    Considering FNA and Godot, $100K is gonna do wonders to both projects, specially with the additional $1K
    They might even better afford to have developers working full-time at the engines, or deal with stuff like infrastructure, licensing, hosting and other costs

      True! Considering Godot and FNA’s current size this is indeed going to catapult them to a different league, which I guess is what Re-Logic was setting out to do :P

        It won’t change Godot.

        Epic donated $250,000 in 2020, Kefir donated $120,000 in 2021. Godot Devs started W4 games and raised $8.5m of which their goal is to support Godots growth.

        $100,000 is nice and will allow them to continue but it’s not “league changing” money or anything for them.

          You‘re forgetting that this doesn‘t only come with money, but also free press, which is sometimes worth more as it would expose more people to Godot‘s existence, any of which may potentially donate :P
