Let's hope other content purveyors are also moved to support the free software which they directly or indirectly profit from.
And if krita could just add 'tweening' to the animation tools, my kids would be even happier and I'd certainly be adding a donation :)
Good for them, I'm sure it's a nice shot in the arm. But jesus, it's not much, really. You certainly don't do open source to get rich. 25k is about 18 minutes of Fortnite revenue, if I've done the math right.
I'm not familiar with Krita. How does it compare with/relate to GIMP?
OS X really needs a “good enough” paint app, like Windows has paint.net Preview is ok for various editing tasks but nowhere near as good as paint.net

I once had an independent project that was both awesome and positioned extremely well for the needs of big co. But, life, it needed support. So, big co sent someone with a fat salary and stock options to take care of things. He mailed to “brainstorm” what can be done so that “folks like yourself could successfully build” stuff that benefits them and how to make it “worth a developer’s while”. So yah. That was bullshi…
Still - it may be possible to come up with a support contract that allows it.
Between this and Epic's massive grant towards Blender, they are really doing their part to enrich an already blossoming open source artist community. It used to be that all of these tools were locked behind years of education and a staggering software subscription. Hopefully they continue backing these grants as the Epic Games store matures.
