Godot Engine Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Tetris Development 1 - Setting Up

  Instead, I was recommended Godot by a fellow developer. It is an easy-to-pickup and beginner-friendly open-source engine, which I will use to develop the Tetris game. - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  Godot [1] is a very nice game engine. There's a game on Itch.io that teaches the scripting language it uses [2], and a ton of great tutorials on YouTube for beginners and experts alike. [1]: https://godotengine.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• My thought on different engines

  Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine. The story started as an in-house engine of an Argentinian studio in 2007, and since 2014, it's been a community-driven project with a lot of contributors. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• I want to learn some low level typed language, should I learn Go or Rust?

  Fair enough! I’d personally recommend Godot, because it’s FOSS, has a really nice way of doing things (in my opinion), and a language that’s similar enough to Go that when I was first learning Go I’d frequently use terms from GDScript! It’s the kind of think you can learn in a few hours. Give it a shot if you’re just getting into dev! Source: 5 months ago

• Can we make games using react native? Im new to this and I just made some to do, and video player apps. So I'm just curious so I can make iOS and playstore apps.

  I believe most game developers would rather focus on making the game though, instead of figuring out how to make things work in React Native. In those cases, the best option is to just stick with game engines like Godot. Source: 5 months ago

• I'm following this tutorial and they add something called a Spatial. But when I look it up in the Create New Node menu, it only gives me the Node option. Am I missing something here? I'm using the latest version of Godot.

  4.1 is newer than the version in the tutorial. They are using 3.x. Many things changed, but you COULD be fine following the tutorial and googling. If you don't want to invest into googling changes, you can download the LTS Version 3.5.3 on godotengine.org to follow the tutorial. Source: 5 months ago

• Starting my journey to create my first videogame

  If there's is one thing that I took to heart from pirates video, it is to just start NOW, LIKE NOW. If you want to create videogames then do it, nothing is stopping you. And hes right, there are tools out there that are free, for example Godot, that you can start creating your game right now. Want a photoshop alternative that's free use Gimp. Want a 3D modeling software for free? Use Blender. Want to create music... Source: 5 months ago

• Traphouse Druglord, Our Game's Journey, Challenges, and Ending

  Unity, the platform that powered our game, recently implemented policy changes and they seem to have an ethical stance that doesn't sit well with us. We will not use Unity in the future unless we need to update the most recent version, which, mostly is untested. As of now. We're uncertain about whether we'll explore alternative engines such as Godot or Unreal. The absence of recent development activities coupled... Source: 7 months ago

• An open letter to our community [Unity]

  If you as a gamer or developer are unhappy with this outcome or are unhappy that this happened at all. Have a reminder that Godot (an open source MIT License) game engine could use your support, Godot offers a way to address this long term instead of relying on a contract with an untrustworthy company: Use: Homepage with download links for Latest and LTS versions for Android, Linux, macOS, Windows, and Web (you... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
