[@ali32bit42]

yes. while some features are neglected by the team, for the price of free its really good for what were getting

[@NameNotAChannel]

My take on this, as a hobbyist game devoloper: The Godot engine is open source, free, and created by group contribution, not a single team. EVEN IF the leadership considers themselves woke, and their community manager THINKS they're woke... the game engine itself, is NOT woke. The game engine cannot force me to add woke elements to my game design. The game engine cannot change my story. The game engine cannot change my character art. The game engine cannot force me to have a character creation system that adds woke elements. The game engine is a TOOL. And at this time, I don't think I even need to use the Godot splash screen, so nobody will know I used the Godot engine to create my games in the first place, even if they added woke elements to their logo... So, claiming to be a woke engine for social credit points is a pure virtue signal that means NOTHING.

[@scarm_rune]

the game engine is not woke but it's been neglected by woke (bugs that impact the game audiovisually)

[@askvra]

This is the way of thinking in this situation. This drama is from community management side, not the engine itself but some people seems have a hard time to distinguish it.

[@NameNotAChannel]

@@scarm_rune I could not identify a single woke-inspired tool feature that was prioritized OVER bugs... the level of incompetence that may be evident by the existence of long-standing bugs could be attributed to a lack of programming skill in the team, but that would have been present from the start, and isn't the fault of hiring on woke devs at the expense of a merit-based system... and as Godot isn't really a "company" to begin with, it's not running like a business anyway, where such things would happen. (the community, consisting of non-woke members, could step up and contribute bug fixes as well...) I just don't see this as a "woke" vs "non-woke" issue... and to be clear, I do not support woke ideology.

Just a reminder that Godot is under MIT which means they can easily make new versions under licenses you don't like. If they decide to limit who has access to it and censor your games in the future they can, godot 5 could easily be closed source or ban developers who don't abide by their ideology. Blender is under the GPL instead of the MIT for this exact reason, and while godot shouldn't be under the GPL it should also not be MIT, for it to be future proof while still allowing closed source games to be released with it it should be something like the LGPL.

Godot is a free and Open source game engine so peeps should not really worry about that and can still use the game engine. Heck if you wanted to you can even Fork it (which most probably wont due to to how much time that would take). Also Godot has been pretty transparent in what they update on their website and the same thing about their priorities it's the same way with Blender where you wont get all you want updated since in projects like that you do need people to maintain it. But something is wrong tho that community manager is not doing Godot any favor. Also here's some context Apparently the initial tweet was made cause someone in a thread said this "It makes sense doesn't it? Woke studios always use pre built engines to make games because they can't build their own engines."

[@Mawral]

The engine is 'okay' in its current state and free with no catches, I'm sure a range of people will continue to use it. But its core community is absolutely on-board with identity politics, and I have to wonder if it's alienating some would-be contributors from making the engine even better. Godot is not a product, though, so critiquing it as though it's a paid product comes across as entitled. You fix the issues you have with godot by contributing the fixes yourself, or donating and requesting someone headhunts them. Course there's also layers to it, some won't consider donating as an option if there's a risk of their money being spent on activism instead of the engine. And blocking any game developer on the official socials is an odd look regardless.

They have been for a while. If you want to make your own game you are better off learning a bit of programming. It may be harder when you start but in the long run you will have more freedom.

[@Dreamhaxor]

Making your own engine isn't really a feasible option these days, as you would have to put in resources to learn all of the physics involved, the way textures interact with 3d models, the way light propagates in/on/off different surfaces, even just the simple effect of how to accurately project a 3d space onto a 2d screen, and then to know all of the efficient algorithms to make all of this executable in viable time frame. Even if you ignore 3d games and stick with just 2d, there is a lot involved in how animations are processed, how to depict what is shown on what pixel etc. This is why even something like Flash is an engine that handles difficult low tier stuff. Modern game design is standing on the shoulders of 40 years of development.

The fact they blocked someone for kindly asking about Bitmap font support is beyond evil. The person didn't even say anything bad they just asked them to focus on something that's more important for the engine than identity politics.

[@Gizrah]

Man, Godot's Discord has been rainbow colored for over 2 years now, since the meme started that "oh it's July 1st, 0.00, gotta turn the gay off on twitter". They've been full of all kinds of ... creatures... forever. It's an open source project, so it automatically attracts many kinds of people, including the shouting ones.

[@teh1archon]

September 2024 is the date month Unity made a comeback, first by reverting completely the retardation of the run-time fee, and second by letting their biggest rival (to whom they lost most developers to) shoot itself in the leg just when all the eyes are set on them to out-do Unity. I don't think many people will ditch Godot over it but oh boy they opened the flood gates for devs to question their loyalty to the engine and rather they should keep using it over a dozen other free+SC/free/freemium/premium alternatives.

[@ClokworkGremlin]

Godot is (currently) the least bad of well known game engines from a business standpoint. The alternatives are Unity (HAH!), Unreal (owned by Tencent and went woke years ago), and making your own. This isn't going to make me stop using Godot, but I'm definitely not going to be donating any money going forward.

[@kusog3]

in some of my small scale project's, I was proud to show the Godot logo, BUt now I'm sooo tired of all these identity politics and drama attracting DEI activists using it to farm engagement, I might even consider going back to Libgdx...

[@DanteCrowlley]

Glad I took my X8 demake n left

[@Visstnok]

Glad I never donated and never will. But the engine is fine as is for the games I want to make, so I'll stick with it.

[@arachnid83]

I don't know if its legally possible or not, but just don't give credit to the engine in the games. Don't show any sign of its involvement. Of course, people can easily find out but still its good damage control and at the same time a good way to stick it to the management of the game engine. Also, get a fork going.

[@kathrineici9811]

[@JudgeNicodemus]

The Godot based fork is imminent.

[@enricopaolocoronado2511]

Goddammit, I was planning on learning how to make a game on it.

[@ozi-g-be]

This doesn't stop you tho

[@OneWayTwoBrazil]

Godot fumbled having an entire year to innovate their product after Unity imploded. Now that I see that the company has been infested by activists, it’s beginning to make sense why the updates were staggered. I’m still optimistic for the future of the engine, but these companies need to severe these toxic community managers immediately.

[@york4815]

i used this game engine and liked it because of the simplicity of creating a project. However, I needed some help from the community because I wasn’t understanding certain aspects and encountered several bugs in the engine. Unfortunately, the Godot community is extremely uncomfortable and toxic, with a form of toxic positivity. You can’t say anything bad about the project, and if you don’t use a pronoun in your bio, or if someone asks your pronoun and you say something like “male,” you are banned. Additionally, they engage in gatekeeping; you cannot have a different opinion. If you criticize, you are banned. Research and see the number of people banned from this community for extremely trivial reasons. Some advice, get out of this environment, there are countless better options and if you wish, feel free to destroy this place or create a fork. Edit: many people will say that it is open source, in fact it is, but they are aiming for profit, many people probably wanted projects to free tools in Godot, they were banned, they are nothing more than a company but work without pay

[@CoryRwtfyt]

Well, shit. I started using godot because it was open source and rpg maker looked like complete dogshit. Unreal- ceo hates linux, see rocket league Unity- can’t trust them due to the pay to install bs Godot- went woke Rpg maker- dumpster fire Guess I’ll just toss it all.

[@jakezepeda1267]

I don't like Godot anyways. Felt super clunky/unintuitive compared to my short time with Unity.

[@SterileNeutrino]

Wokers wokenizing the engine instead of adding font import support is the same energy as Hugo Boss types hanging flags and putting bronze busts into every hallway they traverse instead of worrying about industrial production.

[@VioletSilence]

"Everything woke turns into shit" - former and future US president

[@Vortex-5025]

Good thing about Godot is its an open source engine aka they can be ask woke as theu want but they still can't stop ppl from making whatever game they want.

[@MephiticMiasma]

"if a game is made, you must buy it" yep, that's what the government is for. and police lol

[@WilliamShinal]

This is awkward, but I do agree with some of the people here that Godot itself can't be forced to go woke. If the leadership do find some workaround to push their agenda, a management shakeup would be needed.

[@orenjineko646]

It's a shame really. Programming/coding is always about understanding computer logics. Arts come after for user interface. Godot is a bridge between hard coding and easier graphics programming; just like visual basic or visual c++ were. A game can be political or not depends on the dev. Clear cut programming logics just can't get along with ambiguous D.I.E woke concept.

Out of touch suits want "what the kids are into" to make more money, confusing it it for "forward thinking," not realizing that they simply don't get "what the kids are into." How "out of touch" are these suits? Many don't even know how to open a cardboard box.

​​@@enforcerridley158also there's a lot of people that wanna pave a way into our kids pants. The green party of Germany for example has been caught twice having long term plans to legalize pdf-filea. Once in the 70s and then again in 2014

[@JohnathanMahones]

I learnt Godot before and I want to learn more coding on it. Really sad that they went woke. Cocos Creator 3D and Defold, you are my only hope for sane game engine creators.

[@ForumBlackwolfdave]

the level of autism needed to make an engine like that makes them prone to be necromorphs, you can't escape it

[@orca1361]

Time to give Cave engine a shot or learn to code and make my own.

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

At least Ghost of Yotei devs don't need to uglify the main character.

[@odilazulixl5351]

Thank god it's open source and cannot force anything on me. Also They don't get any money from anyone using the engine, unlike Unity or Unreal. The only thing is that now Godot's name is down in the gutter so the product will suffer unless you don't credit Godot for making the game. The California ideology people just had to come and make the rest of us look bad they couldn't help themselves.

[@kusog3]

if their entire dev team becomes woke, I imagine we can't even use "gay" as a variable or method name...

[@Tvx9]

One of many reasons to no use Godot

[@Arassar]

Welp, time to write our own game engine.

[@Guedez1]

Godot is MIT Licence open source. Just make a branch

[@Guedez1]

I want to see a "Basedot Engine" or some other cringe name term being as politically incorrect on twitter while pushing good updates and everyone switching to it

[@ndchunter5516]

yeah......sure, ask unity about how people don't turn their backs on engines......

[@nikfighter262]

Good morning 🌄

[@Plasmagon99]

I just switched from Unity to Godot because I felt they had better business practices, then this happens.

[@theyellowarchitect4504]

As a godot user, I want to say this is because of Godot's new community manager, hired like 4 months ago. She is the living WOKE stereotype. No idea how she got hired. But the devteam itself is not woke itself. Despite the discord server flying the rainbow flag, its devs just don't care and simply focus on making a quality engine.

[@m.a6416]

It has been amusing to watch companies gradually burn in real time due to inept hirings, from Boeing to movie studios to game companies. They infested industries built by talent and thought that highly optimized ship can steer itself forever.

[@5uperM]

RIP GoDot. Truly nothing is safe.

[@nBp4tB12]

I mean, it's open source. The wokeness of open source programs is not so important. Because you can either not support it with money and still use it, or just fork it.

[@EnderCrypt]

Thats sad, i was really hopping for a succesful open source game engine that doesent pick politics/side/ company, but oh well, will just pick something else

[@blackstar-genX]

Nothing like wasting development money on things that don't benefit your engine what so ever 😮

[@PanicOregon]

yay -_- , welp I guess Godot goes in the trashbin now.

[@Alpha13yt]

Open-source and Woke do not mix well together. We will se which one gets thrown in the garbage bin first

its an insane engine the mesh collider is broken and you need a character controller to move a platform and asset management is the worst but its free
