Why support Velaptor on Ko-fi? ☕ Building a 2D game framework takes time & infrastructure. Your backing directly funds the development hours needed for our upcoming roadmaps and keeps the project independent. Full story below! 👇

@razvanmuntian We eat them as snacks sometimes. Kristen eats them with hummus🤷

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

@James_M_South @SixLabors 🤘🏼You got this James! I have been trying to build something to work on full time for years and I don't make anything and still have clients.

Make sure you don't sell yourself short. You have built something great, even if some people don't see it.

@RealProductGirl 💯

@eddiejaoude @Prathkum Yeah...it is getting really bad.

@James_M_South 🤣 I can see this happening. Instead of just keeping a developer and ditching the AI. They'll start firing people because they can't afford the AI usage that the developer incurs.

So dumb...

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

@eddiejaoude yeah...I have seen a significant increase in software issues across the board. 😔

Big news for the Velaptor community! 🚀 We’ve launched a Ko-fi page to give everyone a simple, friction-free way to back the project with a one-time tip or a recurring membership. Read the full blog post breakdown below! 👇

🖼️ Texture Rendering in #velaptor

Draw with ease:
✅ Rotation, scaling & layering
✅ Color tinting & sub-regions
✅ Flip on the fly (Horiz/Vert)

Perfect for reusing walk cycles in both directions! 🚀

@eddiejaoude I spent today adding Kofi as a funding option for the laughter and wrote up a blog post for it. I will be having some social posts about this throughout the week. 😊

@mateusz_budz I use silk dotnet which in turn uses wgpu which is the rust implementation. 😄

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

Game dev shouldn’t be painful. 🎮

#velaptor handles the heavy lifting:
✅ GPU Rendering (OpenGL)
✅ Audio (SFX & Music)
✅ Input & Window Mgmt
✅ Scene & Content Loading

Focus on your game, not the boilerplate. Built for C# & .NET 9.

The Audio class in #casl implements IDisposable, so you can use it with using statements for clean resource management. OpenAL buffers and sources are properly released.

@razvanmuntian You know...I have seen a huge increase in bugs in all kinds of software I use.

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

@ricoberan Same as @razvanmuntian I prepare video downloads, make sure all packages are installed, etc.
