Based on what they get from Patreon/month, this doubles their monthly donations.

They also have the Godot Fund which is already at $30k/mo alongside about $12k/mo on Patreon, so it's approximately a 22% increase actually. Still epic!

Regardless of the relative size of the donation, it's enough to hire a full time person.

Let's go! Time for a big speedup in Godot development!

Sorry, who is OSS Capital? Should we be worried that they're trying to influence/control the Godot? I don't trust any investment/venture capital firm and while I'm happy the Godot team is getting the money these things are usually deals with the devil in the long run

It’s a VC firm that has invested money in companies that use Godot.

I guess you have to almost thank John Riccitiello for that, haha
