I love it! I bought the course several months ago, but since we just had a baby I haven't had any time with 3.5 or 4.0--so I think I'll start getting set up to start with the beta! Love your work, attitude, and style, Bram!

[@trunghung03]

Nice! I have been waiting for this day!!

[@davideaton8639]

I thought I was getting by OK with 3.5, but I waited too long to move to 4. So now I'm struggling a bit remembering all the things I did in 3.5 and finding the differences (that's an age thing I think and I have to do work and play games). Although I did find a typo in the docs :) Anyway, I've just purchased your course. Thanks for the discount, I felt a bit bad about buying it for that price as I was intending to buy it, so I added a bit more on. I really like GDScript, it suits my style of coding. I tried a few game engines, and Godot is my favourite, although I did like Defold. Thanks for the content.

[@eg6490]

I do love how Godot is progressing. I do think the choice to drop visual scripting kinda stinks though. It was always kinda a bare bone implementation of the system, it very much needed a rework. All I can hope is that they try to officially implement it again at some point, and either work towards a node workflow, spreadsheet workflow, or even a mix of the two. If not, I’m sure someone in the community would make it. But official tends to be the way to go

[@eg6490]

@owdoo yes, exactly, that’s what I meant when I said it was a bare bone implementation. Not much was done outside of that, so it makes sense why it wasn’t really used

[@evannibbe9375]

Visual scripting is the basis of Unreal Engine, so it’s not like it will be easy to compete with them.

[@terryriley6410]

How does the choice "stinks"? It was the right decision as very few people used it and visual scripting is a lame unsustainable idea in general. A major waste of time for both users and devs, much better to improve gdscript and the built-in editor to be more accesible to beginners. That being said I'm sure some dev will waste their time improving visual scripting as an extension. You talk about "official" and "community" implementation as if these weren't the same. Godot is being made by the community.

COMPUTE SHADER LETS GOOO

[@obadiahluna4215]

Would it be wise to switch over to Godot 4 now? I'm going to be starting a new game project soon. (I've got some of the basics down, model imports, texures, etc). Will Godot 4 Beta transfer into the full release without issues? (The new GDScript stuff has me worried because things may not translate correctly if I start a game in the current stable build). I just don't want to make a game and have things fall apart when Godot 4 releases. I'd like to know your thoughts. I will definitely be planning on using your course for learning everything Godot 4 has to offer! :)

[@bartudevtutorials]

Wait compute shader can't render but do it can combine verticies I mean make geometry?

[@terryriley6410]

Compute shaders can compute stuff. Think of it like a fragment shader where the color of pixels can be used as 3D positions for many objects. They come handy when you want to calculate something a large number of times (given you calculation can be made paralell). The most common usecase being particles or flocks flying about.

[@bartudevtutorials]

@@terryriley6410 So does it means that If I could make implementation of marching cubes or anything like that on GPU I need to calculate all position of the verticies and combine them into triangles on CPU? I mean I never even try to implent that algorythm on CPU so also then never on GPU. But at least I want to try it because it just fascinates me. I'm just asking so my brain will not blow up because of some stupid mistake or lack of information..

[@eyeemotion1426]

If you made something in Blender with instances, is Godot now able to import the whole scene and its objects, with their instances? I had this trouble in Godot 3, where I had made a cliff of several rock meshes I made. Both apart from the original rocks, the rest of them were instances of these rock. But when I exported to gltf and then imported it in Godot, it only recognized the original rocks, the instances were gone. I had to convert all the instanced rocks into their own objects, which defeated the purpose of easy adjustments afterwards. And also, these rock objects weren't able to be used and duplicated elsewhere, since they belonged to that particular scene. I like to create most things in Blender, since I'm more used to that and design-wise, obviously have more tools available to you. But if you can't import them into Godot without losing editability, it's all useless. It's one of the main things that pushes me away from Godot. Other things was the physics. Although I got my car running, there were a lot of things that were head-scratching. For example, when I had to start my car uphill, it wasn't even able to drive, and it wasn't even a steep hill. Not impressive for a race-car. I had to write some strange code to be able to make sure it was able to drive uphill at lower speeds. Drifting wasn't great either. Seemed like I only was able to have complete grip or have a car that slipped and slide as if I was on ice. One other dealbreaker was some random spikes I got. For no reason, if I would drive on a certain part of my road, the car was shot upwards! I checked my collision shapes, and nothing was wrong. I still don't know how to address that. It even happened with checking the trimesh smooth option. I like Godot and would love to continue creating my game into it. But I'm more of a designer than a coder and Godot doesn't seem to be there yet, for people like me. I don't want to be stuck everyday on even the smalles things. I hope Godot 4 adresses these problems. Currently I've jumped ship to Unreal Engine, as the car physics are great right out of the box and I'm able to adjust it much easier to how I want my cars to drive. So from a long story, does Godot 4 address my problems? Or is it better for me to wait?

[@hawshimagical]

godot specializes in 2d, because it started as 2d. if your aim is 3d, dont rely on godot until its capabilities are where you need them to be. only you can decide when that time has come, with trial and error, because for some peoples 3d projects, godot 3 was perfectly fine, but yes, godot's 3d hasnt reached the level of unity and unreal. its 2d has already stomped game maker studio out of relevance though

[@psygopel1102]

@@hawshimagical Godot started as a 3D engine, not as a 2d engine. Go read the docs.

[@eyeemotion1426]

@@hawshimagical Indeed, after initial setup of the car and get it driving, by a good tutorial from Bastiaans Oleij, I began to quickly notice I seemed to be almost at the end of the capabilities. Given, I don't know a lot about physics, but I shouldn't either. That's what a game engine is supposed to be for. So if those basics were already hard to achieve (and adjust), how would the rest of gameplay elements go. Because I need to measure things like drifting and drafting, the amount of impact, ... . In Unreal, I did the same initial setup, which funnily enough at first didn't go well and didn't work. But once I figured out why it didn't work, the rest was easy and without too much knowledge of the engine, I was able to easily adjust things so the car drove like I wanted to. I have this strange relationship with Godot, as it helped me made that initial click and grasp about game-development, but yet to realize it's also holding me back, or just puts me at a crawl in growth. Godot seems as it isn't yet at a level for an open-source as Blender is to 3D-modelling. I'll just have to wait for Godot to get where Blender went, once they overhauled their UI and everything simply 'clicked' and it became something that worked for you, not against you. So I'll going to (re)start my game in Unreal Engine, as it has terrain-building where someone like me (graphics designer) can easily use their existing skillsets to easily lift off with game-design and development. A bit of a shame, because I wanted to be that Godot racing project that worked (most I came across, where generally slow and simple driving games. Where I was already glad being able to pull of some impression of speed and more (non-minimalistic) design to it.

Did you use the godot card game framework for the card game at the end, or did you code this yourself?

[@marcapouli7805]

Does Godot have a node based programming system like Unreal Engine?

[@davidwalker1652]

That's mentioned briefly in the video: Version 3 had node-based VisualScripting, but it has been removed for version 4. You can add it back as an extension, but it requires a custom build of Godot (which is actually fairly easy to do, but it remains to be seen how long this will be maintained). There is still visual node UI available, but now it's only used for material/shader editing. VisualScripting was fairly low level, so didn't really provide any advantage over gdscript, and was not very popular. (It was only used by 0.5% of developers, and you pretty much need as much gdscript knowledge to use the visual scripting, so you may as well just write gdscript.) It didn't have a clear goal or advantage, so was dropped as it was seen as wasted developer effort that could be better spent elsewhere.

[@terryriley6410]

@@skyblaze6687 What you says is not really true. I can bundle a database of 4k cat videos with my engine and it doesn't mean it will be much more capable or useful for your development needs even though it will be huge in file size. You can also write a library without ever reusing functionality, duplicating code all over. It will be bigger but will offer the same functionality as a library that makes (re)use of common functions. These are just two extreme examples of "size != functionality" In general, code tends to be fairly small though. Of course we can't really tell what takes up most space in the Unity binary so comparing based on size is kinda futile. As a sidenote, unfortunately the actual size of Godot goes up as you add export templates for different platforms (which is what makes Unity installs insanely big too). The sub 100MB size you talk about is only possible if you just want to build for the platform you work on.

Why did the author of the game engine named it as white Jewish actress?

[@terryriley6410]

It was named after a theater play written by Samuel Beckett. He was Irish, a descendant of a french protestant family, raised as christian (Anglican) then turned agnostic. In the play it was never truly revealed who Godot was and they never actually appear in person only in the discussions between the main characters. Various interpretations exists and you can create your own as "Godot is a white Jewish actress" if you like.
