## What it is
Redot Engine is a free, open-source, community-driven fork of Godot for building 2D and 3D games from a unified node-based editor. It supports one-click export to desktop, mobile, web, and console platforms under the MIT license.

## Use cases
- build a 2D pixel-art game
- create a 3D game with a free open-source engine
- export a game to desktop, mobile, and web from one project
- find a Godot alternative with community-driven governance
- make an XR or VR prototype
- develop a cross-platform game without royalties

## When to choose
- you want a fully open-source, MIT-licensed engine with no royalties
- you need both 2D and 3D support in one editor
- you prefer community-driven development over corporate stewardship
- you want one-click multi-platform exports including web and mobile

## When to avoid
- you need the largest ecosystem of tutorials, plugins, and marketplace assets
- your team relies on Godot's official release cadence and support
- you require AAA-scale console tooling or proprietary engine features
- you want a fork with a long independent track record - Redot forked from Godot in 2024
