Become a sponsor to Julien Von Der Marck

Heyyyyy! I’m Julien, the creator and maintainer of Dinosaur Exploder🦖—a free, open-source shoot ’em up game built in Java using JavaFX and FXGL.

What started as a fun university project has grown into a collaborative, beginner-friendly codebase where contributors from all backgrounds can get hands-on experience with game development. I actively maintain the game, write documentation, manage contributions, and help newcomers get up to speed.

Your sponsorship directly supports:

  • Ongoing development of new features, graphics, and game mechanics
  • Writing clear, accessible documentation for learners
  • Improving community onboarding and mentoring contributors
  • Keeping the project alive and fun for everyone 🎮

If you enjoy the game or want to support open-source gaming, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Every sponsor helps me invest more time, tools, and love into this project—and grow a welcoming dev community around it.

Let’s build cool stuff together! 🚀
