I don't know asking in this situation a certain donation is legal or not. thanks. maybe easier to stay freeware, and simply not to share what I don't want to give for free Free world editor for 3D Gamestudio: MapBuilder Editor

(wmb and $$m export is ensured, but they cannot have the same appearance without my scripts) maybe I keep the previous version with scripts for free, as it was really for free/extra users... hmm.. don't know.

But for everyone else who follow the law: they'd pay for the legit copy. Besides, not even big companies like Adobe and Microsoft can stop people from pirating their software. The best an individual developer can do is hope the honesty system is honoured. Accelerated Game Creation Tutorial - Learn how to use 3D Gamestudio's WED with these exciting video tutorials!
