Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

3D desktop Game Engine scriptable in Python
For open source 3d engines that use Python check out Panda3D or Ursina. They're both a blast to use and let you write your codd how you want.

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
Panda3D: Let's you make games with c++ and python. I don't think there is an "editor" or anything like that with this engine, but it does look like there have been some decent games made with it. Could be good for smaller games. Modified BSD License.

Game Development Post-Unity
I know a lot of people recommend Godot because it's super good but if you want a more code oriented and batteries included engine I recommend Panda3D [0] it's open source, super mature (it's actually one of the oldest continously developed game engines), and can be used form Python and C++. Not sure why it's not more popular it's flexiable and super fun to use.

What are some of the most impressive uses of photogrammetry in games that you've seen?
Some of the game engines we have now have photogrammetry technology built-in, meaning that developers can easily integrate it into their games. This allows for even more detailed and realistic environments to be created in 3D games. The most prominent being Unreal, Unity, and Lumberyard -- including new and beginner-friendly ones like Panda3D and Yahaha. All of these game engines have photogrammetry at their core to help developers create realistic 3D models and textures quickly and efficiently.

Here are some tips on mentoring junior developers in a collaborative team?
Make sure to provide your junior developers or any new members with the resources and tools they need to succeed. This could include coding books (The Self-Taught Programmer was my favorite before), online tutorials, or access to development tools and software. There are game engines available that can be a training ground for new devs, some of the game engines I’ve tried are Panda3D, GameMaker and Godot. I’ve also tried newer engines like Yahaha, but this one is pretty easy compared to other engines so there’s really not much of a challenge. The point is, no matter what resources and tools you provide, make sure they are tailored to the skill level of your junior developers.

The Icculus Microgrant is giving out 250 dollar grants to open source projects, please brag about your project(s) in this thread so I can see them!
It's not my project, but https://www.panda3d.org/ is to my knowledge the next best step after Unity and Unreal game engines. Unlike those, panda is open source and available for C++ and Python.

Ask HN: Released games built on FOSS engines?
On a similar note, released games with open sourced code: https://osgameclones.com/?tag=official
https://torque3d.org was used on Airship Dragoon, Marble Blast Gold, Penny Arcade Adventures, Legions: Overdrive and descends from the original Tribes engine.

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
Torque 2D/3D: Didn't do too much digging around on this one, but both versions are MIT licensed like Godot, but it seems like the project is a little more mature, with built-in multiplayer support. Could be worth looking into as an alternative to Godot if you really want something with MIT licensing.

How do you protect your game assets from infringement? Asking for suggestions
Torque3D- This one seems great for beginners, as it's free and open-source. The downside is, I'm not sure if it has enough features for complex projects or how secure it is.

Star Citizen, a videogame stuck in development for 10+ years. Scam? Something completely fresh? r/Gaming discusses
No lie, that overall looks a lot like a game done for a senior design project 15+ years ago using Garage Games' (now https://torque3d.org/) RTS kit.
