I applied too with a demo and video, and never heard anything (ok, they stated that you only hear from them in case of positive outcome), but not even looking at that stuff…
Then, at least from my personal POV, half of the DevGrants going to companies that not even remotely need them as opposed to indie devs with great concepts, like the procedural animation plugin in this thread…Well, thats a bit demotivating for us.
Please note that i am not saying that i deserve a dev . There are probably many others that got better showcases than me, but dont even looking at the actual submissions is a bummer.
