Pasus Nauran said:Nice sheet. This actually has one of the cleanest layouts I've ever seen in an Excel character sheet. How long did it take you to create?
Thank you !!
I've been working so long on it, that I decided the quality justified the request for payment.
Pasus Nauran said:I'm curious: what kind of reception have you had regarding payments and donations? I'm thinking of setting up for donations regarding my character sheet, but I'm somewhat wary of the concept that having recieved payment of some sort I would be expected to provide support and updates. I do these things anyway, but don't want to feel forced into doing it.
Good luck on the shareware concept, BTW
I got both sides of the coin - Some people think it's a steal with all the features/quality/time saving the Sheet gives them, while others prefer to point out they can create a Character Sheet like this in 10 minutes... (yeah right...). Initially, it was Donationware, but I received many suggestion/opinions that it more shareware, so I switched it to that. And indeed it is ALOT of work simply updating every registered users with New versions of the Sheet... Of course those bitching about the "high price" have no idea about that... But you know what, It's preferable to have a small user base of Quality people than having a bunch of those bitching people... And I receive many suggestions from my registered users to help improve the Sheet...
On a last note, when I saw that thousands of people were downloading my sheet, and having received very very little "donations", I asked myself: "Why should they reap the rewards of my hard work??? - I don't OWN them anything..." - That was the final straw that pushed me to go Shareware - After spending MONTHS of work on it, I saw no reasons to be Santa Claus for the Masses... (And the fact that I'am Jobless because of the 9/11 events is'nt helping either...)
