Anyone tried the Godot game/graphics library engine?

Old dc server admin and real life friend Gothic was telling me about the open source cross-platform Godot programming game/graphics library/engine: https://godotengine.org

Anyone tried it yet? It looks pretty neat.



Looks like it good 2d support as well as 3d.

Just downloaded... thanks!

I've downloaded it a few times but never really delved into it.

FYI it's also available on Steam if you would like the conveniences that come with Steam (auto updates, etc.).

A little over a year later and I'm still in the same boat I was the last time I said anything about it. I've downloaded it a few times and watched a few videos about the latest updates and features in the engine, but so far I haven't really attempted to do anything with it.

I also wanted to mention that it's also on Itch.io now if you'd prefer to use that over Steam.

Same here.  Same with Unity.  Just too much stuff, and too little time.

Figures I would forget about this thread after I actually started experimenting with Godot toward the end of last year.

Even though I still know much more about making games in Unity than I do with Godot, I much prefer working with Godot these days. I find it much faster (less bloated) and generally more enjoyable to work with. That said, I'm still pretty new to it, so maybe there are things that I haven't come across yet that I will loathe.

Thanks for this. The target demographic is absolute beginners with no previous programming or Godot experience, so it will probably be a little basic for me, but it might serve as a nice introduction to various aspects of the engine I haven't touched yet.

I'm wondering if I should scrap my unity classes and just go for Godot. I haven't decided yet.
