It's approaching that
time of the month again, with server fees due in the coming days.
November so far has been a record month for both site visits and
downloads, with the latter up by about 7% on October. Much of this
traffic has been arriving directly from the workshop, where I always
provide a link on every workshop upload and with this exposure
available to the whole TS2014 userbase, traffic is increasing
rapidly. One downside of this increased traffic is the increase in
outlay on my part to keep the site free and with high speed downloads
so we still unfortunately still require donations in order to help
with this.
As well as having a
bi-monthly competition as an incentive to those who donate, I have
also decided to add a further incentive. Users who donate will now
have an opportunity to take delivery of our workshop projects earlier
than anyone else. If you donate, or have donated in the past then
simply send me confirmation via a feedback form at
http://www.dpsimulation.org.uk/contactus.html
and you will then have the opportunity to add DPSimulation as a
friend on Steam, enabling you early access to our uploads. The first
incentive in this program will be a development version of my new
ECML project which has been shown in screenshots recently, this
development version will be made available in the coming days. Please
be aware that this version of ECML requires both the original ECML
(Newcastle to York) route and the Great Eastern Main Line DLC.
Further incentives will feature new extensions to Edinburgh to
Glasgow, City Lines and our range of scenarios exclusive to the
workshop.
I realise that times
are hard, I'm feeling it just as much as anyone! But any donations
are appreciated, contribute directly to the costs incurred through
hosting and aid research and development of projects both now and in
the future.
