One of the things with Godot is that it's fully open source and expandable, and as such theoretically it can be adapted to anything obscure, provided the technical knowledge. There are already some dedicated ppl supporting Godot on Haiku operating system, and I've seen at least one person trying to port it on Amiga out of all platforms. The fact that Amiga still exists is very surprising, that's how is it niche. The only real reason Godot can't export to consoles is because that requires non-free stuff, which clashes both with open source and the philosophy of the engine (as in fully owning it along with what you produce). But it could be in the future that some third party made the tools that attach to Godot and make the process of porting possible in-house. The possibilities are endless as long as there are developers who can and want to do it.

[@chocobochick5390]

Can't you turn your game into an .exe, put into something like unreal or gamemaker, and export it to consoles that way? Or would that cause problems?

[@Smaxx]

There's nothing stopping you from porting Godot to consoles and as far as I'm aware that has happened already. The problem is, console SDKs are all very restrictive and you can't reveal any details about them, including API calls and stuff, unless the other party is also a licensed developer. So creating ports and uploading even just the source code to the public is a big no-no, which unfortunately won't change unless the console developers change, but that's also their way to control access to their market, avoid exposed issues with copy protection, etc.

[@Smaxx]

@@chocobochick5390 Unfortunately, no. What you're suggesting is basically like wrapping an old magnetic tape around a bluray disc to play the tape on your PS4. Go figure. :)

[@_remblanc]

@@Smaxx yeah, i mean that's covered in "provided technical knowledge", but not everyone can do that on their own. what i mean is that nothing is stopping someone from creating a proprietary 3rd-party solution, and while that's far from ideal, at least that could theoretically bridge the gap somewhat.

[@arkfish]

I've recently switched to Godot after having trouble understanding Unity, and all I gotta say is that I love it! The animation editor is extremely flexible and in under an hour I've already gotten the basics of a platformer down, without having to go over to a tutorial each time. The code is easy to read and learn, which allows people who don't know a flick of code to create games. Learning-wise, there is in-built documentation that explains all of the features of Godot. I would definitely recommend Godot to someone who doesn't know how to program or make games. Godot also doesn't require any internet, so you could go to a public library (or really any place that has internet connection) and download Godot. Then, you can continue programming literally anywhere as long as you have a desktop/laptop with you.

[@craftmoon-vas]

Same here. I made a small tutorial kinda game on unity and it took me 3 weeks. But I didn't really understood everything I was doing. Then I followed the advice of "make a small game in both and decide which one you like after that" and like, 1 hour into Godot I knew I would chose it. Took me less than a week to do the same I did on unity, while understanding everything that I did, and most of it I did kinda intuitively since the usability is so great you can correctly "guess" what stuff does.

Godot also has C# support. options are good, and GDScript is optional. Also, if performance is of the essence, I think it's worth mentioning that Godot has C++ support as well, and it's hard to match effective, well written C++ code in efficiency and performance. I'm not sure about Unity's language support, I know it's mainly C#, but I don't know if it has C++ support, so if it does, than hooray for both engines.

[@UltimatePerfection]

Unity has c++ support via native plugins. You'd still need some c# glue code to use it, but you can use c++ in unity.

[@Domarius64]

You would be hard pressed to find a use case where C++ performs faster than C# as an indie developer - you won’t be writing rendering code for one thing, and Microsoft has challenged anyone to show that C# is less performant than C++, that’s how confident they are about it. I’ve written procedural mesh generation code in Unity and it’s very fast.

If you rephrased some of your thoughts, you could end up with a few less words in each sentence. - I'm assuming you're reading something once in a while, if that's the case, get the text closer to camera.

"Unity is more beginner-friendly" uuuh I picked up Godot in three days, I'm trying to try a little project right now, while I dropped Unity in three days, so uh... I can't really agree with that. Maybe it's just that I like the tutorials better.

[@ahmetoguzhallac8775]

Same, gdscript is way easier than C#. But if you already know the C# language I can see his point.

[@RomainDelmaire]

Probably there are more resources for Unity online than there are for Godot. Also, if you dropped Unity in only 3 days you clearly gave up too fast. Sure there are a few stuff that you need to wrap your head around, but learning enough C# to start a little project shouldn't take more than half a day. There's also visual scripting in Unity so technically, you don't even need to know how to write a single line of code.

The "Hacked" 2D is also my biggest concern when making a retro styled game. It's a pain in the ass to create that authentic feeling of 2D game when using a 3D engine and that's the biggest reason for me to possibly change to Godot. For 3D games I would use Unity only because I have been developing games with it since 2013 and it's the most familiar tool for me. I know it's quirks and have a lot of code base and assets for it. If you are a starting developer, check them both out. For 2D games I would probably recommend Godot even though I have never used it. PS: 6:00 Unity actually has a tilemap tools and I think it has had them for a while now. You can also get rid of the 1 pixel gap by turning off anti-aliasing from the quality settings. There has also been more tools to create 2D games but their quality is somewhat poor. The tilemap tool is also a crappy one. It's ok for prototyping but it misses all kinds of handy tricks you could use with tiles. There are other tools for this though like the Super Tilemap Editor but I haven't had enough time to test it out yet.

[@samuelabreu4349]

As a linux user I tried to use Unity as my first game engine but, yeah, it was quite frustrating. It really didn't feel like something made for my OS.

[@Andromen22]

I really like Godot, it's so intuitive and pleasing to use. Also it was my first game engine and I can't wait for 4.0 to come out. But the problem is that for the game I want to make, Godot lacks a crucial feature which is generating 3D navmesh at runtime. And since I'm making a Colony Builder with a procedural environment and pathfinding, I had no choice but to go for Unity eventhough it was such a pain at start. I hope I'll be able to make procedural 3D games in Godot in the future.

[@ViolinIliev]

I did a small test on the speed difference between GDScript and C#. I took one of the demo projects "Stylized Planet Generator" and rewrote the code in C#. The GDScript version takes about 6-7 seconds to generate the planet, whilst the C# version takes about 2-3 seconds.

Yeah I accidentally got them switched up in the title, my bad lol, fixed it now

I'd choose GODOT because Its so easy to implement tools for your needs, because everything is saved as plain text, so you can pretty much make an application or even use those values in a large database. And the changes you make in those plain text is updated in engine while GODOT is open. So easy to work with if you're used to use multiple stuff to archieve what you want. In fact I've been using more Notepad++ to shape my project than the Godot itself.

You should do more tutorials, your voice is soothing

[@riddle1522]

So I've been wanting to switch to godot from unity, but it seems like this video is trying it's best to convince me to use unity... Like, every single point made was in favor of unity.

[@mcrafterzz2447]

Unity has a tilemap tool

[@MrPicklepod]

When I downloaded Godot I thought I did something wrong cause it didnt seem like there was an install. I'm actually not sure if theres an install at all lol.

[@pussinboots9983]

Yeah, I was shocked about that as well. It is surprisingly lightweight!

[@HermanRas]

Thanks for you input, the download size was the deciding factor for me aswell ... I don't have a pre priority for C++ / C# / GDScript (Python).. Thanks Relay value you view

My humble advice: make a small game on both and choose after that. I did that and it was so easy to tell which one I wanted to use, all things considered.

[@mirageowl]

especially after the 2019 updates, neither my old PC or my low end laptop was having a good time with Unity open up wait times. The python-like scripting language is what really sold me on it to be honest. All the features I enjoy or need from Unity are also here in Godot (I mostly do 2D stuff). Growing up my favourite engine has always been GameMaker, but it was really not catching up well with Unity. With Godot I feel like I'm using an engine that I enjoy again instead of an engine I have to. To be fair, when I interned at a company and was using Unity on their computers and had two screens to work with it was also pretty fun to work with Unity. That however just is not what my home setup looks like.

With 500mB HDD you can install Win’98 and after compress all data, you will be able to play some MUD games! 😃 So how huge it is.
