[x3d-public] Game IDEs, Game DSLs, X3DOM Component Editor

Please update my Wikipedia pages, if you know about game DSLs and game IDEs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_integrated_development_environment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_entertainment_language

Most of my attention has been on games on my Roku (I highly recommend the Roku, but not for 3D) or PS4.

I’m not disregarding the games industry, I just pay attention to collaborative cross-platform 3D game engines in JavaScript with a built in web IDE.  What do you suggest?   As a web programmer,  I feel compelled to use an IDE that runs in the web.  It’s like eating your own dog food.   Why do you as a web programmer or games programmer get to use this super fancy IDE, and then you leave your users to a crippled web app?  Thus, I program in vim, bash, and occasionally, PlayCanvas, if I’m developing a 3D app.  I’m looking for a web-based 3D IDE that will additionally export VRML/X3D to start seriously getting into authoring/programming VRML/X3D for the web.  If I was a VR programmer, I would use Unreal Editor VR Mode.

I finally found this!  But it exports it’s own JSON format.

Cool!  Can I update this so it exports something compatible with X3DJSONLD?  Wow!  Can I work on this, at least to import/export X3D JSON?  Maybe hook it up to GitHub?

Anything else?
