Glum Buster

That’s right, ring in the holidays starting… Now! Much gratitude to everyone who’s contributed thus far. We’ve trotted past another charity goal, so be on the lookout for a brand-spanking new desktop wallpaper reward in the very near future.

We’ve done it once again - another round has been wrapped up with much success. Thanks a ton to all those who contributed during round 3. Time for us all to dive head-first into round 4, with a charity factor of 70%, while I kick another massive contribution ($174.85) over to Starlight!

And yet again, all of you generous players have worked together to achieve another charity goal. The round 3 goal was topped a few days ago, and now your reward is ready for the taking. I can’t thank you enough. Go head, grab the new desktop wallpaper reward!

Today I’ve decided to tweak the charityware payment model. The “Charity factor” now increases by 5% each round (instead of the previous 1% increase). This change won’t only be reflected as we move forward, because we’re dipping our toes into a time paradox to apply this change to the previous two rounds. This means the round 1 and 2 Charity factors were 55% and 60% (instead of 51% and 52%). It also means an additional $34.74 just went to Starlight for those two previous rounds. This change to the model will get us zipping toward a 99% Charity factor much, much quicker. Grin!

The bar has been hopped once again - we’ve reached the charity goal for round 3! Thanks a ton to all of you who’ve made payments this round. Be on the look out for your reward in the next few days.

Resulting from an incredible surge of generosity this morning, round 2 has come to a close. Good shot! Thanks a ton to everyone who made payments and also to everyone in general for playing the game. You’ll be glad to know that a healthy $156.26 is zipping it’s way over to the Starlight Children’s Foundation thanks to you all.

Version 1.3 of Glum Buster is now available. This new version includes a handful of moderate updates that solve for various collision issues - namely, locations/objects in which the Buster could get stuck (requiring you to “Retell…” from the pause menu).

A huge load of thanks once again to all those who’ve contributed so far. We’ve already surpassed the round 2 charity goal, and I’ve posted your reward. Also of note, all the desktop wallpapers now come in a 1680×1050 resolution option (thanks for alerting me to that standard format, Georg!).

Shake your booties, friends! Today we have surpassed the $100.00 charity goal for round 2! A hearty thanks to every one who has contributed so far. Keep an eye out for a new Glum Buster desktop wallpaper reward. We’re also now at 17 of 25 payments for the round. Only 8 more payments before the round is complete and I kick off another contribution to the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
