Seven Minutes to Decide On Godot 4 in 2024

Early Access Starting Jan 30

------------------------------------------
🖋 SYNOPSIS

The Godot Game Engine has come a long way since it was first launched. If you're just getting started with #gamedev and trying to decide what game engine to choose in 2024 or if you're considering jumping ship from #unity, #unrealengine, or any other game engine, this video helps you get the facts and make up your mind about Godot in just 7 min.

I'm so excited to see Godot developing. It's the same excitement I get with Blender.
Instead of commercial software where you feel like it'll get rug-pulled or stab you in the back at any moment, I'm always thrilled for the future of projects like Blender and Godot!

So, I accept its flaws as I learn to design games, and I'm so infinitely thankful to the Godot community and to GDQuest for guiding me to learn to be a gamedev finally!
I'm happy to work within its current limits because I know it's not going to suddenly betray me, and it belongs to all of us. In the meantime, those "limits" are rapidly disappearing.

I am absolutely in awe with the Godot engine. Ever since I jumped ship with the Unity fee debacle, I picked Godot (I would have gone to Unreal if it wasn't for my midrange laptop).


Safe to say, Open source is the future.

I really liked when godot game engine Incorporated the shortcuts of Blender like grab rotate and scale making the switch from Blender to godot game engine seamless

Godot expands, and so does GDQuest! I love the animations in this video and I have been watching y'all for ~3 years!

GDScript is definitely interesting to learn. I'm also learning Python because a lot of tutorial material is currently missing for GDScript. Godot has strengths and weaknesses like any other Enige. Of course, the fear of the Unity disaster is still breathing down my neck. As long as Godot remains open source with MIT license, I will definitely prefer it. If they go crazy at some point, I'll leave them too, like I did with Unity. In any case, I'm excited to see what will be made of Godot.

3:40 not just one developer, any developer, i mean anyone who is willing to work with you.
if you have tons of money then an proprietary software company might allow you to work direct with one of their employees to squash an bug... maybe...
but using an open source software you are able to hire anyone in the world who is willing to learn the specific code and customize it and tons of people may already be familiar with it since anyone can read/modify/distribute.

heavy paint was also developed in godot, an amazing digital painting app. Incredibly powerful

ALSO please don't get discouraged about learning to code. It took me several years before I really started to enjoy it. It can take time but this channel can get you started!

[StevenDiLeo]

Coming from unreal, one of my reasons looking into it is for size. Unreal projects are always big even in an empty project. For 2d stuff I’d like something a little more light weight so I can more easily dev for mobile and web browser

[ITSJTG]

It has been beautiful to see this project grow throughout the years!

[scotmcpherson]

Seriously and honestly, you have to get comfortable with it before you decide...People judge "with authority" before they understand the first thing about the engine....It's truly an amazing tool to work with and those people who snub their noses at it are really missing out.

[TaurusTheCrazyBull]

My original plan was to either focus learning Godot or Unity and learn the basics of the other option and Unreal, but after recent events, I plan on mainly learning Godot and learning the basics of Unreal, with Godot being the least corruptible of my selection and It being Open Source, I think Godot was the best option overall

[GHNeko]

As someone who jumped ship to Linux, Foss has always been a priority of mine and I've been peeking at Godot more since unity fucked up.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so much. I have little experience with various syntax as my studies were focused more programming concepts rather than learning syntax so really gdscript looks like something I can pick up and build more experience with.

Glad I found this channel

Godot has come so far since the whole Unity debacle and it's development has been staggeringly fast compared to most other engines. In a year or two, I could see it becoming just as competent with 3D as Unity was only a few years ago.

[coanjos]

Sending this video to every single person I know that is a dev or had interest in making games.

[ulrich-tonmoy]

Godot is really viable for APP development great UI dev reactive data binding cross platform single and small file all in one tools

[daskampffredchen]

I did some Unity as a hobby and I recently started to do some Godot and I barely thought that something was more difficult then in Unity but a lot of the time I just thought how easy something was in Godot compared to Unity
Especially 3D GridMaps and most UI Elements

i just got into game dev
i still barly know anything. i started with unity before the big THING that they have done, around 4 months ago
back then it was scary, ididnt know what to do. but i ithink it was for the good, you guys look so awsome, i can see that this engine has a real soul and a lot of sweat put into it.
i like it so much that this is open software, that i am not commited to anything..
i think that in this harsh world, you guys are saviors for what you are doing
im so glad you guys exist, and this video got me so much motivation

[northicewind]

The content quality is insane! Well done!

[GrapeParfait]

Hard disagree GDQuest. There is a iron clad reason to switch. Unity has shown its ire towards its customers, the developers. Unity has shown it is willing to sink its customers. Unity should never be forgiven and unless you're finishing a project, should never be considered again. They're done and dusted in my book.

It's so awesome!! and please go play all these indie games! my fav one is the case of the golden idol, it's a GREAT game i promise
