I think no one expects it to rival unity or other real 3D engines, but for me the possibility for really simple 3D would be more than OK. I do not have the time to play with full 3D (models, worlds, etc), but would like to play with something easy and not time-consuming (and love2d is perfect for this)

Is it because I am running on Mesa?

There is no GL_EXT_gpu_shader4 extension...
Anyways, cube demo works great!

Edit: How can I paint cubes with a solid color?

#ifdef VERTEX
	attribute vec4	v_position;

	uniform mat4	u_projection;
	uniform mat4	u_view;
	uniform mat4	u_model;

	vec4 position(mat4 transform_projection, vec4 vertex_position) {
		return u_projection * u_view * u_model * v_position;
	}
#endif

#ifdef PIXEL
	uniform vec4 u_color = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0);

	vec4 effect(vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords) {
		return u_color;
	}
#endif

The sweet spot wouldn't be a Call of Duty kind of game, but maybe more of the Smash Bros or Don't Starve type of games which are mostly 2d with 3d in some spots.

One interesting use case I've seen other game devs do is create 3d models in Blender but export them into 2d animation sprites for their 2d games. Having the source model be in 3d lets them easily create new animations and different perspectives of existing animations which cuts down a lot of animation time. Being able to load the 3d models directly would cut out another step in that process. I'm assuming that Unity can do that with their 2d mode, but fuck Unity.
