As of February 18, 2026, the Redot Foundation, a United States 501(c) nonprofit organization registered in the State of Arkansas, has been publicly announced as the sole steward of the Redot Engine, and the Redot Project and its community as a whole.
Through this role, the Redot Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that all tools, educational assets, and other offerings of the Redot Project remain independent, freely accessible, and free from corporate control, royalties, or political alignment. Through transparent governance, active community support, and shared community stewardship, the Redot Foundation affirms its commitment to safeguarding the long-term independence, continuity, and success of the Redot Project.
Core Mission
The Redot Foundation is committed to preserving and advancing the Redot Project while fostering a global community built on developer freedom, collaboration, and opportunities for growth. The Foundation provides free and accessible education across a broad range of game development disciplines through tutorials, guides, structured courses, and mentorship programs, including internship opportunities within the Redot Project.
The Redot Foundation emphasizes accessibility, performance, and unrestricted creative freedom, empowering developers of all backgrounds to learn, create, and contribute without barriers.
Our Commitment
In a world increasingly dominated by proprietary engines, restrictive or polarizing communities, and rising barriers to education, the Redot Foundation is committed to providing:
Uncompromising Freedom
No corporate control, no forced ideological alignment, and no barriers to entry.
Community at the Core
Built by developers, for developers, with decisions guided by the community it serves.
Education for All
Free courses, guides, assets, and mentorship opportunities for developers of all skill levels, disciplines, and backgrounds—regardless of prior knowledge or experience.
A Respectful and Inclusive Community
Every developer starts somewhere. All voices are valued, growth is encouraged, and participation is welcomed without gatekeeping, hostility, or ego-driven barriers.
Sustainability and Longevity
Ensuring the Redot Project, its tools, assets, and educational initiatives continue to thrive through transparent funding, community contributions, and responsible stewardship.
