There's a lot of misinformation circulating, and as usual, I seem to have got dragged in. So here are the FACTS:

I have submitted six sets of code to @SulakeDominic , all outside of the Client Development Bounty Program:

✅ Enhanced Furni Chooser – added
✅ Navigator Password Fix – added
✅ Password Show/Hide – added
⏳ Furni Chooser Transparency – pending
⏳ Trophy Colour Persistency – pending
❌ Hand Page Numbers – not added (conflict with hand stacking update)

🛠 Hand Stacking: Hand stacking couldn't just happen in the client code. It required a lot of server-work from Macklebee, and as I understand it was a WIP for some time. Macklebee let me know that the server-work was done but it needed client work to make it happen.  I submitted all my code. The final UI surpassed mine, but many of my fixes (pagination, item placement, trade window bugs) helped get this across the line.

💡 Important:
• Every submission was voluntary.
Every single one of my submissions has been delivered to Macklebee outside of the bounty program, with the words "Here's something I did - I don't know if it's any use to you. But you're free to use it if you like".

I have not been paid for these contributions. I have not received any in-game credits or trophies. I have not asked for any kind of compensation.

‼️The Hand Update was never a bounty to my knowledge—I worked on it for fun and learning. I knew there was no monetary value associated with getting this live. Most of the work required to make it happen was done on the server as I understand it.

Regarding the Bounty Program:
Much of the paid work is outside my skillset right now, but I remain hopeful that maybe one day I'll take one of those on. It's no secret that I'm not a developer. This is something I've been learning by myself, with support from my friend Murdock when stuck.

There is incredible work happening there, by incredibly talented folk. Of which Reylukas was one. The work there is legitimate, paid and impressive. I have no reason to believe that anyone hasn't been paid as there are a considerable number of completed bounties, with those folk already working on further projects.

On the recent drama:
• I had an issue with someone taking sole credit for an update I contributed to.
• I asked Macklebee if any of my work made the final cut. Some of it did.
• I am not privy to conversations between Macklebee and other developers.

Finally:
Habbo thrives because of ALL its community contributors—streamers, game hosts, artists, idea sharers, event organisers. No single person is “saving the game.” Recognition matters, but if you expect compensation, agree to it upfront. That's my hot take.

I contribute for the love of the game. Seeing my work acknowledged in patch notes, receiving a simple “thank you,” and watching players enjoy improvements is reward enough. It’s a win-win-win. 🎉

I have and will continue to always provide my feedback and thoughts on Habbo Origins in a respectful, deliberate way. I think myself and many others were very surprised at how this person who had recently joined the program was talking as the voice of all community updates, and further how they dragged the rest of the development progress. It wasn't community-led. It wasn't encouraging. It wasn't humble.

That was a lot to say, but equally, it's all I'll say. As always you're welcome to think/believe what you like, and I will continue to try to deal in facts as always.
