    I dunno what's going on with "bashed game engine" but had they honored the site guidelines and used the repo's description it would have been a lot more interesting

    > The open-source Roblox & UEFN alternative giving you freedom to own what you create. An all-in-one, real-time, collaborative game development platform built on Godot.

    Seems to be MIT and "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License" for the game assets

    Played with this a bunch last weekend with some friends. It's fucking awesome. Documentation is lacking and it isn't at the point of Gmod usability, but I see huge potential.

    Right now you can do visual scripting and live code editing is coming in the next update. The developers on Discord are super approachable and helpful.

    Several game developer friends of mine who use Godot are excited to start working with this so they can show off their work and get my feedback in real time.

    I wonder how they plan to monetize given they already have a handful investors.

    Maybe using Figma as an analogy, right after the first paragraph stating a mission of software freedom and ownership, is not advisable.

    This really needs some screenshots and/or video of what it is.

    I like the explicit mention of analytics collection api. But more important what is its place in the Godot ecosystem I wonder.

    Cool concept, I hope they succeed. Anyone know what level of maturity this project is at?

    I checked LICENSE.txt [1]. The code is under the MIT license. The assets are under CC BY 4.0 license. There are two parts (italics added by me) that I would like clarified:

    > Game assets, including but not limited to 3D models, sounds, artwork, and images, are licensed under the CC BY 4.0 license with attribution, unless another license takes precedence. This does not apply to code, which is licensed via the above MIT license.

    ...

    > All other assets of The Mirror, including but not limited to names, logos, trademarks, intellectual property, and branding, are property of The Mirror Megaverse Inc. (c) 2022-present.

    Is any file within the featured Github repository (not including files from the upstream godotengine/godot repo, which is under the MIT license) under a license other than the MIT license or the CC BY 4.0 license?
