A couple of months ago I released my free and open-source game Tabletop Club, which is a physics sandbox inspired by Tabletop Simulator, and made with the Godot Engine!
Itβs still early days for the project, but Iβve got a ton planned for the game, and Iβm currently working on the first major update!

I think it mostly comes down to the fact that Discord has become so synonymous with PC gaming in general, that it is almost an expectation that if you play games on PC, you more than likely have a Discord account as well. That then creates a feedback loop where it becomes more convenient to use than other platforms, therefore it gets more popular, which makes it more convenient, etc.
The game looks absolutely amazing when itβs running well - Iβm a huge fan of the first game, so Iβm definitely going to get this one as well, Iβm just trying my hardest to be patient and wait for the optimisations to come in firstβ¦
Thank you! The main reason itβs MIT is because I donβt really care if someone takes it and makes it closed source - this version will always be here for people to use and contribute to. Plus, it also opens up the possibility of me forking the project and making another game out of it that actually provides a sustainable revenue π
