10 Reasons to Try Godot over Unity Game Engine
Had a chance to revisit the Godot engine (now in it's version 3.1) and I have these things to say about it. For lightweight indie games on a budget, it may be the right pick depending on your preferences.
10 Reasons to Try Godot over Unity
- Runs and loads very fast on slower computers.
- 2D and 3D Engines are seperate rather than pseudo 2d in 3d. Never need to worry about Z axis or Quarternions if
building a 2D game. 2D space is based on pixels across the screen which makes more sense. - Fully supported on Linux.
- Free forever, no fees
- Intuitive scene building. Everything can be broken into it's own seperate scene (similar in some ways to like a unity prefab).
You can create instances and jump into referenced scenes by double clicking. Very easy to put scenes within scenes to build a game world. - Can make changes to scripts while game is testing, even if debugging on mobile device.
- Godot's UI is nicer than unity's free UI. For some reason, you have to pay to upgrade to have a dark theme in Unity. The default gray UI is ugly.
- Godot has a very nice animation system. You can animate every property with keyframing from within the editor and it runs very smoothly.
- Built in Reference
- Dynamically typed GDScript (similar to Python but has advantages over Lua / Python specifically for making games in the engine) and support
for 3 other languages. I'm more comfortable with statically typed C# but a lot of people swear that Python is their favorite language to use
so many may prefer the way GDScript works.
Bonus: Super fun 2D Particle system

Nice channel idea :) I personally do not like 2D games, just the old ones, but that is a personal thing. Cool to see such content around here.
DO you also post on youtube?
