Godot wants to thank Unity Technologies for it’s generous support
- Einar ( @original_reader@lemm.ee ) 51•1 year ago
TIL Godot is on Steam. Huh, will you look at that.

What does that even mean? People using gui tools?

What’s GODOT?
- learningduck ( @learningduck@programming.dev ) 26•1 year ago
It’s an open source game engine. People tend to consider it as a replacement for Unity when it come to 2D game development.

hey it’s 3d is pretty decent too!
you won’t be making aaa games with it anytime soon but it’s really good for 99% of tasks - Piers ( @Piers@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year ago
For indie game development in general as of Godot 4.

While the numbers themselves are just a small fraction of actual usage (as I guess most people using it don’t do it thru steam), it doubled in about a week.
What would be an “educated” guess of steam/non-steam users ratio? 1:50? 1:100?

Awesome- hopefully more money will get put into the development fund as well. It is rather small yet.

What is Godot?
- deaf_fish ( @deaf_fish@lemm.ee ) 9•1 year ago
It’s a free and open source game engine a bit like Unity. https://godotengine.org/
I use it and I think it is quite nice.
- OtakuAltair ( @OtakuAltair@lemm.ee ) English3•1 year ago
Is there any reason to install it via steam and not just via the official site?
- Doods ( @Doods@infosec.pub ) 2•1 year ago
Maybe auto updates?
- leprasmurf ( @leprasmurf@lemmy.geekforbes.com ) 1•1 year ago
I don’t use the Steam version because it locks my steam library when I’m coding.
- edit: yeah, that update thing @MJBrune@beehaw.org mentions too 😀
- ivanafterall ( @ivanafterall@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
It increased.
- cloud ( @cloud@lazysoci.al ) 1•1 year ago
Godot is free and open source Steam is not. Learn the difference. Steam is just as Unity if not worst.
- dumdum666 ( @dumdum666@kbin.social ) 16•1 year ago
Why would Steam be worse than Unity? You are mixing things together. Steam Hosts FOSS for free as far as I know - how is this a bad thing in your eyes?

Unity is a game engine, Steam is some bullshit market place that locks other software behind all sort of junk like drm. As far as i know Unity doesn’t promote gambling to kids
- dumdum666 ( @dumdum666@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
Well… don’t use Steam then.

Install some freemium game that’s using Unity ads and be prepared to get inundated by gambling ads
