Game Dev Secrets: Game Engines! #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #unity

(by the way, just wanna say that I LOVE using Unity, it's a super fun engine that I really enjoy - I didn't have room in the script to mention all that, but if you're against Godot for whatever reason, Unity is a strong recommend from me as well)

The game that I'm developing as an indie game dev is called Isadora's Edge! A 2D Pixel Art platformer game, that I'm developing in the Godot Game Engine! If you're new to Godot or have any questions about Godot or game dev in general, feel free to ask me! #indiegame #gamedesign #godot #godotengine #gaming #gamedevelopment #pixelart #gameengine

Thank you!

Unity CEO came from EA games what else you expected

I will never forgive Unity for being the reason Silksong was delayed for another 12 years.

The problem with companies doing this -- Unity, WotC/Hasbro, etc. -- is that even if they panic and backpedal, there's a 100% chance that they'll just find another route to screw their users that doesn't cause as much backlash.

Probably the only downside of Godot is there are not enough content about it. Many tutorials are for beginers only. But if you have some experience on another game engine, it is not that hard to transfer that knowledge to Godot. You can basically watch/read Unity tutorials and apply them in Godot if you know what you are doing.

I also really like Godot! But to be fair, there are other cool alternatives like Defold and GDevelop. Both are very promising and have their own unique features!

That game footage should a be bonus level or something

Thanks for making this video, it cements and reaffirms the decision on using the Godot game engine.

Btw, there's another option if you can handle it: use any of the existing frameworks like SDL/löve2d/pygame/SFML/etc. There's no editor, you have to do everything in code, and you have to implement features that are available by default in existing engines. But, you gain way more control over every aspect of your game.

Open Source Everything. Power to the people!

godot is just spectacular in every way, the ui, the node system, the custom coding language.

I re-downlosded unity and gave it another chance. Man, it took 20 min to download + install. Plus another 10 to open the projekt. Compiling takes long too. Back to Godot

[AJDojutrek]

I started my game on Unity, but I migrated to Godot for other reasons in addition to it being Open Source. I recommend it for any hobbyist Game Developer.

Mainly It's a bloated program and not very lightweight on a systems resources. Additionally, while many features are pretty nice to have I don't need all of it for a 2D/Fake-3D Shoot'em Up. Also, Unity Hub is abysmal and only gets in the way.

I like this channel alot. I am quickly able to learn not only how things work but why they work. Its way better than telling someone what to do. Thanks for your efforts

They already set fire to their business, I don't know why anyone would stick with Unity after that stunt.

[sorcdk]

From how I understand it, they were not supposed to be able to change those terms of the older versions in the first place, so them promising not to do it for current ones seems more like "we recognised that doing that would just end up with legal trouble for us".

THANK YOU SO i’ve been wondering which engine to get for months while i came up for the premise of a game i’ve been planning to make, thx!!!!

[vpumpking.]

As a contributor to the godot project, I find it amazing how it grows in popularity so fast 😊

[chysero]

The only other game I know that uses Godot is Brotato, and that game is peak so I'm glad that you are using it

always important to consider what the business implications that your technology choices impact
