Fwd: [Contact] Potential support from Steam games

Hey folks, This came in to the contact list and seems like it might be a good idea. Anyone have experience with this? Ted ---------- Forwarded Message --------- From: Sweetlads <admin(a)sweetlads.com> Subject: [Contact] Potential support from Steam games Date: Mar 9 2025, at 12:55 pm To: contact <contact(a)inkscape.org> Hi there, I intend to utilise Inkscape as a tool to help the community create assets for my game via Steam Community Workshop. The amazing thing about the Steam Community Workshop is it allows developers to share revenue earnt from items submitted into the game with both the creator of the item and the software they use. The revenue shared with the software comes out of Steams cut and does not subtract from the creators efforts. In order for Steam to share this revenue, I require a 64 bit Steam ID to link Inkscape's account with my game. I understand this may come with a bit of upfront effort, so allow me to add some context into the potential value from games supporting you this way. The largest game utilising the steam community workshop is Counterstrike with a market cap of $4.6 billion. Creators earn on average $430,000 per contribution (as small as a weapon skin). Earning just a small percentage of this per designer could add up! Thanks again for your tool, and hope I can support you in the near future! _______________________________________________ Contact mailing list -- contact(a)lists.inkscape.org To unsubscribe send an email to contact-leave(a)lists.inkscape.org

Willy worked on the documentation on the dev said and has been looking at a Korean translation. Asked about getting extensions written in python which work like the python extensions in Blender. Martin gave a description ofhow the current extensions work and why it can't be changed into a blender like system. A new system would have to be wirtten. Tav started working on fixing bugs, two down and 2 being worked on. Jabier has a fix for one of them but the fix has to be understood more. There is some complexity in the node tracking system. We all want to talk about the LPE code in Nuerumburg. How we can refactor it into a healthy place would be on the table. Elendil has been working on the 1.4.1 release notes.
