@@gamefromscratch so no one has got a game to demo? Yall are Godot cultists. Show me your game please.

[@technosurfer92]

If the endgame of this effort is that someone high up at Apple notices this, and ends up donating to the Godot Foundation, then all of this effort would have been worth it.

[@MoguMasso]

I met the guy at FOSDEM 2016. He kept asking me questions about Godot since I was behind the booth. He's a mad lad.

[@btarg1]

I really like this UI, even compared to the desktop version. Porting to iPad really gave them an excuse to give Godot a nicer user experience!

[@gamechannel1271]

Only nicer for a touch screen only device. Would be terrible to use on anything with a dedicated mouse and keyboard.

[@ameerashourdraws]

This looks really great and impressive! Hope this gets done, and honestly, I hope the official Android version's UI gets the same treatment as Xodot!

[@maxking97]

that would be awesome

[@KorinDevsDumbStuff]

Godot with MaterialYOU theming would be crazy

[@TheAlphaPanda13]

We got Godot on iPad before gta6.

[@MichaelGGarry]

Finally a use for all that M4 power?

[@richbuilds_com]

Y'see, this is the power of Open Source. Can you image the hoops he would have had to jump through to get Unity working on an iPad? Without access to the source? Everything about this is impressive

[@Beryesa.]

Migueeeeel de Icazaaaa???!!!! The GNOME founders!!!! This has gotta be solid 🌟

[@nikkehtine]

That guy is absolutely cracked, what a legend

[@Theraot]

"Me Guess", but swap the s with an l sound, and you have Miguel.

[@Kioki1-x8p]

Godot has a bright future as a game engine because it's open-source & no hidden fees, nor any future costs unlike private closed-source.

[@fablewalls]

There's something odd here - Mike from Gamefromscratch or maybe Brad Colbow said Krita would never be on the App store because of the Open Source licence....?

[@Ignawesome]

Miguel = Mee-**gehl** It's also the equivalent of Michael

[@richbuilds_com]

WHY DIDN'T HE CALL IT IGOT!!!??!

[@potato9832]

So you take your tablet, add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and now you've got a tiny portable development workstation? Huh. 🤔

[@chidorirasenganz]

And you don’t even need that. Everything works even with just touch or the Pencil

[@richbuilds_com]

I wonder if any of these interface tweaks will make it to the desktop? I sorta kinda like the right hand sidebar way of handling nested resources, but it needs a breadcrumb or similar so you can jump back quick.

[@Kevinaya]

Godot is available on play store too

[@Baekstrom]

How about deploying your project? How does that work?

[@magnetomage]

oh, i was thinking it would be zo-go

[@Syper7]

Finally something that the over powered M chip can finally be used for Also would be cool to use this on an iPhone, maybe support for mouses and keyboard for the goofy with blue tooth or that C port on the iPhone 15

Now I want blender on Ipad

[@TheRealAfroRick]

I asked the Blender community about this a couple of years ago and they came at me with pitchforks and torches.

[@julio1148]

I'm sorry if I missed it, but which iPad model and gen did you use for this video?

[@gamefromscratch]

Gen 1 pro

[@julio1148]

@ thank you!!

[@Shazzner]

Literally no idea Miguel de Icaza was doing Godot stuff, that's cool.

[@AnasSiddiquee]

I really hope they fix the android app! It's hell to work with it

[@jarwarren]

Migwel. Exo-Got. Your pronunciation game in unrivaled lol

[@TheRealAfroRick]

Very cool. Curious how he got around Apple's scripting language nonsense. Maybe that is why it requires testflight and not something on the app store.

[@pandaengine]

Okay now my dream has been fulfilled, I need another one!

[@MarcosCodas]

That is super, super cool.

[@ddxyzz]

Now i want mobile version to get as good as this

[@DigitalProphet_]

Very impressive. Just a pity I can’t click with the Godot way of working and I’m not keen on GDscript. Last time I checked C# was still a second class citizen. I want to like it but I still prefer Unity.

[@GoblinArmyInYourWalls]

Don't really understand where this second class citizen dialouge comes from, I've been using c# for a whole now and other than needing am external editor it's not bad at all. Seem like the only people who keep repeating this second class citizen nonsense are people who don't use it.

[@mxjxn-art]

Love your videos but it's hard to hear you but such a simple and common name

[@heysoygiovanni6616]

godot es como el color blanco tiene todos lso colores, unavez estudie genética pero cuando vi que no funciono me fui a la matrix de pixeles [], recuerdo que fue la mejor opción,

[@sebastiansossa6834]

looks nice

[@jcrc1717]

Better than the official Android version 🤪. And that's how apps continue to be better for iOS than Android.

[@00jknight]

Miguel de Icaza is impressive and I consider this a hobby project of his. That being said, I think this is kinda a waste of effort. I cant see this being useful.

[@chidorirasenganz]

Braindead take

[@dovmerrill804]

@@00jknight Why do you say that? Serious question.

[@jeremykiel6709]

@@dovmerrill804 because game dev tooling is usually lead by the commercial industry and productivity. The only real world application this might solve is portable level previewing. Like how architect have tablets to show clients. Other than that, it is inferior to just using a desktop environment.

[@inkapmusic]

the farther from windows the better, nice work!

[@lyh1]

Just share the game project and no need to buy a apple developer then this is a game changer.

[@raulcengher7735]

There is a android game engine and is called It's Magic Engine

[@christianr.5868]

Will it be able to export games?

[@JorgeRosa]

GODOT with more amazing News! 👍

[@Aeduo]

Was that thumbnail on purpose? Haha. I guess if one wants to grab attention it works.

[@marvetoons1625]

This is really impressive If only someone can do the same for the android version

[@kortyzol420]

If only blender was possible...

[@dovmerrill804]

I wish Miguel would do the same for Blender, and bring Blender to the iPad (probably using Swift bindings as well). Many people are waiting for Blender on iPad.

[@chidorirasenganz]

Eh there are plenty of 3d alternatives on the iPad

[@stevethepocket]

Blender is GPL, which means it's banned from the App Store. No point porting it. Godot is MIT License which means it's practically public domain, no restrictions.

[@dovmerrill804]

@@chidorirasenganz True that, and good ones.

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@dovmerrill804 the main thing I feel we’re missing is a good texturing app and shader editor. Tbh I have ideas for both but they are down on my list of priorities atm 😅

[@dovmerrill804]

@@stevethepocket I forgot about the licensing issues. Thanks for clarifying/summarizing for us. Still, it would be nice if there was a way to work out the licensing issues (not going to happen, I’m sure). Seems like we are talking about artificial constructs here and not technical issues (obviously).

[@giffiyt]

Someone should port this GUI to Android as well.

[@gokselk]

Some people are trying to finish "Godot" but what other application can you do something similar to? Free and open source software. Apple was also the cause of the Unity nonsense.

[@gokselk]

Have you tried it on your vision pro device? I was wondering how it works. Apple devices seem to be saved by godot.

[@lordmuaddib]

it looks amazing, but it makes me a bit sad, the godot team is halting any kind of jit development to keep up with apple's bs policy...it's a stupid decision

[@ChristopherCricketWallace]

WIZARDRY

[@BetaTester704]

Cool and all, but what psychopath would want to make a game on a damn tablet

[@Dogman_35]

I mean tbf, tablets are getting closer to laptop usability lately if you just plug in a mouse and keyboard. And a lot of people are using them that way nowadays. I think it's more of an extreme portability niche, if you're trying to work while travelling and that's what you got. Not something that's meant to be anyone's primary setup.

[@AudioBoi1]

The only question I have is... Who the hell wants to make games on iPad? Like, what about writing code? That's hella inefficient. I'm the guy that HATES typing on phones. Using voice-to-text most of the time. I would never use this thing. I'm curious if anybody will use it on iPad. It's impressive port. But kinda useless, IMHO.

[@dugtrioramen]

This guy is insane

[@ExplorerOfAges]

I get that you want to put out a video as quickly as possible, but please take two minutes to look up how to pronounce a name before you start. It's really grating that a lot of content creators don't do this.

[@Volt-Eye.]

We Godot on iPad befor Godot 6 💀💀💀💀

[@matthewb192]

Freaking heck!

[@Volt-Eye.]

This man is really something 1:15

[@ksNanoSquid]

Shame Godot doesn't want people to use it anymore.

[@tingamer2508]

It’s really sad that open source software requires proprietary frameworks like swift in order to be good.

[@Drejzer]

1:01 I heard it's pretty good for servers. But it's seriously hampered by the lack of non-apple GUI lib/framework... Kinda like C# back in the day... With the difference that M$oft wasn't... Well... Apple. Yeah, were technically could use Qt... (Due to Cpp interop) But Qt hurts.

[@stevethepocket]

I can't imagine someone wanting to make a game who doesn't at least own a real computer, but this guy does impressive work at least. I wish more projects had someone like him on board; open source apps might not be such a usability nightmare.

[@GoblinArmyInYourWalls]

You'd be very surprised at how many people only have access to used tech like old phones and old tablets.

[@dovmerrill804]

@@stevethepocket Depends on your definition of “real computer “. Most wouldn’t consider the iPad a “real computer”, but it’s possible to do quite a few computing tasks on it. I’m sure you already know this, though.

[@arthritic]

Godot = I'm pretending to make a game.

[@GoblinArmyInYourWalls]

I remember when people talked about Unity like this. You'll never publish anything anyways, so don't be a hypocrite

[@kipa_chu]

Don't be hyped by these videos. Godot is not a replacement for Unity or Unreal. If you're reading this and you're serious about game dev then start learning Unity and save yourself some time.

[@kaileh57]

Wdym? It's a much more fully finished engine than Unity, and multiple real game studios are making their next games with it. Is this the marketing tactics Unity has resorted to now that everyone has jumped ship 😂

[@JoltNet]

Who says it’s a replacement? It’s another engine, with a paradigm and features that some devs may find more useful for certain projects. Jesus, this Unity/Unreal elitism is just silly middle-school shit.

[@doradoro_com]

I hope those fools at the top don’t scare off this guy too, like they’ve driven away the rest of the competent people in the industry...
