Godot doesn't need to have every thing in one file so you need to make a scene for every instance that is not the level unless you want to make level inter chance able then you make the levels their own scenes. this helps with controlling animations properties and code.

[@SaladEntertainment]

Oh yeah, to make the performance on Godot even better, there is an addon called "Godot Jolt" which is a better physics engine for Godot!

You are handling FBXs wrong in Godot. When you import FBXs you should export them as scenes, then load those scenes. That will fix many of the problems with FBX files in Godot. Another way would be to convert them to gltf, as that is a native format.

[@FrozenInIce]

godot needs you to add the colider and if it has code as well. the hitbox issue is caused by you dragging the model to play area instead of creating a scene.

[@MrAidaslit]

As a Godot user, I kinda expected half of these results the moment I heard "importing FBX". Also, the animation playing and instancing are done incorrectly as other comments pointed out, but hey its all a learning process. It's nice to see you giving Godot a try at least, I hope with all the advice from these comments you will give it another shot sometime. I love the engine precisely for the node system, for me it was so much more intuitive when starting out than "game objects" in other engines (or so I've heard, havent tried out unity/unreal). Also C# support is there, it's getting better version by version. I wouldnt really have problems using GDscript if not for the fact that it doesnt have interfaces, kind of a pain to work around an issue that has been solved ages ago.

[@axelseven7]

You can actually make the Project explorer split into a tree view and a file explorer (like in Unity and Unreal) by pressing the white square (labelled "Change Split Mode") in the top right of the project explorer.

[@RayOfSunlight984]

Advice: Don't wait until Godot gets good, you should jump *NOW* and *HELP* make it better. And also, about thr FBX import, *KEEP IN MIND* that Godot, unlike Unreal and Unity, it's free(as in 'Freedoom) and open source, and since FBX it's a propietary thing, workarounds had to be done, hope you understand.

[@DurmanHimself]

@@ClokworkGremlin It really depends on how someone writes code. For example if you use burst compiler perfomance in unity will be much much better. And it all comes down to overengenering of unity.

There's no physics going on anywhere in those scenes, so Godot's default physics engine being bad wouldn't affect those tests. Same if your game works off of transforms and not physics. But yeah, I hear they plan on making Jolt the default physics engine some day cuz it's just that good.

[@YuriReal_cc]

unreal propaganda

[@GuyPaddock]

IMO Unreal's packaging takes longer because it's also validating all the assets, pre-compiling the shaders, and cooking the content, which can make it harder to reverse-engineer whereas I believe Godot's output format isn't anything special. Not defending Unreal's insanely long packaging times but it is also doing more.

[@ForkmachineGames]

Yeah .pck of godot is somewhat undefendable, you can extract almost all the assets, i honestly don't mind the packaging of unreal, you will not build the game many often (plus the first time is the longest, next time will be much faster), but cpp compilation is really takes time, the iterations will be sometimes painful

[@wakannnai1]

​@@ForkmachineGamesThis is heavily ram dependent. With a 5900X and 32GB of RAM, my compile times are normally within 30s for every new class I introduce. Live Coding allows the changes to propagate to the engine immediately. When I had 16GB, builds were painfully slow...

[@vast634]

Well, workflow and performance of the packaged game should be taken separately. A lot of problems you had in Godot where also early hurdles in the learning curve. What matters is the workflow once you have experience in the systems, especially iteration time (codechanges, testbuilds).

I appreciate that you showed the pros and cons for both engines - I think your criticisms of Godot are valid (I dont know unreal so I wont speak about that) - I see a lot of comments talking about how you did things incorrectly in each engine or whatever and that's what produced different results/workflows but I think it's important to recognize that this is the first impression that most people would have with either engine and so the criticisms are justified even if you were doing things "wrong".

[@aerostorm_]

It's "wrong" because the creator has existing tendencies that they are brute forcing into the new engines. Rather than taking a small amount of time to find fairly basic tips about workflows.

[@TheLayeredKing]

I would agree with you if the creator was also experiencing their first impressions of Unreal. I'm certain that is not the case.

[@jak3legacy]

The lighting looks substantially more complex in Unreal, I wonder if that + Unreal's natively complex materials are the primary factors

[@vaivs7903]

I would suggest using gltf instead of fbx when working with godot. I can import my models, fully textured and the model will directly have a working animation player which you can take directly into the animation tree.

[@deepelements]

I tried Godot and there is no way in hell I would give up Unreal 5 for that Engine.

[@lucianoinso]

Thank you for your review! That result was surprising! I always was cautious to do things in godot because of fear of not being optimized enough, or too "high end"/bloatish, I've got myself to learn it since a couple of months and I'm totally loving it! Also I've found that most of your problems stemmed from not knowing how to use the engine as it is intended, there are some great official tutorials on how to tackle basic 3D projects which would have made your life way easier, including those model imports times, moving them, and the animations. I have been there tho, trying to do things like other programs do and finding that the thingy doesn't move is frustrating hahah. I also understand that you're more fond of Unreal and lower level languages, for I was too, my first games where using SDL and Allegro with C/C++, I considered game engines a waste of computing power those days, now I'm a bit wiser and understand how much easier they can make things, which don't necessarily need to run in the most optimal way, anyways, I do appreciate that you tried to be impartial, by showing Unreal's downsides too, haha!

[@darksignal_dev]

You have to import a glb file into godot if you want to work fast. Because it takes maximum 5-10 sec. to import a glb file. The reason why ou are waiting so much time for the fbx import is you are using a 3rd party app that slows down the engine. And godot works different than unreal. Whe you duplicate the node , it just duplicates and it and when you do a change in the other node , it does not changes the duplicated word. For that reason you get the "bugs" when you try to change the animation in the all nodes. Btw you dont have to write code to play animation , you can toggle the Autoplay button on the Inspector.

You don't need a script to play the animations. Just hit autoplay in the animationplayer properties

As for improving the image, you can also greatly improve the quality of graphics in Godot. At Godot I export the game to whatever platform I want, on any platform. In Unreal, you export to Linux from Windows, but it gives a lot of errors, almost impossible, and if you are on Linux it is impossible to export to Windows. For this, and for many other reasons, I prefer Godot.

[@GenelOlarak1]

why linux? While unreal and unity have console support, Godot does not. Console support for Godot seems very difficult to come by, and the developers agree with this. I guess the biggest minus of Godot is console support.

Godot, also uses blender integration to import things like FBX, the box is large because the armature is large. I usually create a separate scene where I can control the sizes and what stuff is imported, im not defending godot, there should be an easier way to do this but you can convert to GLB using blender or similar and the box will also be fixed that way. you can also autoplay animations instead of using code to start the animation. Godot is a learning curve, but personally after using all 3 regularly I see godot becoming the mainstream fairly soon with the huge support stream from the unity defactos

[@Dankakes]

to clarify, the armature being large is just a weird import artifact. if you deleted the animations in blender the model would populate the box is what i mean, so godot is considering that space as the usage space. it is quite annoying to deal with

[@ForkmachineGames]

I know, but is via GdExtension, not as straight forward as unreal, however i have tired it, it is not that complicated to use, but every time you made a change you must restart the engine, otherwise you can't recompile the .dll file because godot locks it, this is more of a windows issue because in linux that is not a thing, but that is that, i hope they will fix it soon

@@shengalabu8050 I would never use UE for my indie projects. For AAA game development UE is very good, not saying it's perfect, this year had many UE games with performance issues but maybe it's the publishers to blame not giving enough time to polish the games. Godot is improving quickly, not on a level of Unity or Unreal Engine. But Godot is a very capable and lightweight engine overall with tons of great features and community add-ons with a very unrestricted licencing. I used Unity for a while, tried UE too for a little but I have the best time with Godot so far. Pleasantly surprised by it.

[@markcorrigan3930]

can't you also use C++ in Godot 4?

[@ForkmachineGames]

It can be, but not straight forward as unreal, you must use GdExtension

[@vast634]

Depending on the level you are involved, since its open source you could add as much functionality or alter the engine using C++ as you want. A larger studio might remodel it to a custom engine for their specific project.

[@rameynoodles152]

@@ForkmachineGames Honestly, you should try it out, and make a video about it. I think we need some more exposure to the problems and hurdles of using C++ with Godot, because I'd like C++ to be easier to use, and making more people aware of the downfalls is the path to improvement.

[@Mart-E12]

[@lillybyte]

The problem with Godot will be the rest of the game. It seems attractive when you prototype... but once you start building an actual 3D game... the engine falls apart pretty quick. We had to move our 3D game from Godot 4 to Unreal because Godot couldn't even load 1/4 of one of its levels... the engine would just freeze attempting to load assets. And despite public appeareances, Godot's devs don't care because they only make tiny games... and most of them 2D. If anyone says otherwise, ask them where their complete 3D game is-- it'll either be (a) a very bare bones prototype with a mostly empty world, or (b) a low poly game, or most likely (c) they don't have one at all because 99% of Godot users are hobbyists whose biggest games they've ever worked on were game jams. In larger games Unreal is MUCH faster... as Godot won't run at all.

[@messengercreator]

why ur reverse Godot there's no loading just 5 second's mean while unreal engine u ar now un/real so Godot 4 is a sukuna and rank Godot engine is top 1

[@readyforlol]

Or maybe AAA games require AAA budgets handed out by risk-averse investors/publishers which won't greenlight a big project on an unproven engine... I'm working on a semi-big, high fidelity 3D game on Godot right now, so I guess we'll see. No problems so far.

[@AlexandraCristinaTepuseD-cq7ob]

U realise Godot have fully access to C++ right?

[@ForkmachineGames]

yeah, but not straight forward

[@jorge28624]

why did you put everything in one file tho?

[@anarchychicken69]

In UE5 open a 3rd person project, it's faster for what you are doing. When a project is made it takes like 15 mins then open it again is made the load times are less than 1 min. UE5 has a bad UI. There is way too much going on for most people. I wish they had a show less so you don't get lost.
