A thank-you message is guaranteed!
As a company or brand, consider becoming a Tiled sponsor! Apart from contributing to Tiled development, it also gains you publicity on Tiled's front page by linking an image of your choice to your website or product. There are currently three sponsor levels:
There is also the option of contracting me to add to Tiled whatever features you need!
I live in Europe so if you want to do a bank transfer instead (which generally avoids additional charges), contact me personally.
So far I've relied on my spare time to develop and maintain the current version of Tiled. The tool has come a long way since I started it back in 2008, but it is still a long shot from what I'd like it to be. There are many ways in which I'd like to improve Tiled, but if it has to come from my spare time, much of that will never happen. This is partly because my spare time is much more limited since I recently became father.
By accepting donations, I hope to be able to reduce hours spent on my day job and spend them on Tiled instead. This is also why I encourage people and companies to do recurring rather than one-time donations. They provide me with a more reliable source of funding, which I need in order to cut hours from my regular job.
To give an idea of what I'd like to work on once I have the time, here's a short look at the roadmap.
This version (and future minor releases) will be mainly about fixing all the glaring shortcomings of the current version of Tiled. Examples:
If Tiled funding through donations and sponsors is a success, we can dare think of a new version of the tool that brings many large improvements. Your feedback is welcome here! Personally I can think of several things:
Of course, any future versions of Tiled will always remain free and open source!
