What game engine will I use for my game?

711 vs 911

"Hi everyone, my name is Jace and I'm the community ma…" Wait… Still sounds weird not hearing you say that intro anymore xD

Hi @Jace. Can you do a followup on choosing Godot and the issue with Unity that blowing up. and your reaction to the unity issue. Plz with a Lizzard doggo wagging its tail

@Jace Do you ever think back to the moment you decided to use Godot over say… I dunno, Unity i guess… and just smile?

Dodged a unity bullet 😉

This decision aged really well!! 🙂

11 days into the future here, you dodged a bullet with Unity LOL. In all seriousness, I love Godot and the whole project, and its getting better with every release. Good choice!

I thought the first thing a developer had to decided on when considering which engine to use was if he was going to be pigeon-holed into using a specific online store when his game becomes popular.

Why not use Defold or LÖVE with Lua language? For your project, it seems to be more than enough.

Good luck with Godot, it is absolutely chaulk full of bugs and even the work arounds needs work arounds– wish I wasn't as deep into it as I am and could switch, but alas… sunken cost and $, and too deep to swim out now. One of the worst performing engines I ever had the mispleasure to work with, lol.

Godot may well be a good match for you especially as C# matures for it. I've not played with it for a few years and I ended up using GDScript at the time as C# wasn't doing well yet. If it's still lightweight in comparison to Unity and UE then that's definitely still a good plus for it 🙂

Oh boy yes yes Godot 4 tutorial series is coming!!

Looking forward to your game dev progress with Godot 4

I've been using Unity since Unity 5 came out and only recently have gotten into Godot Engine. So far so good and I love the low file size it has.

Our current version of the unigine 2 engine is 2.17 ?

Try to make a first-person shooter game with the unigine engine 2 and make a video of making a game on the engine ?

I mooved to godot for my project for a while now and i love it ! Scene inheritance and custom resources are amazing.

I don't think the revenue argument is a sound one for Unreal Engine as a solo developer. It only applies to revenue made after $1 million (gross) – and it is "only" 5%. It also does not count revenue earned if selling your game through the Epic Games Store (where they take a 12% cut from whatever sales you make, compared with Steam's 30%). If in a given quarter you make less than $10000 in revenue on your game, it also doesn't count. Given an average software developer salary in Sweden of approx 70-75000EUR a year, you'd have to make a game which basically takes care of the rest of your life (provided you invest properly) before you ever begin to pay any money to Epic.

are you Филип Киркоров ?

i wonder what that last one is on the thumbnail

Godot is good i am a unreal engine 5 dev and i switch aha to godot the community is much better and godot is so fast

The people that are making godot recently made a different company for the console support.
Since the console porting things aren't open source they can't be added in the main project that is open source, and now they're developing it in another company.

One good reason for using different engines, if you have the luxury of doing so, is the same as learning different programming languages. The more languages you learn the better you get as a programmer. Each language/engine works differently. They have their pros/cons. By working with several different languages and engines you get a broader and better understanding, and even if a feature is missing in one engine or language you can still use the lessons you learned to improve your code and techniques.

Of course, that's easier to do when still in school. Trying to do it while making a game to earn money can be difficult, and might not be worth the effort.

The answer to "Why does it work this way?" is usually just other instances of "Why does it work this way?"

I've found Godot fairly approachable. The C# support has improved a lot in the last few years. Godot script is fine, I guess, but my day job is in C#, and that's really what I want to be using.
