Godot Engine

Briliant experience as a developer. The scene system is a blessing especially if you're used to OOP. GDScript (the custom scripting language this engine uses) is quite close to Python syntactically. C# is now also supported and there are ways to include C++ code. Since version 3.0 is now released I can recommend this engine for both 2D and 3D projects! I'd like to add that this engine has a pure 2D renderer and a 2D optimized physics system onboard - if you are developing a 2D titel this engine is gold!

Godot is a Game engine that makes Sense, it's stronger in 2D, but can also do a lot in 3D and VR and the built-in IDE with the built-in Documentary makes it very easy to create the bit of programming that's needed once in a while. From the Documentary you can easily conclude on the Source code and the Source Code is relatively expandable if necessary. I started my first Game with a Game Engine with Godot 2.0 alpha for my Bachelor's thesis and never regretted the Decision. If something doesn't suit me about the Game Engine, I'll be actively involved in Development than frustrating, after all, Godot is 100% Opensource.

Product received for free I use it for a little over a year now. Although Godot engine looks promising, the path to travel is still long. He lacks many features, and the engine is still quite unstable. This is still a viable alternative to Unity3D especially if you are doing a 2D game. For 3D, a date is better to stay on your favorite engine, even if Godot engine is making progress, it remains quite recent and it lacks maturity. If you are looking for an alternative to Godot engine, look at unity3D, Unreal engine, but if you are looking for open source, haXe (a bit more crude than Godot) will do a better job.

I use the beta version hosted on the official website of Godot, and I believe it is one of the most potential gaming engines. In my opinion, Godot has the same power level that unity possesses, but with the ease of game maker. However, his philosophy does not match either one or the other. Godot has as much a powerful 2D engine as game maker as 3D as unity. By the way, the latter does not have a real 2D mode as such: it is only 3D, but flattened. Question of money, Godot costs less than game maker (about 100% difference) and does not demand a fee according to the number of copies sold that unity imposes. The reason is that Godot is open source and free, a bit like Blender, GIMP and I go. I only have two worries with Godot: 1. it's hard to know where to start without looking at tutorials. Fortunately, there are free on YouTube and paid on sites like Udemy. 2. the software documentation is incomplete and lacks some information in some places. On the other hand, I had read that from version 2.0 to 3.0, they rose from 30% to 70% content. To conclude, if you want to start developing games and looking for a program to use, I recommend Godot. If you're tired of being on game maker or unity, why not try Godot?
