Epic, the makers of the Unreal game engine, have supported Krita with a $25,000 MegaGrant!
Epic has supported other free software projects, such as Blender and Lutris before, and now supports Krita. The purpose of this grant is to fund improvements to our development process so Krita’s development gets more sustainable. This is something we have already started on, and which want to accelerate. With an estimated five million users, making sure that we can release as stable a version of Krita as possible in as dependable a way as possible is pretty important!

That's a great Christmas present! Oh by the way: Merry Christmas to you all. And https://youtu.be/XWRRK-ws2Sk is a gorgeous Polish song to get you in the Christmas mood.
Epic news (pun intended)! I wish Epic would finally give a grant to Godot. Sounds like wishful thinking though (:
This is so awesome, Krita is such a great raster (and vector!) painting program. I can't wait to see what they do with this, looking forward to what's to come!
Ilyak: I don't see why they'd fund a competing game engine, despite that I'd like to see it happen :P
