Is the engine dead? #173

I think this is the best javascript game engine out there, it would be such a same for it to go to waste since it has incredible potential, are there any plans for the project to be kept alive?

@chatzijohn Sorry for replying so late, but I've seen some recent commits on superpowers-game which is the actual game engine if that helps.

This particular project is the core for the real-time collaboration / server stuff, not the game engine module.

Currently there are other javascript 2D (/ 3D pending) game engines that could also interest you and also have active contributors and sponsorship like GDevelop or the more incipient ct.js

GDevelop uses Pixi.js, React, Typescript and Electron, while ct.js uses JavaScript, Pixi.js and NW.js as far as I know.

I've personally asked GDevelop developers in the past to consider developing integration with superpowers-core and superpowers-app for the potential of real-time collaboration and because GDevelop's lead dev is also French, like Elisée and Nicolas, so there could probably have more affinity with cross-development for these technologies, however I haven't got a reply.

There is no other JS/TS game engine for 3D easy and intuitive like Superpowers
