  i'm a lone developer, not much contact with others. but others maybe in contact with their countries' developer community and they should spread there that gideros is cool.

  I don't get how could it be possible that an engine so good - as gideros has ever been - has a so small community.
  It seems that its LUA cousins are thriving but they don't look "better" under any point of view, except the size of their communities: and that's a dog chasing its tail. That's why I suggested to put some donations in online ads: maybe there is people who is looking for gideros, but have no option to be exposed to its existence because everyone else is talking about other worse (I am biased ) engines.

  certainly it would not hurt if it would appear on more places like:
  https://www.lua.org/showcase.html
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lua_(programming_language)-scriptable_game_engines
  https://www.dragonflydb.io/game-dev/engines/lua

  https://www.gideros.rocks page is nice and clean but it would be perhaps useful to add some more stuff:
  
  - add the good comunity to the list of features
  
  -add some link section to it somewhere with links to these things (and maybe more i missed):
  1. to the forum
  2. link to https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Welcome!
  3. to the github page of gideros
  4. to the showcase https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Made_With_Gideros

  a possible issue? the Mobile in the name Gideros Mobile!?
  People may assume it's only for mobiles
  Possible alternatives:
  -Gideros Studio
  -Gideros SDK
  -Gideros Rocks
  -Gideros?
  
  Where do I see Gideros Mobile:
  -https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Welcome! banner on top left corner
  -the visuals in loading web app
  -the visuals in Gideros/Tools folder
  -in the wiki search bar (Search GiderosMobile)
  -...
  
  How do coders choose to use an engine/framework?:
  -they see/play a great game made with that engine/framework
  -they know they have good documentation
  -they know they have good tutorials
  -they know they have a big community
  
  PS: I submitted an update https://enginesdatabase.com/?pagination=2
  PS2: as you can see competition is hard

  i agree, the mobile in its name is very obsolete.

  On github the 'mobile' name is not there, which is a good start.
  
  Btw i always have issues to define what gideros is. A development enviroment? An sdk? Both? Studio would be then better, but i think it is also misleading, has art-app vibe. framework is perhaps the most close to what it actually is, as far as i understand these words. In any case we should decide.
