Taking a firm stand against what Unity have been doing, Terraria developer Re-Logic announced today they’ve begun funding Godot Engine and FNA with a big donation and ongoing funding.
Terraria really isn’t a game for me but I may have to buy it now anyway just so I can support this.
You can donate directly to Godot or FNA if you want to show support and don’t think that you’d enjoy Terraria. Personally, I love Terraria and have bought it for pretty much every system I own and everyone I know. I got interested in it after watching TotalBiscuit and Jesse Cox play it. (I can’t believe that was 12 years ago!)
Man. That was a good series. Not sure if I can watch it again now, though…
There could be something to say for both donating directly to Godot and trying to support Terraria in some form because you think they’re doing good.
It depends on how activist the Terraria devs are, though. If this donation is a one-of statement from them, supporting doesn’t make as much of a statement on your part.
They did mention that in addition to $100k to each engine they’ll be doing a $1k/month donations as well.
I think the important thing to note about Terraria is it is as much Zelda and Castlevania as it is Minecraft. That is what makes it special. A lot of the copy cats tried to do 2D Minecraft, but forgot how important the Castlevania combat was to the whole mix.
