What made you prefer Godot over other engines like Unity or Unreal Engine?
It’s lightweight (~350mb after decompression, I’m not fooled by the small executable), fast startup, generates relatively small executables, compiles to several platforms
I’m not learned enough in Unity or UE to make proper equivalent benchmarks to see who makes faster 2D or 3D stuff
GDScript being pretty much syntathically identical to Python makes it simple to learn and understand, which I enjoy. I’ve yet to learn how to use nodes, which I suppose won’t be too different from Blender’s? Don’t know how to mess with those either
Small, lightweight, open source, a large active community, and honestly even gdscript has started to grow on me
Pretty much all this, plus:
- it’s very well made for learning to dev,
- Unity is garbage,
- UE is soooo big.
The thing Godot is lacking is a real good way to work on adaptative music and sound design.
The scene tree based approach just clicked with me well.
