[@MastermindAtWork]

Sonic Colors Ultimate was both the best and worst showcase for corporate use of Godot. It's technically impressive but there were too many bugs and glitches that were never there in the original Wii version.

[@zerron2156]

I completely forgot about that lmao

[@minirop]

But it uses Godot only for rendering IIRC (similar to GTA and UE), I think they even left some Wii tools in the first release.

[@TheUltimateSigma2000]

What about Buckshot Roullete that game was also made in Godot and had over 1 million sales

[@Drejzer]

I personally am very happy to see this list, mostly as it shows there are commercial games made with Godot. Though I'd add in Bloodthief to the list, looks very interesting (at least to me) On the same note, I'm at best ambivalent on the lists for Unreal and Unity...

[@Aeduo]

Hopefully for unreal and unity they at least use different criteria so it's not just a bunch of AAA games, but actually spotlights some smaller developers doing neat stuff. Or doing a different engine that doesn't have so many big name games liek game maker.

[@brahillms1374]

bloodthief mentioned!

[@Leon_Portier]

Planetenverteidigunskanonenkommandant looks great

[@StupidusMaximusTheFirst]

I'm making a Godot alternate history game, where Hitler starts a campaign to free places who also use long words like this one. The first episode is gonna be called hitlerdontwannabotherwiththejewsandwannafreethewelshwhoalsouselongwords. In the game, the rest of the world will burn their dictionaries and use as short words as possible to avoid the zermans, then Hilter will think short is cool and will cut his mustache short so the rest like him. There will be different endings where the allies win and the world uses sign language, or the zermans win and we get the Planetenverteidigunskanonenkommandant game. What do you think?

[@UliTroyo]

I would *MUCH* prefer the video "made with underdog game engines and frameworks". Everything is made with Unreal and Unity. I am more interested in what's made with Defold, Bevy, Game Maker, Cocos, Phaser, Raylib, SDL, Löve, etc.

[@MateoC-f4n]

While i agree, I can't help but think I've been wasting my time learning low level libraries / frameworks. I've learned a ton, but you learn your limits soon enough at the moment you want to do things like scene management, resource management, animations, transitions, dialogue, gui, etc. It's just too hard to make everything yourself from scratch; even with existing libraries and tools out there it's not enough to ship good stuff. I wonder how animal well was made with all these challenges.

[@toolazytobeoriginal4587]

​@@MateoC-f4nI mean if you learned something can you really consider it wasting your time? Plus, the experience would probably help you if you ever decided to modify a game engine for some purpose.

[@MateoC-f4n]

@@toolazytobeoriginal4587 Yes, I consider it a waste of time because I got nothing tangible out of it. Knowledge is okay, but I aim to make games not engines yk.

[@etherealregions]

This is a nice addition to the GFS playlist. I hope to see more showcase videos periodically. Considering the typical audience. I think a "subscribers showcase", might even be an interesting addition. Nice video 👍

[@WagnerGFX]

CodeMonkey already makes a montly video for games and tools for Unity. You already showcase free assets for UE every month, so some videos for UE games and Godot games/tool would be nice. If there are not many games to showcase monthly for each engine, why not make a single video for new games and their respective engines? The video would help give visibility to how some smaller engines are being used, like RPG Maker, GameMaker, GDevelop, etc.

[@samamies88]

Stayathomedev has weekly godot games list series "to inspirire you" (aka i think it is aimed bit more towards devs and little less towards players.... cuz players might not cate which engine game was made as long as the game runs well and/or is beutiful and/or has responsive controls)

In the cozy space, I've been enjoying Gourdlets quite a bit and was pleasantly surprised to see it was made in Godot.

[@mattrobb3566]

Yes please. Best of Each Engine would be great. I agree that 'Best' is highly subjective! Somehow I dont think most would think that they would all be included in a list of the BEST of GODOT!

[@BurnLikeAFlame]

I truly miss the days when games weren't primarily a bunch of noise on the screen where you can barely tell what's going on. "Noise" seems to be the overdone thing these days. Just because you CAN add all kinds of extreme effects doesn't mean you SHOULD. That may be why most of my gaming is emulation of older games where you can actually see the game instead of a bunch of extreme noise. The overwhelming majority of what's on this video I'd never consider playable. Headache-inducing, but not playable.

[@evqa06]

you better not be talking about cruelty squad that game is peak

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

i can relate. there are some forms of ugly so extreme that they’ll prevent my playthrough. i won’t name names because it encourages fans to enter Berserk Mode

[@franciscofarias6385]

Wow, it's crazy to hear Cruelty Squad didn't "try to be a good game in any meaning". It's an actually good immersive sim, and a great piece of art that talks about many things, including corporatism and ethics. It tries to be unpleasant visually, sonically and thematically, but this is part of why it's good.

Thanks, man. Yeah, we love to see the best games of Unity, Unreal, Defold, Monogame, Libgdx, and GDevelop. These video types help to increase the popularity of unknown engines.

[@trevorpirie9623]

Had no idea sonic colours was developed in Godot. Would like to see three lists for the other platforms.

[@GAHAHAHH]

That's because it wasn't developed in so much as ported to. From my understanding it just uses it for some front end stuff (mostly graphics), it's essentially being used as a glorified emulator. Of course I could be wrong but that's what heard some other people say and from a glance it seems to have issues more in line with emulation than Godot.

[@charles_kuperus]

Yes please on `The Best Of` for Unity and Unreal

You missed out on Penitent from devmar. Probably the best 3D visuals running on Godot

[@Kiyuja]

yeah Godots 3D rendering is probably my biggest criticism atm. Godot does a lot of things right but they just HAVE to nail that one. Honestly who cares for mobile phones when all your software is famous for is 1990s era 2D games. They need 3D capability for many bigger studios to even consider it over Unity, THATS what gonna put them on the map and I wish them the best of luck for it!

do best of Gdevelop

[@artmanstudios7037]

I hope the developers are donating right back to godot I mean that's what you would have to do to keep the game engine updated And alive for years to come after all this is the tool that feeds you now I say about a good 5 or 10% of your earnings to go right back into the godot game engine. If we can do this then everybody wins you know, You'll have developers who are just starting out and you got to give these people some time to stabilize themselves and getting that first sale and when they do that they can donate right back at least five or 10%, it don't have to be a whole lot but enough to keep the game engine from getting rusty you know you got to give it that oil so that it can keep running smoothly the fact that it gives you the freedom to do what you want come on man there's no better price out there than that it's free for everybody but when you start using it and making money off it you bring some back and it'll keep it going And keep it alive!

Sonic Colors Ultimate is a horrible port of a decent-to-mediocre game that had a lot of praise by the general audience when it released way back in 2010 on the Wii. It absolutely shouldn't even be there in a "Best of Godot Games" because it did the original Sonic Colors so dirty.

[@doradoro_com]

The problem with Sonic Colors was called Godot Engine. They had to rewrite the entire engine, and even then, they couldn't make something professional because it's an engine made and managed by amateurs. That's why after five years of using it and patching all its shortcomings, I've stopped using it... You have to be an engineer to use it, yet it's made for amateurs, so none of the built-in features are really useful. The 3D has been broken for years, and I don't think they're capable of delivering more than they already have, so I didn't see any point in continuing to wait for Godot. The opposite happens with amateurs who use Unreal, thinking it's a tool for beginners because it comes with a lot of built-in features, but then all their games end up performing poorly... I don't trust that things will go well for them either, nor for CD Projekt either...
