Marvel Snap Creator Moves to Godot

Second Dinner, the creators of Marvel Snap have announced they "plan to build the most ambitious Godot game yet". Not only are Second Dinner using Godot for their next game, they also announced a multiple year deal with W4Games and have made an unknown investment in the Godot Engine support company.

I moved to Godot also after 3 years in dev on Unity. After 7 months I am farther ahead in Godot that I was in Unity.

[MattEatsMochi]

I think that even tho Second Dinner only has Marvel Snap, its important to remember that Ben Brode was the lead developer on Hearthstone. If he has more faith in Godot than Unity and is committing resources to it? That's more than enough for me.

So Marvel Snap will remain with Unity right now but its creatos will work with godot for upcomings projects. I’m right?

I'm glad Godot is gaining in popularity and usage. While I could be considered an Unreal Engine evangelist, I am engine agnostic and really only care if the engine can help me make a game.
I have no issues switching engines if that's the best case for me.

Also, I feel that UE is losing it's focus on game design, especially since it's marketed for movies, archdviz, etc.

If Mihoyo (Genshin, ZZZ, Honkai Star Rail) make the same move, it would be cataclysmic.

This is really good for everyone else as well, because this will attract more people to godot, and in turn will make more resources available for godot gamedevs. More asset geeared towards godot and more tutorials.

Marvel Snap gets heavy criticism for its performance, let's see if their next game fares better with Godot

[junechevalier]

Unity shouldn’t get away with doing stunts like they did. They effed around they found out

[danfg]

Dinner -> den-er
Diner -> die-ner

[victims]

Sorry if the question is a bit unrelated but does someone know if there's like "tutor programs" to learn how to make specific things in Godot? Like telling someone "I want to do X" and they teach you Godot based on that idea.

[raymk]

I think they don't stop using Unity, but they only start using Godot (while possibly using Unity also) for some of their games

[Dr.Bamboo-dev]

This is so exciting. I love seeing Godot's community grow.

[anon]

I wonder if they still use c# or if they rewrote scripts to GDscript

[Protech-pscw]

😱 i can't believe it's happening 😊

[Skubidi-qyhb]

But I haven’t seen any nice animated gameplay in Godot compared to unity! Or is it because I am missing something? Can anyone guide me with best Godot tutorial?

[ArtsByJimTTV]

Id love to learn godot I just don't know where to start

[sekaus]

The only thing that I missing is Better multi-threading.

[gomo]

Only bad thing about godot is there is not much 3d tuts on yt

[micmacha]

I keep having to tell new initiates that yes, Godot does have a learning curve; but it's not nearly as bad as they think. If you can handle Blender or Photoshop, you'll have Godot down in a week tops.

Marvel Snap was super-popular, but is already at the end of its lifespan (mobile "long tail" can be short or long). This is interesting, but this is Second Dinner's next in-house game - not necessarily their next Marvel/licensed-IP game. Also "multi-year strategic partnership" likely means that W4 is paying Second Dinner upfront, similar to Apple Arcade, Amazon Luna, Game Pass in its early days, etc. Will see how it goes, wish the Second Dinner guys all the best!
