Author on the line. Thanks for the shoutout!

:cl-bodge itself is still an experimental tech that has barely any documentation - I won't recommend using it directly, unless you are happy tinkerer that ain't afraid of guts from hell.

:trivial-gamekit though is a stable framework that have much better documentation and strives to be as simple as possible. Nothing experimental about it. It's dangerous to go alone into jams with CL-based games, take gamekit with you. The fact that it is based on :cl-bodge at the moment is an implementation detail.

:alien-works is an attempt to reuse everything C/C++ gamedev world has and drive it from CL without too much blood bolting from eyes. It's not very experimental - just some conventional stuff piled together, but still is in early stages of development (although it has passed proof-of-concept phase).
