Godot

“you don't have access to all the NuGet libraries, or even CLR/MSIL abilities, it is a hit and miss depending on what platforms are being targeted”

“although GDScript has performance issues, if you use GDScript it's easy to port to mobile and web games”

“Godot, Unity, Stride, Flax and even jank niche engines like NeoAxis generally have pretty good C# integration!”

“Godot is great for sure. The animation system is a delight and the python-like gdscript is easy to use.”

“Godot hit this really nice sweet spot of consistent UX, complete enough features to get you by as an indie”

“It's massively easier to make progress on even just a 2D game with something like GDScript-based Godot”

“Having a reasonably stable OSS option has removed the last major argument that I am familiar with for simply using what already exists.”

“Engines like Unity or Godot are also well suited for 2D games and don't have the problem you have described.”

“Godot and agents have taken most of the pain I remembered from my childhood attempts at game dev out of the equation”

“Getting up and running in Godot was surprisingly, blindingly fast, so I don't regret picking it at all.”

“performance has been a nightmare to the point where I've offloaded most of my code into pure C# and out of Godot”

“the current maintainer of the renderer portion of the Godot engine suffering through all the bug reports from Android devices”

“Developers in a stressful industry want tools they can trust, not buggy unstable things that are constantly changing”

“Godot is spending resources on porting itself to phones while it has so many serious outstanding issues”

“Their editor isn't uniquely ergonomic. In fact, for about 3 releases, one of the highest requested objects was multiple tabs at the same time.”

“Godot, on the other hand, is avoiding this. While it might not be as trendy, I think it'll be a competitive advantage in the long term.”

“Some projects , like Godot are MIT so contributors can use it for their own commercial projects.”

“The main problem that I have run into is shader compilation stutters on the compatibility render.”

“Godot is so driven by whatever sounds neat to work on that it has three completely different rendering systems, all buggy and mediocre.”

“I had very few issues, sometimes I had to direct CC to the godot docs and we could keep moving.”

“if they focused on the core engine more, then deltaV: Rings of Saturn wouldn't have odd performance issues”

“You might be interested in the features Godot provides for this. Particularly, the thing that makes it interesting is the 'process mode'”

“If a German college decides 200$ is too much they can use Godot or a variety of free alternatives.”

“With design choices they made, Godot will never be performant enough for RTS/Crown simulation games.”

“There are a few non-game applications made with it, and they've recently added a docs page tailored to non-game application development”

“It is extremely easy to do, since LLMs can write everything in godot and godot template files too.”

“anything with strong conventions and heavy LLM training data (Godot, Phaser, Love2D) will work better”

“It's been very easy turning the Godot editor into a custom editor for my game by writing some simple plugins”

“As a user of libGodot embedded into our existing c++ tech stack, I can say we do not have this issue.”

“in the battle for a free ecosystem in video games, we must all join forces towards a single goal”

“We haven't really seen any issues with those decisions beyond just working out the communication between Godot and DLL.”

“Never had any issues, using the Godots (sic) version manager from Flathub, and custom built versions from git.”

“4.6 is working great on Wayland. I created a new .desktop shortcut pointed to Godot_v4.6-stable_linux.x86_64 with argument "--display-driver wayland". Working flawlessly, thank you.”

“Godot from project setup to running on my Android is way more effortless/lightweight experience than doing the way of AndroidStudio and/or Flutter stuff.”

“I've been following the github issue for C# web export and let me tell you: It's not been a priority.”

“Godot on the other hand, really feels like you are being handed meaningful simple building blocks to make whatever you want.”

“what impresses me the most about Godot is how lightweight and self-contained it can be while still being cross-platform on both ends”

“Godot still has a lot to catch up, especially when considering the folks that rather target consoles and VR headsets with C#.”

“Godot isn't quite free if you want to release on consoles since those platforms are only supported by commercial forks”

“I get cross-platform support out-of-the-box. I don't even have to recompile or write platform-specific code”
