Am I correctly understanding that this is a for-profit endeavor that’s relying solely on donations?

- jsheard 2y agoLooks like they offer paid support, and the console branches obviously aren't public so you'd have to make a deal to access those.
- britzl 2y agoNo. Wrong. Console branches are available for free if you are approved by the vendor.
- ksymph 2y agoIt's also being funded by a number of corporate sponsors. As I understand it, a studio or publisher will fund the development of a specific feature, while general development is mostly just spare time and donations.
- britzl 2y agoNo, Defold is developed by six full time and two part time developers. All developers are fairly compensated. Most of the work done on the engine is "general development" funded by corporate partners, studios and publishers. There is quite a bit of overlap between the needs of specific partners and the general development roadmap.
