To be honest, there is a lot of stuff that could work better in Godot. It's not that everything is perfect. But Godot works good enough, and I really like the workflow and productivity. Things seem to make sense and follow basic logic. My main reasons for choosing it were that it worked 100% on Linux and supported HTML5 well. Unreal has somewhat dodgy support on Linux, and they dropped HTML5. Unity does support HTML5, but only on desktop, and their Linux support is also so-so.

If I were making a traditional desktop/mobile game on a Windows dev machine, I likely would not have chosen Godot. Like for a console/PC game, if you use Windows, Unreal is probably a better choice. And Unity is a good all-rounder, even though I think there are some overall issues with the company. But it's a very personal choice, depending on the needs of your project, the platforms supported, your development environment, etc. And that is not going to be the same for anyone.

duane I looked at Haxe years ago but it’s been awhile. Will take another look 👍

TwistedTwigleg The projects I’ve been making haven’t worked out nicely with Godot, but I’m keeping an eye out should a project that fits Godot arises.

You should update the FPS tutorial and lobby to get it back in the official documentation. I learned a lot more about 3D from it than from Squash the Creeps. 😉

I started godot last year too and it has always been like this. But sometimes I searched through Google, editor search help, godotengine, reddit, and this forum only to find out I forgot a dot or something 😆

The engine is getting more and more coverage IMO. I am seeing a lot of 4.0 videos on youtube already which is awesome

UpAllNight Gotdot has become everything that I hate in 'other' modern engines, hence the reason I started using godot last year. I'm sorry, but I feel the devs have went way overboard and complicated stuff more than it should be. Dropping an entity and applying a material to it requires time in google search trying to find some video or, if your lucky, a tutorial.

This has not changed in the 3 years I've been using Godot, even in Godot 4.0. So honestly, this feels like a troll post. I mean, I understand that Godot isn't perfect, but it's actually quite easy to use, and I'd be interested to know what is so complicated for you.

Pixophir It was like 5 persons reported the same problems,

But did they identify the root problem correctly?

I suspect that's the correct question. They wouldn't have bothered to create this topic if they weren't looking for that answer themselves. But I also don't think this is the most effective way of asking that question or solving that problem.

@UpAllNight might need to reiterate the problem and rephrase the question.

Pixophir

cybereality Right, but I didn't go on the Unreal Engine forum and complain.

I did. To no avail 🤷‍♂️

It was like 5 persons reported the same problems, 1 person said "no idea, it works for me". No comment from the makers, so

cybereality I simply uninstalled it, and moved on.

Megalomaniak But did they identify the root problem correctly?

Nope.

Megalomaniak might need to reiterate the problem and rephrase the question.

Yes, pls. After all it is part of coding to break a problem down into chunks one can handle. We can't complete the documentation here & now, but likely someone can answer a clear question.
