Send it. If it goes in the game, you get paid.
Alderhoard is a free browser game I'm building on my own. Players keep finding things I missed, and some of the best walls started as somebody else's "what if".
So here's the deal. Find a bug, suggest a fix, or pitch a wall, a yard, a level or a feature. If I use it, I pay you and put your name in the credits.
What it pays
| You send | When I use it |
|---|---|
| A bug I can reproduce and fix | $5 |
| A fix or an improvement I put in the game | $10 |
| A wall, yard, level or feature idea I build | $25 |
Every one of those also gets your name in the credits. If I build your wall or your level, it can carry your name too, if you want it to.
Amounts are in US dollars. The total I pay out is capped at $100 a month. See the rules below.
How to send something
- In the game, use the feedback box.
- Or email me at [email protected].
Tell me which game or screen it's about, what happened or what you'd change, and the name you want in the credits. For a bug, say what browser you were using and what you pressed. A screenshot helps.
You don't need to send payment details up front. If I use it, I'll get in touch.
The rules
- I decide what gets used. Plenty of good ideas won't fit the game, and that isn't a judgment on the idea.
- If I already had it, I'll say so. I keep a dated list of my own planned ideas and fixes. If yours is already on it, I'll tell you, and it isn't paid.
- First one in gets it. If two people send the same thing, the earlier message is the one that's paid.
- One payment per idea, even if I change it on the way in or it grows into something bigger.
- Sending it means I can use it. By sending an idea, fix or bug report, you agree that I can use it, change it and build on it in Alderhoard and anything that comes out of Alderhoard, with no other payment or claim beyond what's on this page.
- $100 a month, total. When a month's cap is reached, anything else I use is paid the next month, in the order it arrived.
- Paid when it goes live, by PayPal or Interac e-Transfer, within 30 days of the change being in the game.
- You need to be 18 or older, or have a parent or guardian's OK to be paid.
- I can change these rules for the future. Anything I've already used gets paid under the rules that applied when you sent it.
