Windows 10 Compatibility Funding Campaign

Post by Koi-JorKyrin »

Good afternoon Folks!

We have very good news to deliver, and we also have a very big favor to ask of the Underlight Community.

Today I announce that Lycaon, developer of Underlight: Shades of Truth, will be joining forces with KoiWare and assisting on a rather large project. As you all know, Windows 10 upgrades have begun to be pushed out to the community. This unfortunately forces our player-base to decide whether to, for compatibility sake, stay at Windows 7, or run a virtual machine just to play Underlight. Neither of these options are acceptable to us. We want you to be secure using the latest shiny new operating system, but also, do not feel one needs to venture into a computer science degree just to setup a virtual machine and play Underlight.

Lycaon has accepted the task to bring Windows 8 / 10 compatibility to the current Lyra era player client, in addition to implementing windowed-mode. This work, however, will require much of his time--which we would like to compensate him for. As KoiWare is not a for-profit enterprise, we do not have the funds to support this endeavor without the support of the Underlight community. In order to make this happen, we will need to raise funds. These upgrades will benefit our community by removing these two hurdles and making the game easier to play! It is the vital next step before KoiWare can expand and improve in the area of PR and grow the community!

Please welcome Lycaon to the team!

Where can you donate? Please visit https://www.underlight.com/ and click on the Donate button.

Other information:
- The donation campaign will run until April 30th, 2016.
- All donations between now and the end of the campaign go directly to Lycaon, given the requirements are met.
- KoiWare receives zero dollars from this campaign, in fact, we will be donating to this very fund ourselves.

Regards,
Koi - Jor'Kyrin

The funding campaign is officially over and it was a great success! We will be releasing a patch to all players in the next few weeks to make Underlight fully compatible with operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10 and everything in between.
