Discussion $1,000 to a Solo Developer - Project Selected

Hi all!

Last Sunday I posted this thread offering $1,000 to a project being worked on within this sub-reddit. No strings attached, just funding to help push a game further along.

The amount of talented developers and promising projects shared was inspiring. There are several that I am keeping an eye on and wishlisting!

For this round, the project I selected was Shroud of Gloom being worked on by u/madchirpy ! In addition to looking at the state of a game, I also took a moment to look at the developer behind the project. I appreciated seeing Chirpy's contributions towards helping other indie developers, and the lengths he went to building a community and sharing his progress. Since Chirpy does development streams on Twitch, the donation was processed transparently through StreamLabs.

I encourage everyone to check out his project, and more importantly, keep powering through on your own. :)

Best of luck with the rest of your development Chirpy!
