The entry threshold is much, much lower. GDevelop does not require programming knowledge. There are a lot of preset behaviors with which you can create the basis of the game in just minutes.
If you want to try game development GDevelop is a good option to start.
Yeah I'm trying to do the same thing. I want to actually learn how to code, and Godot runs more faster and has more features. Gdevelop is kinda slow on my computer
