Welcome to Kinson Digital!

My name is Calvin Wilkinson. I’m a software engineer who never quite grew out of the "How did they do that?!" phase of playing video games. After years in the industry, military service, and raising a family, I’m now spending much more time doing open-source development! 🚀

What I’m Building

I craft the tools, libraries, and architecture to help people create 2D cross-platform games so you can focus on building your game.
I got tired of setting up the same rendering scaffolding, input handling, and audio pipelines every time I started a game.
So I built Velaptor to handle that layer. The goal is that you write game logic, not boilerplate.

Why Support the Mission?

Building a rendering engine means solving a different hard problem every single week. By sponsoring me, you keep the servers humming, the caffeine flowing, and these tools entirely free for everyone—from solo hobbyists to indie studios.

Other Ways to Support

GitHub Sponsors isn't the only way to chip in. If you prefer a different platform, I'm also on:

• Open Collective — Great for transparency; contributions and expenses are public by default.
• Ko-fi — If you'd rather toss a one-time tip without creating an account.

Every dollar goes toward the same thing: keeping the tools free, the servers running, and the caffeine flowing. ☕
