Donation solicitation rather difficult to notice

[revolting_peasant]

Let me ask a provocative question: Does the project want donations?

By looking at the website, and the game, it seems the answer is "not really". Why?

* There is no Donate/Support link on the main, top, navbar.
* On the main page of the website, nothing is said about donations unless you scroll all the way down.
* ... and a user has little reason to scroll all the way down, it's the landing page after all, and there's a nav bar, and the trailer, and even some nav buttons within the content frame, none of which mentions donation.
* In the "About" section, donations are not directl solicited, and are mentioned on paragraph 3 as part of the mainline text.
* Within the game itself, "Donate" is the sixth button in a column of buttons under the "Community" dialog tab. It's not invisible, but it doesn't draw focus either; and indicated as a sort of an alternative, or even less-desirable alternative, to chatting and posting messages.

Now, maybe the project is ok with the donation income as it is now. But - even without being very "in your face", it would definitely increase if the possibility of donation were features somewhat more prominently (without being annoying). Just saying.

Well, it is pretty obvious on the first website with a colored button that says donate. Yes at the very bottom and under the point contribute. This isn't a scheme or a fancy commercial product, that cry for donations. Which would seem SUS. If you want to support the project, you will find it. For me this is ok and I finally doing my part and support the project, which took me long enough .

If you want to support the project, you will find it.

If you've decide yourself you want to donate, then sure, I guess. But this does not encourage people to donate. And such an encouragement does not "seem sus". Many (most?) FOSS projects solicit donations prominently, and justifiably so. Many do it even in the app itself, which we don't, but we should at least not hide the donation banner IMNSHO.

IMO the top of the page should be focused on the game itself, rather than having a donation option there as well. That feels like it could be a bit obnoxious.
