• Ask HN: Platform for 11 year old to create video games?

  Humble Bundle has a Godot bundle is available for the next day or so. That might be a good one to look at if you're ok with leaning into code a bit (gdscript is very very similar to python). https://www.humblebundle.com/software/learn-godot-43-complete-course-bundle-software Also check out the RPG Maker bundle. That's pretty point-and-click. You can have something basic up and running in a couple minutes... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Exploring Raylib and Open Source

  I selected this library as I normally use much higher-level tools to develop games such as p5.js, or GDevelop. Both these tools are amazing in their own right; however, I want to learn how these processes operate on a much lower level. These tools take care of a lot of issues for you ranging from asset to memory management. Raylib is still cross-platform but does not handle these tasks for the programmer which I... - Source: dev.to / 29 days ago

• Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming

  It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community. Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects And https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-alternative-game-engines-a-curation- If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?

  I'm not really a game maker, but would like to give a shout out to the fabulous https://gdevelop.io/ It has everything you need, is free and its VISUAL PROGRAMMING is fab... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Godot or GameMaker studio 2

  Another engine that you can consider is GDevelop https://gdevelop.io. Source: over 1 year ago

• I'm a Solo Dev with "all the wrong hats"

  If you’re down for a 2D project checkout GDevelop. It’s designed with a visual workflow in mind and programs with predefined actions and triggers, so if you’re comfortable laying out 2D assets if very easy to make them interactive, without knowing any code. Source: over 1 year ago

• Easy game making and coding for tech learners

  GDevelop is a free, no-code game engine that uses drag-and-drop functionality and menus to build games. It supports Javascript to impliment more complex code. To find out more go to –  How to get started making a video game: GDevelop 5 (part one). Source: over 1 year ago

• Is it possible to develop video games on an Acer Chromebook 11?

  You can use lightweight engines that run in your browser, like GDevelop or Godot. Both of these also have downloadable versions and Android apps. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can i create a simple 2D game in a month?

  I'd also maybe recommend GDevelop as an alterative. Which uses Block-based "behavior" programming instead of text coding. It also has a bank of ready to go assets (mostly from https://www.kenney.nl/ ). You'll probably be up and running faster with your limited backgrounds. If actual text coding is required GDevelop uses JavaScript as the backend for making custom behaviors . Source: over 1 year ago

• Reference Website for Godot?

  It really depends, normally I get a sense about new people who stumble on to Godot as a "Free" game engine, and want to start making games right away with 0 experience in anything. I tend to point them towards GDevelop. Source: over 1 year ago

• I'm new to godot! Any video recommendations for me to get started?

  You may also have an easier/faster startup time in GDevelop , which uses Block-style scripting and has a library of ready assets. Which are mostly all Kenney Games CC0 assets, and useful if you stick with Godot. Source: over 1 year ago

• There's nothing in the docs about this.

  If you're mainly interested in getting quickly into Game Development without even lite coding, I've been pointing folks to GDevelop as a FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) option. Which uses a Block-based scripting style. Source: over 1 year ago

• Totally lack of begginer-friendly content about Godot 4

  In the immediate term for just pure 2D Video Game Development in the FOSS (free and open source software) world, I'd suggest GDevelop , which uses Code Blocks (build on JavaScript and C++ on the backend). Kenny is a nice collection of assets for both 2D and 3D for any development engine. Source: over 1 year ago

• Construct 3 to Godot

  I tried out construct 3 in 2019 then I discovered its free alternative Gdevelop. Source: over 1 year ago

  And GDevelop for 2D if you want to minimize code usage and use a level editor. Source: over 1 year ago

• menlo security ?

  Not sure what you refer to by "menlo security" as this term is used nowhere in the app. GDevelop is using a cookie when you open a cloud project, but it's not a 3rd party cookie - it comes from gdevelop.io and is a secure cookie that stays on gdevelop.io. Source: over 1 year ago

• What's the best free software to start off with

  I would recommend GDevelop, an open source game maker that can publish to desktop, mobile, and browser games. It comes with a built in tutorial, and has an option between code blocks and JavaScript for your game logic. The two can seamlessly integrate as well, so you can tell your scene to make your mario whomp like square collide with the player, and then perhaps write JavaScript code to guide the square's AI.
