uh, i do read the forums from time to time. But I never read
anything about project aurora. I inititally thought this

'aurora' was the name for my engine for years. (i do have a
working deferred rendering engine, the published one is just
my ongoing rewrite to clean up the existing one and add tile
based rendering).
Having two 3D engines with the same name is stupid indeed, so
we have two choices:
1. I rename my project. (name suggestions are welcome)
2. We combine effort.
please contact me on github or irc (#d or #d.de)

I think because of timezones I keep missing you. I live on the
US West Coast so we're a few hours apart. I do apologize for
the naming confusion. Walter and I picked the name a few weeks
ago without any knowledge of your work at the time. If you
would be willing to rename your engine that would be very
appreciated. As for combining efforts, it would mean that you'd
have to conform to the goals of Aurora, and I don't know that
you'd want too. And it might actually be better to have your
engine separate as more of purpose-built game engine where
Aurora is targeted at a more general graphics audience. Those
are my thoughts, what are you thinking?
As we have no interrest in interfering with your efforts, we have
decided to rename our engine. The new name - three.d suits us
well and I believe that way both sides can be happy.
Our engine will be implemented with performance in mind which
unfortuntately contradicts with your design ideas.
