Godot Engine :godot:

With many new people learning about FOSS yesterday, we couldn't have timed our Development Fund refresh any better🧼🫧

fund.godotengine.org/

If you have as little as 5€ per month to spare, please consider becoming part of the base this project rests upon: community support.

Godot Development FundGodot Development FundJoin the Development Fund and support the Godot Foundation to work on Godot Engine.

Another way to support the Godot Engine is contributing to the source code!

To learn more about that, we have prepared this handy documentation page for you: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable

This fund is THE reason I get to do a job that I love.

Working for a lovely and incredibly active community, as well as help push forward FOSS as a viable alternative in the games industry 🎮🛠️

@godotengine wait, what happened yesterday? just curious. i'm already super on board with what ya'll are doing and am slowly learning my way into game dev through Godot :heart_cybre:

@kite Brackeys posted a new video after 3 years, talking about open source in gaming and teasing upcoming tutorials about Godot. Brackeys used to do Unity tutorials.

@godotengine I love the Godot engine, its super fun to use and super easy to add game-specific editor features, but I've been wondering about the lisencing. Why is Godot licensed under the MIT lisence and not GPL? What was the reason for why MIT was chosen?

@smorty @godotengine Strong copyleft license probably wouldn't work very well for people who want to commercialize their games.

I'm not one of them but I know for a fact that they are the majority coming from other engines.

@godotengine Wow, this is the second time this type of incredible timing has happened. The first fund announcement was perfectly timed with the Unity debacle. I wonder what event will trigger the asset store launch 👀

@godotengine would love to read a detailed report about the fundation spendings, right now is a bit of a black box and we need more transparency 😅

@teggy a financial report is in the works!

It really is mostly salaries for the people we employ to work part-/full-time at the moment
