Wow that’s such a great and in-depth reply, thank you Game Professor! I have recently switched to Godot from Unity and I must say it’s much easier to make a 2D game in Godot so far, so I’m in total agreement.
I’m not surprised by unreal’s push and use in AAA development so I see that as probably the main player in future as well as proprietary engines.
For me, Godot is exciting to use as I can get things up and running much quicker in it for 2D than Unity. It keeps me coming back. With Godot having less tutorials this also keeps me from staying in tutorial hell so I think my programming skills are improving more quickly
I was interested in using Gamemaker but I also want to become a better programmer and saw that as possibly teaching me bad habits. As well as it’s future looks shaky.
Thank you again!
