    I would like to say thank you for all people who doing great job for Godot. Because of you, I can still believe that I can become a game dev despite my limitation (potato laptop, budget, etc). I'm grateful that I know this engine. Once again Thank you so much for everything 🙏
  • @benjattkk
    Juan y Ariel son una gran inspiración como argentino. Gracias a ellos y al resto del equipo por Godot.
  • Juan: "...I had to shutdown the company." World: "... nope, you launched a mini-revolution !" (Rémi is absolutely right: there is no way I could be completing my current work without his/their paint brush. I wouldn't be good enough of a programmer normally. Coincidentally, today I just completed the first vertical slice of my "game", which is more of a competitive educational app. Thank you to the amazing Godot community!)
