Hello peeps.

Since I noticed no FOSS/Proprietary games like Twisted Metal exists, I want to make a FOSS version.

I don't have a name set, but "Twisted Steel" sound right.

Should I create this?

(I'm considering using Godot as I'm no advanced programmer.)

Like the idea, but I'd probably work on a basic demo before worrying too much about final touches like names.

Yeah, you're right.

I'll see what I can do.

Why? You've got to give the git repository a name anyway.

When you're building a house, you start with a foundation, not hanging the house numbers. If you want to hang the numbers you at least need to get to the point that the external walls are built.

If you don't know what the house's address is going to be then you absolutely shouldn't be building it.

Every project needs a name. You can use a working title if you want (although you should choose even that title carefully since it might affect things like function and variable names) but if you've already got an idea for a finalized title then why not use it?

I'll support petty much any FOSS project, so yes
