Hi Naxos, thanks for the enthusiasm!

But just to clarify - MoI is only free in during this beta period. After the beta is over and the final V1 version is ready, it will be a commercial product, not a free product. However, I do expect the price to be a lot less than the typical CAD program price.

So there isn't any need to donate - if you want to support it just purchase it when V1 is ready! :)

But thank you very much for offering!

Nope, definitely not stopping!

After the end of this month it will be pausing for possibly a short while as the official V1 release gets all prepared, but then it will resume after that for V2.

There will be some good stuff coming this month though.

By the way Michael, I hope you will accept payment by credit cards. By far the easiest for me...

I think I'm going to use this service from a company called Plimus that will handle accepting the payments for me - they support credit cards and a variety of other methods as well.

sounds good. I've had good experience with Plimus. But Paypal is a piece of donkey sh-t. I will be very happy if not forced to use paypal...

thanks,
jonah

ok for that Michael,

i'm only affraid of that kinda scenario :

you're product is great, we all know that... and maybe some big big company would (should) hire you for some stupide-but-very-well-paid developpement...

in this way i'm affraid of you could think about stop MOI3d dev.

this was the reason why i thought about donation to help you not to fall into dark side of dev.

my proposal is still available...


ps : as the guy that chooses softwares (and hardware) for a 3D highschool, i have to know if a special educationla price will be available for version 1...

regards

Hi Naxos, well the #1 thing that would drive me to "the dark side" would be if I don't sell enough copies of MoI when it is released.

The biggest thing you can do to help is just to tell other people you know that are interested in 3D about MoI.

That's actually more important than a donation!

Yes, but I haven't figured out the specifics yet, but I'm pretty sure that I will be doing something special for classroom use of MoI.
