nobody will help you
This is a maybe true but bad statement!
It should rather be “Nobody will help you now without giving more details about your concept, some screenshots or a video of how it performs”.
@antrwells I guess because everbody makes an engine (and I already took a look at your code, Thread.Sleep(1) in a loop, really?) you could consider to colaborate with an existing engine project rather than try to find people that will work on yours for free without a yet known direction.
Our “engine's” USP for example is to be high modular, so you only get what you want and it fits into your workflow rather than you having to adapt your workflow to it. Also we're on to make it accessable as much as possible to impaired people by support for screen reader software.

Since it will be crowd funded, I am making the engine open source
If decide to turn it into a closed source project once the funding is done, this won't draw a good picture onto you. Open Source is the way to go for todays software, Unreal is open source and Unity is also partially open source. It is a matter of licensing it but there are ways to solve that as well.
Our project is licensed via AGPLv3 and an Exception that grands us the right to also publish compiled binaries under a different license. This way you are somehow protected against code pirates because the license doesn't permit to embedd the code into closed source projects but you can ship compiled binaries to allow people to make games with it without the need to fully publish their source as well
