Eric Barone, the developer behind all-time great farming sim Stardew Valley<\/a>, has had his head down working on the upcoming Haunted Chocolatier<\/a> since it was announced in 2021. But he’s also flirted with a bit of gaming-minded philanthropy, publicly musing about whether he’d save the Minecraft-like Hytale<\/a> before it was sold back to its original owners; and today, the open-source C# framework MonoGame announced it received a sizable donation from Barone that kicks off a long-term relationship.<\/p>\n

MonoGame announced in a post on X<\/a> that Barone “has made a very generous initial donation of $125,000 and an ongoing monthly commitment to the project. This extraordinary show of support, alongside ongoing contributions from other studios and individuals, helps ensure MonoGame continues to be the open-source C# framework that game developers of all sizes can rely on.”<\/p>\n

While Stardew Valley wasn’t initially built using MonoGame\u2014it switched to the framework from XNA in 2021<\/a>\u2014it has been used to make all sorts of indie hits. You can find a list of games that utilize the framework on its website<\/a>, ranging from reverse-horror game Carrion<\/a> to Celeste<\/a> to cutesy RTS Tooth and Tail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I can’t speak to the specific advantages offered by XNA or derivatives like MonoGame as I am no programmer, but it seems like a net positive for prospective game developers to have open-source options like this win the support of figures like Barone. It reminds me a bit of when the Terraria dev dunked on Unity<\/a> by donating to open-source game engines Godot and FNA.<\/p>\n
