Keep the
Work Alive.
No VC. No publisher. No ads. mrpiglr has funded every server, every product, and every program out of pocket since 2017. Everything here stays free because of that. Help keep it that way.
§ 01 — HOW TO HELP
Three ways to support.
Pick what fits where you are right now.
Show Up
Join the Discord at discord.gg/athx. Participate. Bring other builders. 6,700+ members and growing — the community is the foundation. No cost. Highest impact.
Contribute
Everything is open source at git.aethex.tech. If you can build — code, design, documentation, testing — you can contribute. No gatekeeping on participation.
Donate or Partner
Donations go directly to infrastructure and programs. Not yet tax-deductible (501(c)(3) pending) but every dollar is tracked and publicly accounted for. Studios and companies can partner formally — reach out at support@aethex.org.
§ 02 — TRANSPARENCY
Where the money goes.
The Foundation operates on full public accountability. Nothing is hidden.
Infrastructure
Servers & Hosting
VPS, domains, SSL, storage, CDN. Every service the Foundation runs is self-hosted on hardware paid for personally. No cloud bills going to a company — it goes to keeping things live.
Programs
GameForge & Community
Forge Jam events, cohort administration, community tools, and education resources. Every program is free to participants. That's only possible if the infrastructure stays funded.
§ 03 — CONTACT
Get in touch.
Discord is instant. Email is for formal inquiries. Both get read.
