Is Godot a meme? Why not just learn Unity instead?

Why would you even go Unity when UE5 is such a powerful engine for indie devs nowadays?

>>718717421 (OP)
why not learn C++ instead and write your own engine

To my understanding Unity and Unreal have really big filesizes

because poorfags can run it more easily on their toasters.

>>718717524
UE is heavy as fuck.

>Is Godot a meme?
why would it be? For 2D and simple 3D it seems to be fine enough. I've been working on a game in Godot for some time now and haven't hit any major hurdles.

>>718717645
this. i want my GTX 970 niggas to still have games to play, since AAAslop 7: bug eyed black lady edition really isn't making a case for upgrades

>>718717421 (OP)
Remember when unity tried to charge devs a fee every time their game installer runs?

>>718717421 (OP)
Didn't Unity slip shady shit into their terms of service? I remember there being some drama about developers having to pay per installation or something a while back

>>718718041
>>718718183
They instantly bent the knee on all that bullshit after getting called out

>>718717524
I want people to play my games above 15 fps

>>718718183
There was. They ran back on it and removed the forced splash screen from free edition to make up for it.

Editor is lighting fast to boot and unbloated
Has most of all the tools you'd want for an engine
Raw performance for empty project is 2-3x that of unity

>>718718242
>>718718276
I feel the damage is already done and everyone jumped ship, can't think of any notable recent games using the engine

>>718717559
I don't get this meme, as far as the 90s studios were already using pre made engines. Stop larping.

>>718717421 (OP)
it fucking sucks lmao

>>718718183
They reverted it but as a corporation they can do whatever they'd like. With Godot you can fuck with it even if they do shit that you dont like

Godot is perfect if you know what you want
It doesnt have the bloat of trying to impress and do everything because it trusts if you want to do something you will.

Unreal just gives you all the shit if you want it or not and it's unweildy in AAA too.

>runs on my toaster laptop
>totally free
>decent community. If there's something hard to do in the engine, usually someone will write a plugin and give it away for free instead of having to pay like the other engines.
>can see the source code and write GDextensions if I ever needed to do bespoke shit
>no bloated shit on by default that makes your game look like a generic asset flip.

>>718717421 (OP)
I will not use Godot because I don't want to learn some retard's OC donut steal custom scripting language for an engine that I'm not invested in.

Every game should be written in machine code.

>>718717421 (OP)
Unity is the most annoying piece of shit ever. Everything in it is unintuitive and sporadic, there's no organization.

The real meme was your whole entire faggot retard life, making your mother the best shitpost that thougheverbeit was

>>718719532
wtf are you talking about it has the best layout possible compared to anything else. rendering features alone mog whatever the fuck you have to do in any other engine to modify your pipeline, assuming you can even do that within the editor.

>>718719439
I feel the exact same way about the C++ language
it's a meme language for faggots who aren't serious about programming like rust's gay father that raped his ass into becoming a tranny
t. c-nile

>>718719439
ive come to realize it doesnt matter, I used to think this way too. every game scripting lang is out to actually do the same shit though. just try any of them then you wont stay retarded.

>>718717559
because you want to make a game, not an engine.

>>718719439
This is like saying you can't learn canadian english.
It's all the same, all transferable, and if you can't manage that you're retarded and don't belong and you certainly don't deserve any measure of success or happiness.
Now stay a nocode forever chasing after the perfect lang, the perfect tutorial, the perfect whatever until you're old and sick and dead.

>>718717421 (OP)
oh OH OHH it can use C#! No one told me that yesterday.
>>718719439
Java and C# are for brain deads pseudo jeets like us. You don't need to use the tranny language.

Study linux users

>>718717872
graphics look like they need some work, gameplay looks solid

>>718720613
yeah indeed, it's still early in development and the current scenario is just for testing, barely has any detail. Glad you dig the gameplay!

Godot is fine. I don't use it due to specific limitations it has with the rendering stack, but overall it's completely adequate as an engine for beginners.

project is run by faggots, and even if it wasn't, they stopped supporting my OS

>>718720816
Don't listen to him, the graphics are fine

>>718722006
I thought he was joking with the fog. No way I'm adding that lol.

>>718722006
Agreed, but maybe some better lighting. The torches in that screenshot reminds me of when I would make maps for Garry's mod and make the lights way too small and too close to the wall.

UE gets a lot of flak from people who parrot bullshit they heard from some r*dditor
>>718718257
>15fps
UE is far more performant compared to unity due to its code base.
>>718717808
>heavy as fuck
not sure what you mean by "heavy". it has a huge feature set, but you don't need to use everything in your project. you can still create bare bones 2D games, the engine isn't exclusive to high fidelity 3D games.
>>718718753
>unweildy in AAA too
that is not the fault of the engine. it's due to nvidia driver issues and dev incompetence.

That AIslop russian roulette game about lying
3D Scrimblos like yellow taxi, that mario 64 one with the frog, and the furry black rabbit that catches fish
Simulatorslop like supermarket simulator and tcg card shop sim
Gachaslop like umamusume, zenless zone zero, genshin

Too lazy to list more

>>718722836
>not sure what you mean by "heavy"
it means it needs stronger hardware to run even simpler games compared to other "lighter" engines

>>718722671
>and make the lights way too small and too close to the wall
thanks anon, I'll make sure to take that into account when building my levels.

>>718719439
just use C# then, I have been using godot for a while now and rarely touch GDscript

>>718724157
for godot C# you also need an IDE but at least you can use something light like sublime text or kate and just add the C# omnisharp plugin and it just works

>>718724334
Why would you not use GDScript? I think it's silly to fight against the native language. Like you said, you need an external editor or plugins, and the C# side of Godot might not be up to date. Switching to a new syntax is not hard at all, it's mostly about getting to know your functions which is unique to every code base. And if you care so much about optimization, then you shouldn't be using Godot (or even C#) in the first place.

>>718725424
>and the C# side of Godot might not be up to date
it is, and if you know advanced C# you can do things GDscript just can't (it doesn't even have structs), not to mention it has better performance

>>718717559
This is the way.
Plus, if your game is actually good and sells, you won’t owe the shitters at Unity or Epic any money.

>>718718550
>I feel the damage is already done and everyone jumped ship
No people just delude themselves into thinking that because they don't want to admit they fell for the "unity is dead" meme. Unity games still get made and it's been long enough that the "long dev lifecycles" argument no longer holds water.

>>718717421 (OP)
unity = jew trap
ue = chink trap
godot = tranny trap
pick youre poison

>>718718753
ah sadly i don't know what i want

both are shit in their own ways
godot is open source at least

>>718725424
You're right, it's silly to fight against the native language and you're inevitably going to be treated like a second class citizen when it comes to any support issues.

...which is why plenty of people will stick with the engine where c# is the intended language because they would rather use that.

>>718725424
>C# side of Godot might not be up to date
Godot supports more modern versions of C# than Unity does.

>>718727713
Why not go with Cryengine?

>>718727713
rpg maker

>>718730107
No sales from people that value themselves. Games will be only worth $3.5 because you know how it will play and how shit the "game" part will be and how trash the writing is.

I use Godot because I ain't doing anything fancy, and because my project loads up a cold boot in under 3 seconds.

Meanwhile in Unity or UE5, I'm sitting there for 30 seconds minimum.
