kind regards,
reckneya
