@publiclewdness Solar2D, or Corona SDK as it was back in 2017, got me back into game dev after about 15 years absense. In 2020 while the project was transitioning to FOSS, we built (and still maintain) the https://www.solar2dplugins.com marketplace, and our designer did their logo. So while I'm not particularly active in that community any more, Solar2D is important to me and I can vouch for how great the people working on it are. Well worth your donation, thank you.
Buy & sell Solar2D plugins and game templates, images, sprites, sound effects, and other assets for desktop or mobile game programming.
