Should YOU use Godot 4?

[@froguish]

as someone new to Godot in general, I'm excited to try out the new engine!!

[@mrelipteach]

I'm sure you'll enjoy!

[@flamelizard]

Oh my god :O Thank you so much for the shoutout! Great video showcase of the new features!

[@mrelipteach]

Thank YOU for your work!

[@Aarimous]

Thanks for the overview, feels like a pretty big step forward even with some of the things you notes as missing. Cheers!

[@mrelipteach]

I think it's worth it just for the quality of life features alone!

[@issangolocoulibaly8325]

Really really excited to do games with godot 4

With Godot 4 being released: LET THE GAMESSSSS....BEGINNNN!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁✨️✨️

[@1758]

it's not that good chill

[@Bollalillo]

The title should be: Why you absolutely should care :D

[@adsick_ua]

I like how you mention problems not blindly hyping on the new major version number.

[@generrosity]

💚💚 looking forward to your plans for tutorials

[@AlfredBaudischCreations]

Cool inclusion of the section Problems and Limitations. Do you have the talk and/or article with the issues that developer mentioned?

[@mrelipteach]

It was a private conversation so I don't have a clean record. If you want more details I can give you its contact tho

[@AlfredBaudischCreations]

@@mrelipteach no worries, I'd check it if it was already easily available - I kind of know the issues because I'm also running into different 3D problems with Godot 4.

[@tomoyaokazaki2138]

I am an amateur, but I would like to become an Indie Dev as a Video Game Developer. I have been creating visual novels for 5 years now. I have many fun video game ideas and would like to use Godot 4 to make them all become a reality. 😊

[@tissueinu]

Thanks for the vid. Can't wait to know more about the juice course! Out of all the Godot games out there DashPong certainly is one of the juiciest

[@mrelipteach]

Thanks a lot for your kind words 😊

[@longuemire748]

Thank you for this video.

[@torrescle]

I think that will be like when they released the 3.0 version… only with the 3.1 version the things got working well.

[@igorthelight]

Agree!

[@indieology7336]

Great video! Godot 4 is awesome!

[@mrelipteach]

Thanks :D It really is!

[@Catition-ow1qi]

OMG the wait for Godot i just got it lol.

[@cloudwolf3972]

Still waiting for bone sprites in 3D scenes...

[@FeniksGaming]

Very nice and balanced video

[@mrelipteach]

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it 😊

[@ZeoWorks]

The biggest worry I have is that godot will never have game console development

[@mrelipteach]

Juan tweeted about this multiple time and W4 games (his company) announced they were working on it. They want to bring an easy to use solution, especially for indies and it should be out this year. Even without that, porting companies have ported Godot games to xbox playstation and switch for years

[@ZeoWorks]

@@mrelipteach Thanks, like Unity I'd rather have full control of a project rather than having over assets to a porting company. :)

[@MrXrayez]

@@ZeoWorks If you consider console development, then I presume that you have enough coding skills at this stage to have this kind of consideration in the first place. If you have the skills, then you can use Unity. So why not use Unity?

[@ZeoWorks]

@@MrXrayez Hi, I use Unity friend. A lot of Unity developers are concerned with the direction the Unity team is taking the engine so lots of us are hoping to find an alternative engine to study and work with. :)

[@MrXrayez]

​@@ZeoWorks I understand your concerns, but I switched from Godot to Unity after years using Godot, so all I'm saying is that don't fall for the hype, always consider "pros" and "cons". Unfortunately, most "cons" about Godot may not seem obvious until you invest into the engine, but by the time you invest in Godot, it's kind of too late, as you may feel attached to Godot on the personal level. This definitely happened to me, so I'm not going back to using Godot, not to mention the technical limitations of Godot, of course.

[@nicolausteslaus]

Your welcome!

[@forhadrh]

Go Godot Go! 💝

[@izaj1307]

I tried using godot 4 but I can’t port my game over 😢

[@mrelipteach]

Why?

[@igorthelight]

@@mrelipteach That's a lot of small code fixes. Godot 3-4 converter is half-assed xD

[@izaj1307]

ok so when I try to open certain assets the whole engine just crashes

[@mrelipteach]

@@izaj1307 If you know what is causing the crash you can try to remove it and retry. Also it might be interesting to open an issue on github

[@vorrdegard2176]

I am having some long import times Godot 4

[@leegaul2161]

I'm currently in a learning phase for Godot, and have been cycling through tutorials and lessons available to learn the interface and features on the engine. Since I'm prioritizing 2D right now, would a move to Godot 4,0 be alright? Currently have been fussing about with 3,5,1.

[@mrelipteach]

If you're here to learn, I think going with 4.0 makes total sense because it's the latest stable and the future of Godot. Some things are still missing but it'll get sorted out with 4.1 and later

[@gomolemomolefhi8929]

Im working to make a mobile 3d game since unity is dogshitting its devs now...my concern is that I invested time making vfx to function in unity so i dont know if i start from scratch in G odot will it be smooth too. Im just trying to make some cash with a small mobile game thats all

[@byteknytestudios5690]

I hope they introduce a superior visual scripting system, i would love to see something that is "Autist friendly" like Game maker studio, very visual and obvious with simple labels.

[@mrelipteach]

I don't know the state of the visual scripting, I think it's been pute aside for a while because it was a huge undertaking. WIth GDExtension we might see solid solutions made by the community

[@aslkdjfzxcv9779]

godot is on the right path

[@noirlavender6409]

Can I replicate genshin impact shaders on godot now? because i can't find any decent tutorials on the matter :(

[@mrelipteach]

There's no reson you can't do it but yeah you might be lacking Godot specific tutorials though. Maybe you can find resources made for Unity or Unreal and try to apply them to Godot.

[@HalkerVeil]

Don't turn into Unity with multiple render pipelines and broken features to each. There's a reason we are looking elsewhere.

[@mrelipteach]

It's not the goal don't worry. Godot aims to be usable for everyone.

[@MrXrayez]

Well, ironically, Godot lacks direction. On one day, they will say that they are not here to sell you a professional product. On the next day, they attempt to replicate features of Unity, in an oversimplified manner which are difficult to use in Godot because of its intrinsic architecture. If Godot developers are going to attempt to replicate Unity, Godot developers are going to shoot themselves in the foot, and frankly, this is already happening with Godot 4.0. Just wait a couple of months to get more insight concerning Godot's 4.0 true capabilities vs claimed capabilities, although you don't have to literally wait to see where this is going.

[@gergelypaless5042]

I don't get why we are still using and updating the Godot script language. Why dont just use C#, Go, or Rust? I think Unity did the right thing when they deprecated javascript.

[@mrelipteach]

Because GDScript is awesome and tailored made for Godot. Use C# if you prefer, no one if forcing you to use GDScript!

[@dogeatdog6157]

Cool story

[@MrXrayez]

Because Godot is not Unity, and will never become on par with Unity. These are completely different game engines, with different development approaches and architecture. If you still believe that Godot has a potential to become equivalent to Unity, then I'm sorry to say this, but you're being brainwashed by Godot overzealous fans. Check what other people outside of Godot community say about Godot if you want to see an objective picture about Godot as a game engine.

[@Bankoru]

I love open source engines, but unfortunately this is still less than what Unity provides.

[@_perovskia]

Unity was a mess for me. It feels like a massive contraption just desperately being held together. Heck, I couldn’t even program buttons 🤧
