Let's Try: Godot Engine - Is it good?

[@JonasTyroller]

I tried the engine for the very first time here which is why I got a couple of facts wrong... 1) Godot is pronounced Godoh. 2) Godot DOES compile games once you export them. 3) Referencing objects is not as hard as I thought it was. Surprise. 4) Unity has grid snapping (though it is not very good) Sorry for that. I hope you can excuse my mistakes. Cheers. :)

[@TheMikirog]

This became my favourite engine after Unity and Unreal disappointed me. I never went back.

[@JonasTyroller]

How did they disappoint you if I may ask?

[@TheMikirog]

@@JonasTyroller There are a lot of reasons, but I'll try breaking it down as much as possible. Some of these could be outdated, but I'll list them here: - Unity updates incredibly often and incredibly fast, meaning if you have a complicated project going, that one small update could put it on hiatus. Same with engine fixes. You gotta wait for the fixes to be released before carrying on. In Godot, you don't encounter engine breaking bugs too often and if they appear, they're fixed incredibly quickly. Godot is the most active project on GitHub right now and that's pretty impressive. - Both Unreal and Unity are incredibly big and bloated. Kinda unrelated, but my HDD is choking hard, so anything that'll save on space and load times is great in my book. - I had a bug with Unity that literally every single editor window was white. Looking up in the forums revealed noone actually had that issue and I was literally left without an engine to use. - It could be because of my preference to Python, but I really had much more fun messing around with GDScript than anything else, since Python was designed to be as readable as possible. I don't have to put semi-colons everywhere? Sign me up! - Terrible Linux support. Just. Don't even bother. - Unreal has an incredibly high learning curve. It's obvious this one was mostly made for medium to large teams making games, not really for anything indie. I picked up tutorials for it and it just didn't click at all. - Debugging in Unreal is a nightmare. Any code error crashes the entire engine. There's a way to debug, but it's unintuitive. - Prototyping in these two engines is really time consuming when compared to Godot. - As you mentioned in the video, no grid snapping. The only thing that kinda takes points away from Godot is the workflow in terms of importing 3D assets into it, but it has been said that the devs plan to fix it in the next major version Godot 4, which puts 3D in the spotlight and will give it the proper refinement it deserves. Godot really feels like the best possible option for any one-man-army developer.

[@Deadener]

​@@TheMikirog 1. At some point in a serious project, even with Godot, you need to version lock. Updating to every new non-maint version during late development is suicidal, no matter what engine you're using. 2. True for Unreal, not as much for Unity. Once you download the exporter(s) for Godot, it's still smaller, but a lot closer to Unity's size. 3. No comment, that's a pretty bizarre bug that I've never heard of. 4. GDscript is kino. The only thing I still prefer about C# is stricter typing, but Godot is addressing that to my understanding. 5. No argument there. 6. Agree. It's basically for multiplayer FPS games with teams of a dozen or more. 7. Agreed. 8. Unreal, yes. Unity is better than Godot for prototyping 3D. Prototyping 2D games in Godot is faster than Unity though. 9. This one is a teensy bit outdated. ProGrids is now a Unity package, and adds this functionality better than Godot. 10. Godot has even worse input management than Unity, which is truly a feat. It's animation tools, particularly animation state machines need some serious work. It also has low-level, poor performing 3D navigation tools, which are getting love in the next couple versions, but currently they are extremely lackluster and don't hold a candle to Unity's out-of-the-box. Much of the documentation for it is blank. 3D navigation is fundamental to any 3D game with even a modicum of complexity. Getting it up and running fast is essential. It was ultimately why I went back to Unity for the time being. I'm still longing to switch to Godot in the future, but it's undercooked for 3D at the moment.

[@invadercivic2774]

To references other nodes in the scene tree and get it's position you could have used get_node("node path").get_position() or as a short hand for get_node() you can use money $ symbol. Or if your having trouble finding it use get_tree().get_root().find_node("node name") If the node your trying to find is an instance remember to make its name unique Var P = player.instance() P.set_name("player") Add_child(P) Then you can find instanced player with get_tree().get_root().find_node("player") This is useful with stuff like respawning player. It's nice to see you trying new things, maybe you could turn it into a series.

[@jared7650]

Nice, always enjoy a new perspective on my 2D engine of choice and the cool thing about it is that since it's open source you are a lot closer to the development of the engine. FYI the way to get a refrance to nodes in the scene is through a tree structure. e.g root node - child node -- child of child node From script on root node var target = $"/child node/child of child node"

[@willnationsdev]

@@Danuxsy You can also use C++, though its current workflow isn't the most user-friendly (code-generation, boilerplate, GUI-powered utilities don't exist yet, but they will by next year probably). The workflow for creating C++ scripts is... 1. Clone the github.com/GodotNativeTools/godot-cpp repository, recursively 2. Build the Godot C++ bindings into a static library 3. Create C++ scripts that reference the C++ header files and the library. 4. Build the C++ scripts into a dynamic library. 5. Create a GDNativeLibrary resource that tells Godot which library to use for each platform (allows you to store multiple C++ libraries in the same project and not have to change the project for each publication platform) 6. Create a NativeScript resource that points to the GDNativeLibrary resource and specifies a class name to use from it. You can then load and attach the NativeScript to any Godot object, just as you would any other script. There is a very good tutorial video on the use of NativeScript 1.1 in Godot 3.1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJmuaKmFnsyVgrM

[@gamedevwithdrew]

Time to try it again!

more of this learning new game engine adventure please.

[@igorthelight]

That would be great!

[@nv7213]

If you use the non-mono version, when you press the play button it goes almost instantly and the download is EVEN smaller

[@enbytiousmusic]

At my startup Divirad we also use the Godot engine! It's great for our usecase and perfect for nobudget studios and projects!

Nice video. No ads )

You can use ProGrids asset in Unity to get the grid snapping

[@Softwarecom]

Cool, thank you for sharing

[@JonasTyroller]

Sure thing. Thank you for watching. :)

[@MichoSchmidt]

I have never tried Godot, but would be fun to try it out. I have been habit to Unity for like 4-5 years ;D but still love Unity.

[@igorthelight]

Try it - it's fun!

[@Diddykonga]

Just a note: All physics access should be done in either _fixed_process or _integrate_forces. As these are called before the simulation. Also physics in Godot uses a fixed-rate, meaning you only update the physics so many times per second. Compared to _process which is called for every drawn frame; as well as being called after the simulation.

[@SunilNmb]

Ahh yes i lost my last brain cell.. Thanks

[@csmemarketing]

Glad you're enjoying Godot Engine.

[@VaSoapman]

Heartbeast != Good tutorials

[@ferrucciobenito1393]

You probably know this already but in unity u can set ur snap settings under edit, give the numbers for your x, y, z & rotation. After that just press ctrl and it snaps :)

[@AntiqueGear]

I tried learning a bit of Unity and got scared off because of the UI. It also took about 3 days to download. (I'm NOT joking) I'll have to give Godot a try!

[@JonasTyroller]

Haha. Jeez. 3 Days??? :D

[@AntiqueGear]

@@JonasTyroller Yeah... it kept on stopping.

[@raynature5901]

What Engine did you use to create your game?

[@AntiqueGear]

@@raynature5901 I'm using a neat little 2D engine called Construct 2. Thanks for asking!

[@HurricaneSA]

@@AntiqueGear Construct 2 is awesome. It's a pity they went the browser and always online route with Construct 3.

[@InvetorXD]

I really want to use Godot but I faced many bugs and so I switched to Defold. But now that you tried it out and had a great time with it, I want to try it again! And will you make games with Godot? It's actually fun (imo).

[@JonasTyroller]

Oh crazy, I've never heard of Defold before. Is it worth checking out? I don't think I'll make any big Godot games for now as I'm already a lot more used to Unity. :)

[@invadercivic2774]

There has been a lot of improvement in Godot 3.1 Right now I'm using it to make a 2D platformer for Android. It's at @doublethinkstudio on Instagram is your interested. :)

[@InvetorXD]

@@JonasTyroller No, I don't feel it's worth checking for you. Unity is great by it's own merits and Defold isn't really the best 2D engine available. It has some drawbacks. The reasons I picked it up are : - The UI is very clean and simple. - It is very polished and there is very few bugs. - It's slightly faster than Godot. - And obviously, it's free. In other words, it works for me. But I can't say you and others will be satisfied with it. Overall, it's different than other engines I've used and so you may check it out, but I don't think it's worth it, specially since you're fine with Unity and GameMaker.

[@InvetorXD]

@@invadercivic2774 Well it looks interesting. Do you have any gameplay footage? And how was your experience making the game for mobile on Godot? Yes, Godot has made great improvements in 3.1, and I'm looking forward to 3.2 (specially the fact that you can disable some features to get a better UI). But most importantly when the bugs are fixed and the engine becomes robust (hopefully in version 4.0 or sooner), I'll use it with dedication.

[@SoldierBol]

Wow that was really cool

[@Lugmillord]

So... should I watch this video in double speed, too? Anyway, I'll stick with Unity. I so used to it by now. Even though that grid snapping sounds good. Which languages do you prefer to work with? I really like C#. More comfortable than C++/C which I have to use at work.

[@JonasTyroller]

Oh yeah, C# is my favorite one as well so far. It makes it very easy to write clean code compared to the other languages I've tried. If you can still understand what I'm saying and you're just here for information and not for entertainment then you should obviously watch at double speed. ;)

[@Lugmillord]

@@JonasTyroller Well, too late. Watched it all vanilla-style. Now I will never get these 4 minutes back I'm wasting on other videos anyway xD

[@NinjarioPicmin]

@@Lugmillord oh wow you here :O ?

[@milmil5350]

You're adorable! 💖😁 Thanks for the review / try-out of Godot. It seems to work best with 2D games. But I've seen some good looking 3D games such as Greyhounds on Godot's April 2019 highlight reel. *My only concern* is that, based on what I read in a comment on another video, Godot only exports to PC and mobile because of business license issues or something. It doesn't export to PS4 or Nintendo Switch, *so I've heard.* If you're okay having your Godot game be PC / mobile exclusive "forever" then it's fine. Otherwise, it's a problem. On the plus side, every household either owns a PC or mobile device. Nowhere near as many owns a console. And most modern computers, even the cheapest ones, can run games. As long as it's not ridiculous in graphics and doesn't require too much RAM to function, the game can still reap a lot of sales.

[@JonasTyroller]

I agree that is a downside but as you've mentioned probably not one that will concern a lot of devs. :) Thanks for watching.

[@InnerEagle]

I'm gonna go back fully on godot after a break for other little projects ;-)

bruh in godot you have a AMAZING thing x) : this *drum roll*... autotiles ! i dont know if there are on unity but i looovvveee this in godot

[@Nihlm]

I think this will be my primary engine. I mean I hate when I take a break and unity gets a big update so it's great that it is super small, on top of that it feels less clustered over unity. I'm definitely not touching 3d soon anyway

[@MichaelKTaylor]

Interesting, don't know if I'll get out of my Unity, Unreal comfort zone though. Either way good video on an engine I've only heard about in passing. Though that built in localization is mighty tempting.

[@JonasTyroller]

Yeah, It won't get me out of my Unity, Game Maker comfort zone either. Was interesting to check it out, though. That built in localization surely looks tempting even though I have no idea how it works yet. :D
