I've been looking into making my own game using the Trial engine but I was a bit scared off by the warnings about API stability and lack of documentation. Now that Kandria is released, is the API stabilized? And I guess the Kandria source code can work as documentation on how to set things up..

#78Looks awesome! It's relatively rare to see fully completed games open-sourced immediately. I'm curious what the thought process is there, and if you're concerned about people selling low-effort reskins or other exploitative things.
It is far more important to me to show confidence in my vision and to let other people learn from what I've done. In my view a lot more games should be open source, because far too much of the process is hidden behind mysticism, with far too many people wasting a ton of time reinventing things from scratch.
And, well, finally, I'd ultimately like to make everything I do available for free, anyhow. The only reason I'm selling Kandria is because there is no UBI in this country and probably won't be for many years to come, so I have to fund things somehow.
