Godot gets a funding boost from Slay the Spire 2 devs Mega Crit

The Godot Engine team have announced that Slay the Spire 2 developer Mega Crit have given them quite a nice funding boost.

A quick bit of background: Godot Engine is a cross-platform, free and open source game engine that has seen its popularity increase in the last few years, some of this is partly thanks to all the previous issues with Unity screwing up repeatedly. But not just that, Godot has made some really impressive technical advancements too. Back in late 2023, Mega Crit started supporting Godot Engine directly as a Gold Sponsor after dumping Unity.

Today, April 10th, the Godot team announced on Bluesky that Mega Crit have not only renewed their support, but they've increased the amount they're donating to Godot as they're now at the Corporate Platinum level (which is about €36,000 a year).

It's amazing to see successful developers give back to the open source tooling they use.
