A proposal to motivate modders for Heroes of Might and Magic V, but it can also be applied to other parts of the series.
The essence of the proposal:
A thread is created in the appropriate section:
requests for creating new mods
Any forum member can post a request for creating a specific mod in this thread. After that, he or other forum members voluntarily donate to motivate those who find time to create this mod; any amount can be donated, from 10 to 5000 rubles. Donations are made to a special account belonging to the portal administration.
The modder who creates the mod receives 80-90% of the total amount, while the remaining 10-20% goes to the website administration and covers current expenses: hosting costs, administrative expenses, bonuses for moderators, coordinators, clan leaders, prize funds, etc.
If two or more modders implement this idea simultaneously (which is unlikely, but possible), the amount is divided into 2-3 parts accordingly.
If no one manages to implement the planned project after a long time, the money is returned, but with a small deduction – 10%, for example.
This innovation will help motivate modders and generally increase the popularity of the game itself.
What do you think about creating a thread:
requests for new mods for Heroes of any version?
This proposal has already been approved by the Forum Creator; all that remains is to find a forum member from Russia whom we can trust with financial matters.
Note that there is a similar topic on the forum:
Mod Requests
/topic/9066/
Many forum members, including myself, have left their wishes regarding the creation of new mods in this thread.
However, there are many requests, but only 1% of them have been fulfilled. Why so few?
It simply takes time to create a mod, which most people don't have. Everyone is busy with work and a lot of everyday problems. Of course, it is possible to find time to create a mod, but for this, motivation is needed. Otherwise, people will not have either the time or the desire to do it.
Therefore, I proposed motivating modders and mapmakers not only with praise but also with money.
