Right after our announcement that we want to hire a second contributor part-time, our Patreon campaign got a huge boost beyond that goal and towards the next. It was in fact due to arrival of our first Platinum sponsor, Enjin Coin , bringing us an additional USD 1,500 of funding every month! On top of this sponsorship, they announced their support of our project and intent to develop a Godot module to make their open source framework available for Godot developers.

Edit: When this post was written we were slightly below our second goal of $4,500 - thanks to a soon-to-be-announced Platinum sponsor, we already reached this second goal and are well on our way to the third one! More infos on our plans for this third goal soon. Godot and Patreon so far. Our Patreon campaign for the initial goal (hiring me full-time!

Dev Diary posts are made to teach game development through specific examples from my latest project: Highways & Byways. Just here for Highway s & Byways updates? Click here. Last week, I talked about how time-consuming and difficult it can be to get a board game working. It takes a long, long time for a board game to be fun. Fast forward to the future, though, and let’s say your game has been working for a while.
