LÖVE

There are also interesting games already using 3d libraries, one of them is "Hoarder's Horrible House of stuff" which is very nice looking and cool sokoban game, you can see it here: viewtopic.php?t=90053

But it can still do pretty well for a smallish 3D project. Definitely not to be ruled out if you want to make something neat. Everyone does 3D libraries because they like the challenge. It's like people still making games for old consoles like the NES. It's really awesome and a challenge to conform to the restrictions and try and see how good of a game you can make. Or people who use PICO-8, which is like a more limited Löve with its own dev environment, but super high restrictions. The amount of stuff people have made in PICO-8 is ridiculous.

It is indeed feasible to make 3D games with löve, since it uses OpenGL under the hood (which is hardware accelerated).
The only downside is that you'll need to code most of it yourself, since löve doesn't give you most of the tools other engines do, to make your life easier (which does mean you have more freedom though, some people enjoy that concept more)

Also, the engine's name is "Löve", "love2d" is just the domain name, nothing else; it has no bearing on what kinds of things are possible to be made with it... i'm making audio tools with it, for instance.

And perhaps because using that, others can make their own 3D stuff easier and/or faster.
