This new platform lets us significantly reduce platform fees, and as a non-profit we do not charge VAT on donations, unlike a platform like Patreon does. So your contributions go directly towards the development and improvement of the Godot Engine itself.
If you are currently supporting us through Patreon, we encourage you to switch to the Godot Development Fund to increase the effectiveness of your donations.
Unity starts charging devs per install, while Godot (a nonprofit) takes advantage of the news to convert already donating Patron customers and hopefully bring in a few more. Perhaps you only read the headline?
It really depends on how you’re using unity. If you’re dependent on a lot of the built in components or asset store plugins or the rendering pipeline you’re going to have a hard time.

I’ve seen worse timing than this from swiss watches
Or did I get whoosh’d…
I think he meant that Swiss watches have near perfect timing, so the timing of this is more than perfect because the shit Unity is pulling.
This is a really interesting way to phrase a compliment on their timing… if that’s what’s happening here.

Yea I read it backwards. Doh
Guess I’ll cancel my patreon and switch out. Love this engine way too much
Excellent time to do this while Unity is becoming a absolute shit show.
How hard is it to convert a project to Godot? I’m about a year in on one in unity but getting cold feet over their pricing changes.

There’s a tool that can almost directly convert your scenes and resources to Godot.

Godot? Sounds like it’s just what we’ve been waiting for!
