Ways to contribute
Stride is a non-profit, community-driven, free, and open-source project.
There are no full-time developers dedicated solely to Stride's advancement; instead, the engine progresses through the voluntary contributions of both the core team and the broader community.
In order to thrive, Stride requires help from other community members. There are various ways you can help:
ðļ Donate
We utilize Open Collective for fundraising. The funds collected are allocated towards bug bounties and compensating individuals contracted for paid work.
ðĪ Contribute code
If you're passionate about C# and want to contribute by building features or fixing bugs in Stride, dive into the source code and get involved!
ðŠķ Contribute content
If you aren't comfortable in creating code or have knack for writing, consider contributing to the website or documentation!
Other ways of contributing
- ðŪ Creating games, tutorials and blogs - you are massively helping us with spreading the word about the engine just by using it. You can showcase your projects in our Community resources.
- ðĢïļ Community activity - we don't have a big marketing budget and rely on the community to grow. You can get involved in discussions on our Discord and GitHub Discussions.
- ð Submit bug reports - Stride doesn't use telemetry, so the only way to let us know that something is broken is by creating an issue on GitHub.
- ð PR reviews - going over pull requests to the engine, docs and website takes a lot of time, so having an extra pair of eyes to look over these changes can speed up this process.
