I really do want to fork out the money to pay for the preorder however being a minor in canada i have very few options...

cash
someone giving it to me as a gift
an exchange( think of a service or something i can give you)

i CAN help develop though i doubt the developers will ever give out overgrowth source code to anyone after the mac App store incident, i can script in Java flash c, c++, and i do understand basic, in case you do think of letting me develop

anyone with ideas or willing to help please contact me.
i do support indie game development fully and would not hesitate to buy if it were possible for me to do so

thanks,

ariliso

You could go out and buy one of those prepaid credit cards.

a recent study conducted in my city showed that prepaid credit cards cost 1/2 to 2/3 times what you can use from them in service fees

i support indie gaming not overzealous credit card companies

Well if they cost a half of what you can get out of them, I think that's a good deal.

It's not that they cost less than the amount of money you can spend on them; it's that there's an additional activation fee on top of the value on the card itself. However, I've bought those before, and it's only a few extra dollars. It would have to be a $50 card to cover the $30 preorder (the next one down is usually $25), but then you've got some extra money in case you want to get anything else online. Just a matter of saving up longer in that case.

if you have a bank account, you can usually get a debit card from a bank.

You could try a cashier's check/money order and physically mail it to wolfire.

ask to borrow relative's credit card and give them the money up front for it. Since there is no delivery address it is not an issue.
