This is kind of huge, isn’t it? I’ve been seeing this engine around for a while (it was still in closed alpha I believe) and it seemed really well done. It’s a Godot fork that’s intended to be a simpler experience like Roblox, where it has visual scripting, handles all the multiplayer itself, and allows you to create worlds collaboratively with friends and co-workers in real-time.

The only thing people seemed iffy about was monetization and its closed-source nature, but now that it’s here and FOSS, anyone think it might blow up and be a great introduction to game development for beginners and kids?

I’ll probably test it and see how it is later, but it does seem like it’s still in alpha.

    BASED!!!

    1. Is it intended for making online multiplayer games?

    2. Will such games be integrated into a platform?

    3. If said platform exists, will the mods try not to be prudish with what gets published?

      1. Yes

      2. It seems like they have a platform/launcher with user-created content in it. They get 10% marketplace fee but since it’s fully open source you can probably publish your game outside of their platform.
