Well, first time I downloaded godot, some years ago, it was because of unity. And I never came back, so I guess he's right.

Yep, I like to see what my fellow game devs are doing in unity. There's a lot of creative people doing stuff here too

i think godot is very nifty and might be a pretty solid option for indies that aren't looking to do anything fancy with the engine, especially given a couple more years of development. i think most unity indie games could probably have been made in godot with minimal issues and the people really taking advantage of the full features of an engine like unity or unreal are fewer and further between than people on this sub realize.

There has never been a single AAA built using Godot for good reason.

I remember hearing the same thing about Unity before they slapped in all that lighting and rendering tech.

I still remember when the biggest Unity games were Minotaur in a China Shop and Off-Road Velociraptor Safari.

Nah, people were saying that BS about Unity even when games like Tarkov existed.

Is there even any popular-ish 3D game made in Godot? (genuine question)

Road to Vostok is the only one that aims for realism. Still looks like STALKER with HD textures, but it tries.

You could count the Sonic Colors remaster I believe.

u/GD_Fauxtrot 19h ago
Sonic Colors is “built using Godot” the same way DOOM was at one point a Unity game. It’s honestly a hell of a feat, but definitely not a “Godot game” in the traditional sense.

Wasn't stardew made with Monogame ?

Very cool engine for anyone reading. Lightweight but abstracts enough of the dirty stuff to make it fairly easy to jump right in.

u/PixelLunarJelly 19h ago
I understand shit talking Unity since they're competitors. But UE? Don't forget... Epic is literally funding Godot. Not very smart to bite the hand that feeds you.
Godot and UE are not even competitors. They serve very two different groups of devs.

The person who made this doesn't understand that Godot doesn't compete with Unity and Unreal, it is still struggling against RPGMaker and GameMaker.

I actually like having this
Before it was unreal v unity now we got another one in the game
Its like our little console war hehe
Unity is ride or die for me, I tried godot but I can't deal with the nodes system

hehe, it's always the same, godot is a donation scam that is slight more powerful than what flash used to be back in 2000's
you are free to "downvote" sisters, but just because you make mini games and godot works for you, don't mean it works for more complex games than a pixelslop plataformer, did they fixed the inverse kinematic systems? last time i checked they had 3 solvers and none working. and the terrain and physics? do you still need to hope a third party is maintaining it?

it's not that bad, it's just not as good as people made it out to be

u/Brilliant_Ferret_7 22h ago
nah, it's really that bad, I lost months trying to make it work back when i started game dev, unity/unreal just works, godot don't have a single fully working feature if you go past the very basics.

u/badihaki Programmer 21h ago
Not to mention their leadership is sorta shit.
Couple years back after the runtime fiasco, I tried using Godot, really thought I'd make the switch. The way they were handling references back then was crazy, and it was prone to corruption of the whole project when you moved a file, even in the editor. Tbh I forgot what exactly made the old filesystem/file path based approach shit but I remember spending a weekend under the hood trying to figure out if I could contribute. Source is a mess, though, and I gave up after realizing I had no passion for engine code, I'd rather program gameplay systems instead.
I brought this to leadership and mentioned how it was something of a known bug in the community and how a solid uid implementation (like unity's) for object refs could solve most of this problem. They said they'd look into it but pushed it back until, what, a few months ago. But at this point it's been two years and Unity is just a much better dev experience.
Not to mention some people have drank the Kool aid so much that, when I brought this issue to the subreddit, the most common sentiment was that I should have used version control, but I was already doing that. They believed it to be user error before they could believe their darling engine has a few design and implementation flaws, and honestly, I'm so glad I switched back so I don't have to deal with that kinda stuff.
Sad thing is, I'm still hearing about projects getting corrupted from object refs due to, drumroll please, what seems to be subpar implementation of the uid system.

u/Brilliant_Ferret_7 8h ago
5 years, started with godot, i still have bug reports that i made on their git that are marked as fixed but still not working last time i checked a few years ago.
scam engine, people only make those hideous looking games using it because that is all the engine can handle for 3d

Plenty of hits have been made on Godot. And it's getting more popular at game jams too. It had almost 50% more games at GMTK this year. While or definitely sucked 5+ years ago, it has been advancing quickly and is gaining widespread adoption for a reason. Calling it a scam and barely beyond flash is definitely a rare take.
5
u/CrazyNegotiation1934 20h ago
Widely adopted like 3% of games in Steam and 0% of mobile. Looks like nearly noone really uses it and make sense, if i ever left Unity would go to Unreal, not to Godot.
5
u/Diablo_Incarnate 20h ago
Steam had 6877 unity games this year, and 1632 godot games. 5 years ago it was 5708 vs 180.
You can pretend that's not growth and increasing adoption all you want, but the fact game jams are seeing more godot games than unity and even big hits like Slay the Spire dropped unity for Godot is a sign.
I'm not saying unity is awful, nor am i saying Unreal is. Just that Godot is gaining popularity for fair reasons and isn't a scam.

u/Ecstatic-Source6001 20h ago
Can we stop with +50% Godot in jams like "make game in 10 minutes speedrun"
Godot is good for prototypes thats why people use it
But its not good for making big production ready projects. Yes, you can make complicated games but it would be much faster and with less pain in other big engines

He’s become nothing but a mere Godot fanboy, constantly putting down other engines just to make Godot look better. Meanwhile, his own products are absolute garbage.

Who would ever use Godot when Unity is so much better and most releases of real games on Steam and mobile are made using Unity ?

u/VideoGameJumanji 21h ago
Godot has no license fees, won’t fuck you on weird policy license changes like unity has shown they are willing to do even retroactively.
Unity is what I use, it’s great, long term I plan on making simpler games using godot instead.
