🏳️‍🌈 She/her. Full-stack developer by day, indie game artist and developer by night. Small budget, big dreams.
Our model is to donate $5 to Godot monthly as a base usage donation and then create free & paid games. A % of profits will be donated to Godot, our animal shelter, and fund our free games. We have some paid & free #Godot and #Playdate games in the works for next year. Hope this model is successful!
i’ve seen a bit of what the funding does and it’s only made me want to donate more. the donation model of the Godot Foundation makes it an organization that prioritizes what game devs want and need, instead of what makes the foundation more money. this is rare, powerful, and inspiring.

#godotengine
This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.

If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

Bought #HelloYellow and #YabaiHazard for my #Playdate console from itch.io

The #Playdate Catalog no longer displays sample images of each title except the cover image. When I scroll through every title, I get Xs. I can purchase and do everything else. There's still 1.2 GB free on disk, so it's not an out-of-space issue. Should I report this as a bug?

Nope, never, we're donating to #Godot instead.
Always use OSS and free tools, no regrets.

There are a few more games I am interested in but I ran out of my budget. They look really good and well worth the price. I will see if I can scrunch off a few dollars from somewhere before the #Playdate Catalog sales end in 2 days. Here are my additional picks.
