Animal sponsorship drive
Rainseeker's Animal Sponsorship Drive was a donation event held by Bay 12 Games which took place in December 2010, suggested by and named after Rainseeker, one of the co-hosts of Dwarf Fortress Talk. During the course of the month, donations made to Bay 12 Games allowed donors to pick a new animal to be added to the game. The event ended with the developers gaining a total of $9.416,16 over the course of December, the second most successful month of the year (losing only to April, which saw the release of version 0.31.01).
While the event is long over, the website holding the results is still available, though it is not linked anywhere in the current Bay 12 Games page.
All the animals added through the Sponsorship Drive have a special note in their raw files stating "[animal name] were sponsored by the generous contributions of the Bay 12 community".
