I've never heard of this before. Nice to have other variations. https://www.redotengine.org/ I wonder why they forked Godot. Also they don't like to mention it at all it seems: https://docs.redotengine.org/en/stable/about/introduction only at the bottom as

If I were a game developer, I would probably stick to Godot unless there is a really good reason for relying on this fork. One has to trust them fully.

    They got mad at Godot mods blocking homophobes or smth I think

    Some nob on twitter was having a whinge about all these "woke games" that use game engines because they're too lazy/unable to code them themselves.

    Godot vague-posted a response saying, "apparently game engines are woke now?" And asked people to share their "wokot games." Ensue further whingefest, complaining about discord mods, yadda yadda. Long story short, a project created out of anti-woke spite isn't one I'd rely on.

    For those curious about how this fork came to be, KnowYourMeme had a decent rundown: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/godot-engine-user-blocking-controversy-wokot

    Is this a spinoff of godot?

    What was wrong with working with Godot that made them want to fork?

    I guess forking is an easy way to benefit from others' work.

    I'm wondering if there is any game developer that chooses this fork knowing that it will likely not keep up with upstream features and fixes.
