Interview with one of the <em>
"Redot Engine"</em>
 founders, Andrew.</p>
<p>
Redot Engine is a fork of the famous free and open source project "Godot engine".</p>
<p>
<br>
</p>
<p>
<em>
NOTE: </em>
This is my first time interviewing someone for a podcast, so feel free to point out any improvements and critiques I can learn from.</p>
<p>
<br>
</p>
<p>
After an introduction about the reasons the project was created, we focus on other engines, on the videogame console situation, on a FOSS licensing debate, on Redot's future and on C language interoperability.</p>
