    Pokémon Catcher Fundraiser (Trading, Gifting, Searching)

    Approaching our Catcher's one year anniversary, we've always had certain goals in mind. Due to expensive development and the lack of a developer to code such ambitious new features, we've mostly been unable to achieve a lot of the special goals we had in mind... until now.

    Recently, we hosted a fundraiser to gather donations for some new Catcher features which included Releasing (much requested), level limits and moderation tools to help fix glitched Pokémon. Not the most exciting, but still very important and especially so because it helped us find a developer we are confident can help make our goals and ambitions for the Catcher come true.

    Now we feel it is time to begin work on our biggest features yet:
    Trading, Gifting and the ability to search for Pokémon within your collection.

    Undoubtably, these have been the most requested features by far, and we can see how important they are to the community. Unfortunately like most development, these are costly additions. Much work is required, and like with any job, our developer needs to be paid.

    Therefore we are hosting a new fundraiser to gather the funds necessary to begin work on these projects.

    [​IMG]

    The first big one is Trading, which will allow you to submit Pokémon for trade. There are several options to help ensure you can get what you're after. We'd also open up a special Trading Marketplace section so trainers can trade as much as they want with who they want!

    [​IMG]

    Gifting is the simple (but very important) process of a user sending Pokémon to a user of their choice. This can be used to sell Pokémon for PokéPoints, or simply out of the kindness of your heart.

    [​IMG]

    You'll also be able to search through your collection. This will help with finding Pokémon that can evolve, ones that can be traded and more.

    [​IMG]

    Bare in mind these are all mockups in Photoshop, designed by Ryan. Actually coding them is a tough and expensive job, and we obviously only want the work to be high quality so you guys are getting the absolute best.

    We realise it's a big ask, but we feel this is important not just for LV the website, but the whole community. Undoubtably there are a lot of possibilities with these new features and it can really shake the Catcher up.

    Therefore we need to fundraise:

    $465/$500

    There is no timeframe on when this goal needs to be met, but the sooner the better. These features may take a while to code.

    Once the goal is complete, we'll begin work with our developer and update you guys frequently on how progress is going! These features will be accessible by the ENTIRE community, and for donating you'll receive many perks.

    Thank you, let's get this goal complete!

    Guys a quick word, I urge all of you to donate, no matter what the amount. This is an amazing community and we have the power to make this a possibility! It may seem like a huge amount, but we can all come together and meet our goal!

    Just a note, I know that the green "200$" is how many we've got already, but it kinda somehow looks like 200 is fundraised and not 500? also the 200 being in bright green drives the eyes away from 500 which is equally important as it's the total. And the way it is could also suggest that we still need 200, not that it's what we've got?

    Yeah, that should work. Enter its details the same as you would a credit/debit card. @LostSpirit was the one who found out this worked a few years back (thank you) - it may have changed, though. :)

    Guys, we are getting really close now thanks to all of your generosity! This is a big deal for the community, so if you can spare anything, let's smash that goal and make these features happen. :)

    The info just goes to my e-mail, and isn't publicly stored anywhere. We don't sell any data or anything. LV isn't a for-profit site and is run entirely off of donations.
    I really appreciate that you'd even consider donating that much, thank you!

    EDIT: For clarity, the info that goes to my e-mail is just Paypal's receipt and the form you fill out. The information I'm getting is:
    • The name you have registered on Paypal
    • Your forum username
    Also worthy to note is that our donation system isn't automated at this time, but we'll get you the donator benefits within several hours of receiving your donation.
