Also, I recently have been learning the Godot Engine and I have to say, GDScript is way easier to learn than I thought it would be.

probably because the rest of them don't really market themselves at all, and typically only exist for in-house projects with some of them allowing other people to use them. then there's also not-really-game-engines like some html5 frameworks and such. some other notable engines for anyone reading this though would be love2d (which uses lua), and renpy (for visual novels). i can't really think of any notable 3d engines that aren't godot, unreal, or unity. you can do 3d in gamemaker, but it's definitely not recommended, especially because you have to implement your own model importing, code to turn that into something that can render, and then if you wanna actually do the making a game part, you'd need to spin up your own 3d editor too. then some less notable ones but definitely do exist... torque3d/torque2d, superpowers and it's predecessor craft studio, serious engine 1 (2 and so on are not available to the public), source 1 (2 not available to the public) these are either very out of date, or are otherwise lacking enough features that it's not really worth using them

Thanks for the video Simon! Godot is all the great things Unity used to be. It's simple, easy to get into and developer friendly. I think Unity is the most shameful engine ever that has now reached a point where they are spitting every developer to the face but also has branched on so many parts that is worse than Unreal for 3D games and worse than Godot for development. I think Godot is the best option for any indie dev looking to make a game right now, and I can only see the engine improving with time.
thanks for the comment, majestic wizard cat!!! and yeah absolutely!!! im honestly scared for people using unity, cause i don't believe they won't try to pull of something like this again. (^～^;)ゞ the first time they did it to me last year, i was sooo disappointed and done, it was horrifying. this looming threat just does not exist in the comfort of the godot engine.
@@SimonHytte Yeah, I had a similar feeling last year. It actually stoped me from developing a game I was working on to figure out where to go next. Really hard to trust these guys again... I wish you good luck with the development of your game and hope you can share more with us!
I think you shouldn't pick and engine just because, not being good at coding or so... knowing about coding its absolutely needed for making games, there is not other way... even if some engines makes coding easy, that has serious consequences in performance and scalability.. which is ok for simplest games, but.. in the future you will aim for biggest games that requires strong coding skills.
i agree!!! there are a lot of faucets of game development that need to be considered and coding is the train everything else rides on. ^•ᴥ•^ I do think the engine choice should reflect you as a person, and what your strengths and weakness are though. Like legit choosing gamemaker for people who don't like to code is a nice way to simplify this part, same with the project scope & game genre. Should you be making a MMO RPG if you don't even like to code? the answer is no i think. if you need an example of this in practice, undertale for example has spaghetti code that runs on gamemaker hahaha. so to simplify my answer, choose engine & games based on what u like doing, or maybe invite someone else to fill in that weakness of yours. Nobody is perfect in everything and I think that's why indie games are awesome. but that's just a mere dog's opinion ≧◠ᴥ◠≦
@@SimonHytteThat's a good advice, I usually use Godot for simple or graphically neat games, but I use golang with ebiten framework when I want to make a game with complex code with packages
What the... It feels like you didn't answer the question of which engine you're going to use. Even in the chapter called "Which engine I'm going to use?", you just say "We started with Unity, buy they're going bad places. Godot is nice but has indie/early adopter's issues. RPGM and Game maker are valid if you don't like coding too much". That just sounds like more general points. Was one of them meant to tell us which one was/is right for you?
heyyy black platypus!!! I'm sorryyyy if it wasn't clear in the video hahaha (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) decided to go with godot in the end, cause I feel like it fits the project well. As I mentioned it has its upsides and downsides, namely it's a bit goofy since it's open source. I think overall as a package it's a good choice. I also agree that not everything in the video is expanded as it could have been.
@@SimonHytte Ah, thank you! Yes, I'll be keeping my eye on Godot. It's interesting to know which trade-offs are worth it to developers, so I really wanted to know what your bottom line was :) No, I think the video over all is great, it just felt weird like it was missing the main answer :P
godot is the worst thing to happen to indie game dev ever. I saw it almost kill my project (one that now is my living) and my will to learn how to code. not ever knowing if you are doing something wrong or is a obscure bug on the engine itself is the worse.
i had an allergic cold when i was rerecoding some parts, hope its not too noticeable!!! (╥ᴗ╥)

heyyy black platypus!!! I'm sorryyyy if it wasn't clear in the video hahaha (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) decided to go with godot in the end, cause I feel like it fits the project well. As I mentioned it has its upsides and downsides, namely it's a bit goofy since it's open source. I think overall as a package it's a good choice. I also agree that not everything in the video is expanded as it could have been.
@@SimonHytte Ah, thank you!
Yes, I'll be keeping my eye on Godot.
It's interesting to know which trade-offs are worth it to developers, so I really wanted to know what your bottom line was :)
No, I think the video over all is great, it just felt weird like it was missing the main answer :P
What the dog doing
what the cybermaj doing? (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

godot is the worst thing to happen to indie game dev ever. I saw it almost kill my project (one that now is my living) and my will to learn how to code.
not ever knowing if you are doing something wrong or is a obscure bug on the engine itself is the worse.
