Godot as a free to use software manages to create and ensure fair market dynamics on a otherwise very tight market with very few powerful competitors. Godot can ensure that any other engine acts in the best interest of their users for as long as Godot does so themselves.

Edit: to all the review bombers: at the time of shooting this video I, as the creator, was unaware of the stuff going on and only learned through the comments after uploading. I don't condemn any opinions and you are free to voice out here as long as you keep the tone friendly, but please keep my unawareness of the situation in mind before slandering me personally as an opportunist or a supporter of anything or any kind. The only thing I support is a free game engine in the game engine industry and this video represents my personal opinion towards this. Original text: After finally finishing the GDScript data container series I worked the last week to make these videos for which I had the scripts ready for weeks. Let me know what you think about Godot's role as an open source software in the game engine industry 🔻

@AshnSilvercorp 20 часов назад

precisely because the conflict that's happening. If the managers of Godot mess up, the license lets people get away from the mess. The license can't prevent me from using the engine if the makers of Godot hate me for no legitimate reason.

@igorgiuseppe1862 День назад

godot is in an unique position because unlike unity/unreal, its open source. unreal is "source code avaliable" but their licence terms are so bad that it might as well be proprietary, as for unity i cant remember if they share code in any form. the thing with open source is that you arent locked to a single provider, so in case godot screw up, you can fork or use one of the forks, while on unity people would have to port their code to another engine wich is way too expensive. since people are free to change the code of any open source project, they can tweak it to fit their own needs, most of godot code was written by volunteers that wrote code to use thenselves and share it to benefit others who also use it.

@HE360 День назад

And these are reasons that I love Godot! I'm making my game with it. It's somebody thought of almost everything that a game developer would need for making a game and they put it into Godot! So, as far as game engines is concerned it's been between Godot and G-Develop!

@LioGoesIndie День назад

My journey as a dev began on January this year and started with Godot. As a humans time and resources are limited, there was a focus on experiencing one engine first and only consider playing with other toys once a certain foundation would have been built. I am sure Unreal is a wonderful engine to work with 👍

@matrbs День назад

I found Unreal Engine to be much more easy to get into due to the vastness of community resources, tutorials, examples etc. It wasn’t hard to get into Godot, but I found it to be less easy than Unreal honestly. BTW I’m ditching Godot for Redot anyway.

@WhenYouGoToZahadoom 22 часа назад

nah man, i finally started to seriously look into game dev 2 weeks ago. Looked for a game engine i will start my journey. Looked even at something like Construct 3, but in the end decided for Godot, even after all pointed to Unity for me, especially after Unity monetization policy changed back ... Started doing tutorials ... Boooom, for some reason godot, an open source software, reveals its political face ... Lucky me, i wasted only about a week on Godot. Short story, I will not use Godot or any fork. It is Unity and it is OK. I agree that a strong free compactor is needed but if it is infested with the same current Zeitgeist (why does it have to be like that???) then I will take the payed mature product instead!

@LioGoesIndie 21 час назад

And that is absolutely fair. Not everyone needs to support or use a free game engine, but a free to use player changes (hopefully improves) how other market participants behave. Using Unity is absolutely fine and a great choice 👍 Wishing you all the best for your beginning journey.

The arguments, and perspective you bring are good and valid, bur the points system you use I find so nonsensical. You keep giving Godot a strong lead in points for merely partially catching up in features or performance to the other two. Sometimes the points you give seem completely unrelated to what you're saying: "Nobody can say what would have happened if Godot hadn't been around" -> +1 for Godot 🤨. How is that an argument for Godot? In general, you give so many points for insignificant or unrelated sentences, that the bell dings, are becoming annoying and distracting. I would rather have them compared on fewer, but more comprehensive arguments. I'd love to see you make more content like this. Just please think it throught more thoroughly if you want to use some metric for comparison. Or leave it out completely if you want to talk in a more free-flowing style.

I fear you misunderstand. This is just a counter how often I say "Godot", "Unity" or "Unreal" as while cutting I noticed I repeat them a lot and thought it would be funny. It has no evaluation behind it. Perhaps the part was missed since it is only said by text and only shown very briefly. But thank you for taking the time for giving me the feedback! I totally understand it out of your perspective and I see that it is somewhat misleading. I didn't think about this (tunnel vision while editing the video)

I hoped godot would have reached the 30s though but it fell short by 2

@anon_y_mousse День назад

I'm still going to recommend Unreal over everything else to anyone who's new to making games. It's still the best game engine. However, as far as open source is concerned, I can no longer recommend Godot because they've decided to politicize it. Censorship is antithetical to open source. If you're curious as to what I will recommend that is open source, then that would be the engine for Doom 3. I'm not sure which idTech version that is, but since the engine has been distributed by Id with the GPL attached, that means you can use it for commercial projects. It won't get any updates, but unless you're doing something super insane, it's more than enough for 99% of developers. If you really need top of the line technology in your engine, then I'll again push you towards Unreal. Of course, there are still plenty of indie games being released that use one of the other Doom engines or one of the Quake engines, which are also all open source, and if you don't need everything that Doom 3 provides, then they may be good enough. In case anyone sees this and is curious enough and knowledgeable enough about the alternatives to ask why not one of them, I'll explain that an engine that's not still being updated is going to be superior to one that is because of both stability and a lack of a controlling force behind it. The Doom and Quake engines are essentially set in stone. You can edit them if you want and/or need to, but because no one is updating and controlling them, you don't have to worry about politicization. This is an issue which affects everyone who makes use of a given project quite negatively, whether they agree with the politics of the controlling organization or not.

@igorgiuseppe1862 День назад

godot had 92% of aproval rate on steam, before the reviewbomb started, so it aways have been good. they screwed up when they mixed politics with it, but you arent locked to then as providers since its open source, any one can copy/modify/distribute under a different brand and earn money from it while giving then 0 cents, for example Redot is another engine based on the same code but without politics bullshit, if you were an godot user you can migrate to redot without losing a single line of code of your project (unlike migrating from unity to another engine, when unity messed up, people had to rewrite their code in other engine in order to migrate) edit: miss spelled rate lol

@igorgiuseppe1862 День назад

@@MasterGyatGooner yes, they are an small company compared to epic or unity, so they cant compete in all fronts. godot code is writen 99% by volunteers who use it and improve it for thenselves, and 1% by paid employees, not because they dont want but because they barely earn enough to hire more full time employees, and yet, the contributors of the paid employees were often on critical parts that not everyone was capable of doing especially for free, it was like a " hire the best programmers from those volunteerd" approacha. it was growing fast especially after unity shoot thenselves in the foot, but now they shoot thenselves... sigh. that said, unreal was to heavy for my computer, and i use unity too, but i want full control of my source code so i gave up on many unity features for my personal projects, and since im not locked to a single provider, i dont regret, they can shot thenselves on the foot and i can just use redot or something, if most of my code was on unity, it would be a pain to change to another engine and port all my code.

I have only been made aware of the stuff going on after uploading through the first comments rolling in. I just updated my pinned comment on top to reflect this. In this light, not knowing about blocking ppl on X or any PR holocausts in general, this video does not reflect any kind of approval for those actions. And I will not get involved in this debate either. After catching up with the news, I decided my channel to be as unpolitical as people wish a game engine would be. The purpose of this channel is to educate and the purpose of the video was to picture the importance of an open source product on the market. If Godot fails, this could be a Redot and if a Redot fails we might get a Greendot, who knows. Point is, a player like this in the market can have a positive effect and I believe this message stays true regardless of which engine can take this spot.
