Eric Barone, the creator of perennial farming sim favorite Stardew Valley who operates under the pseudonym ConcernedApe, is helping to make sure game devs can enjoy many of the same resources he's made use of for years to come. Not only has he made a large donation to one such piece of software, but he’s signed up to be a regular donor from here on out.
MonoGame is a C# framework designed to make game development easier and more streamlined. It's been used by hundreds of developers, including several prolific ones, Barone being among them. As such, the Stardew Valley mastermind has now donated $125,000 to the toolkit, as well as pledging to make monthly contributions of some description for the foreseeable future.
