+game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface, based on Godot Engine.** It provides a
+comprehensive set of common tools, so that
users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can
be exported with one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop
platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as

-community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their
-expectations. It is supported by the [Godot Foundation](https://godot.foundation/)
-not-for-profit.

-Godot had been developed by [Juan Linietsky](https://github.com/reduz) and
-[Ariel Manzur](https://github.com/punto-) (both still maintaining the project)
-for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire
