Thanks for showcasing our work and for your valuable feedback!! Indeed we're in early stages but aiming to keep iterating. Great point about the block deletion. The latest version adds zooming support. We're also experimenting with learner-friendly abstraction, e.g. instantiate a SimpleCharacter scene and you will see that it has ultra simple blocks for movement available within. More to come!

@MrDanINSANE3 ай бұрын
It's truly awesome and the potential is great! The problem is that the devs mentioned it's not going to get too deep (probably won't cover all GDscript) but only for beginners, which means it will be very limited on scope of what you can do. A nice way to learn the basics of logics in general but unless they'll decide to make it cover all GDscript it may probably not be very usable for a complicated game production. I hope they will decide to continue maintain and evolve it to cover more of GDscript. The most amazing Visual Script piece will be EVENT SHEET like Construct, GDevelop, ClickTeam, etc.. that will make EVERY beginner to jump to Godot instead of the other PREMIUM game engines since Godot is much more powerful and fully free unlike the others.

That will be a HUGE enhancement to the Godot editor and make for a much faster and less frustrating UI creation experience... ✨🔮

Options for days Actually, I think Godot used to have visual programming in earlier versions, now that I think about it.

Same here, coding is doable but i get MAD really fast having to write everything and needing to know the functionalities beforehand to be able to do so, while if it was visual you can literally see everything there is to it and plan ahead and simply do stuff with no wiki nor months of specific technical knowledge of specific languages and its quirks. I dropped out of technical school because of coding... for some unknown reason art, design and 3D was mixed with programming classes and i could not bare the coding part, but on the other hand i get away with visual scripting, it's not that far from visual shader implementation, something i am used to tweak with.
