Why Use The Godot Game Engine?

Im finishing nictophobia for android on unity, it was to advanced to scrap it and its scheduled for october, but after that I am checking another engine, godot seems to be a fast engine, if you are an indie that is the first thing that you want, because you need to publish basic games fast, but the fact that the language is similar to python instead of c# or java is not good starting, kind of dislike python. also I will need support for 3d android development, I mean for 2d I can just use android studio instead.

Hey, you need to update the video on the new unity pricing :p

This week would be a good time for an update, eh?

Kind of saw unreal is worse than unity for real?

Unity decided to help you emphasize your point.

Good thing you uploaded this 6 months in advance!

I think that it's fair to say that Unity themselves gave us an answer to this question.

Unity prices are different now

Not interested in running on Linux? SteamDeck?

I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm guessing it aged well.

I was wondering about the "no good games are made with Godot" argument. Can someone please explain why so few good games are made with Godot? Is it because of the engine? Or is it unpopular with the "good" developers?

Some of my favorite games was made with Gamemaker - Hyperlight Drifter, Undertale and Forager. It seems like Godot has just as good features, of not better?

I'm sold on it... I'm uninstalling Unity when I get home.

And a new reason from Sept 2023! It's not an unstable BS business model like Unity, apparently!

So cool to me that the Godot game engine is basically a Godot game

yes 😂It is on play store too. 37 mb.

the answer has been revealed

The open source aspect has certainly aged well

This video needs to be updated

well theres one more reason now lol

With Unity's hotly controversial Terms of Service update going into effect Jan 1st 2024, and major fees being retroactively applied to previous successful releases under Unity, Godot is looking more attractive than ever now!!

Aged like fine whisky in an oak barrel

Theres a better reason to use it now. lol

Video needs updated, especially the Unity info about it never gonna cost you.

Im here because of "Unity Fee Armageddon". We have mobile game with 100 mln downloads. We are discussing the idea of rewriting the game with different game engine, the game is actually 2.5D puzzle so it could be done 1 month of all game logic (except the support of ads, analytics and other back-end bullshit)

Godot could be good choice for us, because of it's support of C#, so migration could me quite fast, as a lot of source code could be reused but... Godot 4.0 does not support C# for iOS. Godot just dont seems to be ready to replace Unity as mobile first engine. And this is sad. Godot is the most similiar engine to Unity (and Unreal) so of cource it COULD replace Unity for mobile, but it would definitely take time for engine to has that production quality.

As far as I understand, the big problem might be the performance of the games. Benchmark does not show any advantage of Godot over Unity, its even a bit slower. Please if im wrong tell me!!! So no advantages as far as I understand.

P.S. In our case we are looking as Defold to be alternative, as it is much faster then Unity and we would be able to produce web HTML5 version also. Godot like Unity lacks of WebGL support.

the only games i know that were made in godot were all 2d, so i was a little worried I'd have to finagle my way into a 3d game if i wanted. And with Unity self destructing, i was worried that i might have to pay for 2 different engines to try and make the 2d and 3d games i want to make. so thanks for the reassurance that godot can be my replacement of unity!

welp another rabbit hole to jump to

lol let's remove unity for now

Is UPBGE worth talking about? Its a GPL license instead of MIT, but I'm wondering if it stacks up.

I was recommended this video, for some mysterious reason.

You sir are a liar stride 3d is free and open source

Another reason is what happened last week, with the Runtime install fees from unity xD

"There is never going to be a price tag on the unity engine, if there is, it's because you're making bank."

Ahead of it's time lmao

Unity answered the question for us.

Aged like fine wine

on linux, unity is buggy and unreal just didnt launch

Who's here because of the Unity news? 😂💀

well that aged well

why an indie game will not make a million dollar? don't say that, i think games like stray made more than that

new reason to use godot.

Unity is about to start charging $0.20 per installation, including pirated copies and demos

this aged well

I'm here because of the new Unity pricing plan.
I was learning Unity, but now I'm switching to Godot.

Cuz c# and no installment fees babyyyyy

With the news about Unity that just came out, I am actually considering switching to Godot or UE.

Why not choose Godot? Why not Zoidberg?

Unity just sent me to this video.
