This is the game engine thread
| Visual programming is the way of the future, g/u/rl. Everything that isn't actual game logic/physics/etc. is a pain to do in code.
| From what I hear Godot's 3D rendering isn't that good. I would still like to give it a try tho.

In its current state Godot is better used for 2D, imo. But I am also slightly biased towards preferring 2D games, so take it with a grain of salt.

Ugh, I dunno. I just think it's a pain having to move things around in the editor. Even when programming the UI, I feel much more comfortable messing around with the numbers and calculation in the code than having to place things with my mouse.
| I use Unity to make my games rn and yet I load all the levels in code instead of using Scenes :p
Yes, I'll prly be fine just using love2D, but Unity have a couple quality of life features such as sprite slicing and prefabs. I hate putting pre-defined objects in code so prefabs help a lot. And Unity has a neat Transform system that I don't think the freeware 2D engines have.
Also.. profiling anyone?
| but really, the reason to use Unity is because of 3D.
| like i use polyplex engine for Dlang its pretty ok
| I really like Godot, but to be fair I haven't used that many engines. A little bit of Unity, a game in GMS2 and just a tiny game in Godot. I still prefer Godot over the other two by, like, a lot though. It's just much more comfy and straight forward. I can just write what I want it to do instead of using unnecessarily long lines with a bunch of symbols and codewords and shit. It's just, like, "please do this" and it kinda does it.
| Godot is imo the best engine for 2D, it's making big progress with improving its 3D but still doesn't really compete with unreal or unity.
But if I ever wanna make a 2d game I use godot.
| i think we can all agree that rpgmaker mv is the best game engine
| Clearly we should all rip the Fallout 3 engine. It's good enough for Bethesda, right? /s

| I'm preemptively making this thread so y'all who want to yell about game engines can do it here instead of hijacking the Itch.io Bundle Gems thread.
Personally I find anything with visual programming frustrating, so I vastly preferred Love2d, DragonRuby, and RenPy over, say, Unity or Godot.
