Open source, in the open

Hi, I’m Valithor Obsidion. On GitHub I’m @valzargaming.

I build and maintain the DiscordPHP ecosystem and a shelf of ReactPHP libraries and bots. Your sponsorship keeps them fed, patched, and moving.

My mission

My work is grounded in science, curiosity, and practical problem-solving. I believe in testing ideas, sharing knowledge, and improving our methods when the evidence supports it. AI-assisted programming belongs in that process, alongside human understanding, careful review, and responsibility for the result.

I also respect art as an expression of human creativity. The skill, intent, and effort behind creative work deserve recognition. Respecting that work means crediting its contributors and honoring the terms under which it is shared.

My goal is to build useful, accessible technology through open collaboration, while supporting both scientific progress and artistic expression.

Game in development

Build a frontier together

Frontier Systems is a cooperative, persistent engineering simulation in development. Mine finite resources, transport materials, refine them and build physical structures in an early source prototype. Moon and Mars colonies, spacecraft and orbital infrastructure are the longer-term vision.

Help fund the next playable milestones, or follow the code and verified progress. Support funds initial development; it is not a finished-game preorder or a promise of a release date.

What your sponsorship supports

Sponsorship supports the libraries, bots, websites and games on this shelf — issue triage, release chores, keeping up with API breakage, and the docs. Each project documents its own license.

Sponsoring is the whole business model

There’s no paid tier, no open-core bait-and-switch, no rug pull planned. If these libraries save you a sprint, chip in so the next release lands on time.
