Donate to Drillimation

ドリリメーションのバイリンガリズムの方針に基づき、このページは日本語でもご覧いただけます。

We’ll get straight to the point. In order to defend Drillimation’s independence, we very politely ask that you donate. We have lots of dedicated fans who love Drillimation and our games, but very few who have a quarter to spare choose to donate.

The Prophet Driller is a freelancer, and he depends on donations that players give to survive and thrive. If everyone reading this gave $5, we can keep Drillimation thriving for the many years to come. We face challenges and hardships on a daily basis, and we need to get those jobs done.

Drillimation’s mission is powering players’ reflexes to insanity. We understand that you’re likely not going to donate, but if you sing the praises of Drillimation, we recommend you make a donation of $5 or more, or whatever you can to sustain us. There are also other ways to donate to Drillimation, including but not limited to subscribing to our Patreon, or even buying the games on Steam and itch.io.

NOTE: All players under 18 years of age must have parental permission before donating.

By donating, you agree to our terms of service and privacy policy.

Additional Information

The entire video game industry begins with the game, and without it, there is nothing to play.

International copyright treaties always assure that developers own the rights to the games they make and decide the methods for their distribution. Third parties can’t publish another developer’s games legally without obtaining the original developer’s permission or paying royalties for the associated distribution rights. For us, royalties are our only source of income and we depend on that to survive. Game development is hard work that should be rewarded.

Many developers are represented by publishers and it is their obligation to ensure that all copies sold are monetized appropriately. For a long time, games had to be sold physically and it is a time consuming and expensive process. With the arrival of the digital age it has become possible to distribute games over the internet, but the developers still need to be paid.

Taking third parties who license their content for our games into consideration, paying royalties to those individuals and companies is the only way for us to remain legal. We have multiple sources for income: advertisements on this site, donations from players (one-time or subscription-based), and royalties from sold copies of our games. For our joint projects, every developer involved expects payment for every copy of that game. Given their expectations, advertising revenue does not cover the costs to pay the bills, and paying is the only way to experience all of Drillimation’s interactive adventures.
