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 have a explanation here. they claim part of the problem was banning people who are harmless and not homophobes (they show at least one comment ).

They got mad at Godot mods banning 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.
