Alright, almost all the known #godot android regressions are now addressed, PRs are up for some of them. So, now it's time to switch gears and focus on my #opensource #svg editing app. I'm currently overhauling the entire UI to create a cleaner interface with a more native Android look.

I'm happy to announce that I'm upgrading from bronze to silver donor for Godot. My game Fallacy Quiz made with Godot is enough of a success that I'm confortable making that change! If you profit from what you make with Godot or just like the project, consider donating too. ๐ #godot #GodotEngine

I wish big games that made money using the Godot game engine would actually donate money back to Godot. For years, I donated money without even having made any on it, simply because it's the right thing to do. I can't now because no job, but if I make money again, I will.
