Free/opensource tools are so great and surprisingly powerful.

Why? The engine is still great, it's still open source, the behaviors of one community manager doesn't reflect the engine at all. Don't be sensationalistic lol
Hi @PirateSoftware Thor, was wondering about your thoughts on the recent Godot forum situation, during which the Community Manager of one of their forums had a history of using racial slurs was banning people for being bigoted, when those banned people were mostly simply disagreeing with the Community Manager’s views. Godot then issued an ambivalent apology and disabled all responses to said letter. I’m wondering: Do you think this will affect the Godot engine’s development and improvement? I’m asking this because, as a 45-year-old, I’ve finally gotten off my ass to pursue a childhood dream to try to develop and publish a game. While re-learning programming, I looked at engines and liked Godot for its approachability and growing trends and open source status. I would just like to maximally smoothen my “path” so I’m less likely to drop the effort, as I’m no longer young. Thank you.
In my opinion, it's an open source engine, the community manager and anyone associated with the engine have nothing to do with the tool itself. There are thousands of contributors, a lot of them are great people. You can even change anything about it you'd like. The game dev community in general typically pretty progressive, as am I, but the community manager absolutely went too far.
@@TurtleTracks-g1r Thank you; yeah as am I. I just don’t want the development to stop, you know? I’m old-ish (45), don’t have lots of time to learn completely new things… Thanks for your comment. Sounds positive.

@@akk9196 The government. Despite what you might think, there is more to people than the place they were born in and not everyone blindly supports the government of their country. Civillians are NOT collectively guilty of everything the military and the leaders of the country do. This is true for Iran, Russia, Israel, Palestine and every damn country in the world.
Sanctions against the people of Iran is just a double punishment after they're already occupied by an Islamist regime. I wish there was a way to actually help them 😞
Look nobody likes to count those who support the regime and the government because being either stupid or paid by the government, i know I don't. But sadly they still make one third or half of the iran population
And the worst thing is that it doesn't punish the regime as most of them have green cards and citizenship but they would punish us people who can not do anything 😢
When a country is sanctioned it means any business based in the United States can’t do business with them, depending on the severity this can be “you can’t work with the state” or “you can’t work or sell to anyone in the country”
I believe it's countries such as the US imposing sanctions, disallowing business to have a footprint in the country. This would include Unity and UE5 because they are part of those companies's footprint
It means, in a simplified way, they're not allowed to import certain products from someone who participates in the sanction. Apparently it covers certain programming software as well 🤷♂️
@@NoName......I'm pretty sure that I have never had to agree to any ToS, so they can't do anything like change the ToS to state that I need to pay them for however many installs they think my game has. If they introduce that, I think I can still use the last version before such a change. I don't see how they could feasibly rugpull. There is a licence involved, but I don't know if they can retroactively change that.
If they want even more motivation, Nasir Gebelli was from Iran before getting hired to do programming for Square. He lived in Japan for about 5 years, working on every Final Fantasy game on the Famicom and Secret of Mana. His visa expired in the middle of the development of Secret of Mana and had to do the rest of the programming remote. This was back in 1992.
It's not that we just don't like them they're an Islamic fundamentalist oligarchy that has undone all of the equal rights movements the Persian people had under the Shah from the 50s-70s before the Ayatollah seized power it was one of the only Middle Eastern countries where women could walk around unveiled and attend college 🤦🤦🤦 They done fucked up royally and now they need to be taught a lesson don't bite the hand that feeds
Iran's occupying regime is directly responsible for close to a million dead in multiple conflicts they're sponsoring (mostly Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza), it's not just "we don't like them" It is true though that these sanctions mostly hurt the people (very same people oppressed by their occupiers) and not the government...

There's also learning a language like C. I was super confused trying to work within Unity's framework, whereas C is much simpler. That simplicity means you have to build more yourself, but it also helps you understand everything under the hood.

@@Lord-of-The-West-Weald it doesn't teach the higher ups anything. Only further punishes the people that are already punished by those higher ups
Thor so wise he just hits back with advice immediately, he doesn’t even need to think
Wait, how does the sanctions work? Do the countries SPECIFICALLY ban the intent to learn Unity and Unreal? and Game Maker is ok?
They're economic sanctions not information sanctions. Code can pass between US to Iran, but money cannot.
When a country is sanctioned it means any business based in the United States can’t do business with them, depending on the severity this can be “you can’t work with the state” or “you can’t work or sell to anyone in the country”
No, not the countries, I think it's the Devs themselves.
I believe it's countries such as the US imposing sanctions, disallowing business to have a footprint in the country. This would include Unity and UE5 because they are part of those companies's footprint
It means, in a simplified way, they're not allowed to import certain products from someone who participates in the sanction. Apparently it covers certain programming software as well 🤷♂️
Godot can never rugpull you. Godot is great, and will remain great.
They could absolutely rugpull you. They just choose not to do it
@@NoName......I'm pretty sure that I have never had to agree to any ToS, so they can't do anything like change the ToS to state that I need to pay them for however many installs they think my game has. If they introduce that, I think I can still use the last version before such a change. I don't see how they could feasibly rugpull.
There is a licence involved, but I don't know if they can retroactively change that.
@@NoName......are you just being contrarian or do you actually believe that a Free Open Source Software can be rugpulled?
and the engine itself literally can run on an Android
and on web
If they want even more motivation, Nasir Gebelli was from Iran before getting hired to do programming for Square. He lived in Japan for about 5 years, working on every Final Fantasy game on the Famicom and Secret of Mana. His visa expired in the middle of the development of Secret of Mana and had to do the rest of the programming remote. This was back in 1992.
Too bad the Godot community is so toxic.
I love Godot and the existential Samuel Beckett play that the name is probably based on
Maybe we shouldn't place crippling sanctions on countries we dont like 🙃
Yeah and let them money laundering? Of course very logic
@@reiniermoreno1653 wth are you talking about. We were just selling oil ( and making atomic bombs "cough" )
@@ahmadrhero don't forget financing some [unfriendly] groups that like to sell [funny]cotics in the US and [unspawn] people in their country
It's not that we just don't like them they're an Islamic fundamentalist oligarchy that has undone all of the equal rights movements the Persian people had under the Shah from the 50s-70s before the Ayatollah seized power it was one of the only Middle Eastern countries where women could walk around unveiled and attend college 🤦🤦🤦
They done fucked up royally and now they need to be taught a lesson don't bite the hand that feeds
Iran's occupying regime is directly responsible for close to a million dead in multiple conflicts they're sponsoring (mostly Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza), it's not just "we don't like them"
It is true though that these sanctions mostly hurt the people (very same people oppressed by their occupiers) and not the government...
Ive never wanted to make games, just come up with silly little ideas for them...until this man made me feel like its actually accessable
Why are senctions stoping people from learning, that's ridiculous
They're not, people are just lazy
They can't buy or download the software
@@grimdagoblinmain I get not being able to download certain software or access some services. But a lot of learning material is free. How can they not access it.
@Brave_Falmingo a person who can't buy a car could read the driving manual
But wouldnt be able to use that knowledge
@@Zakibey123 oh, Never thought it that way. My bad. Always thought there won't be problem access unreal or unity since they are free to access anyways similar to Godot.
lets not forget it has a massive ammount of plugins to help fix the lackluster parts of it (including box2d and jolt for the 2d and 3d physics)
My burning hatred for the ayatollah grows every time I am reminded of the potential of the Iranian people.
And do you have the same hate when US army help the horrible dictator in Chile, Nicaragua, Congo... Or it was justified because it was our butcher who torture and prevent freedom?
@@pierregravel-primeau702 no, see, we're consistent with hating tyrants unlike you who somehow needs to bring up other stuff when we complain about one thing.
Preach 🙌@@Soapy-chan
Fr fr 😢
@@pierregravel-primeau702Yes, we do. Stop being a Campist. You don't have an issue with dictatorships, you love the Eastern ones 😂
*Slow Clap*
Honestly, the wholesome real solutions you give is appreciated- especially on this platform. My honest thanks.
Godot is the Blender of game engines
That was a hard question. Props on the effortless answer.
Motivational landmine to stop my doomscrolling worked, imma go to bed
My Iranian friend has written Vanda Engine, in Iran. Godot is a useful option. There isn't barrier to developing software in Iran.
Godot compiles faster than unity opens a new project XDD
Huh. Explains why those two blokes spent so long waiting for it.
Tectone on the Civil war, “I’m sure there was radio or something…”
Until I ran into this video I said "Godot" like "Go-dot" 😂
Thor! You are the man! I am a PDLE(Production Design Liaison Engineer). I work in Aerospace and Defense and with many different groups all over the globe. There are regular conventions about how to work well and be well and honestly, in my personal experience, your conventional and seemingly obvious but elusive wisdom, until stated, is head and shoulders above what those things provide and you do it in a matter of SECONDS my man! You have many gifts, I appreciate this one the most. Thank you, Thor, for your efforts and your consideration.
This guy brings me hope that I can model due to his inspirational talks. Love this channel a lot.
Wonderwoman really branching out from DC
this made me lean towards the monitor, the algorithm is breaching my space
Bro really just said ”modify the engine” like its as easy as breathing
It’s literally impossible to dislike this man.
I'm loving how respectful and real he is. I don't personally live in Iran and I know it has its very share of spotlight in the news but he's very respectful about it and attends to the questioners needs and doesn't shame them for something they can't control. Unfortunately the same can't be said about other streamers... Love you more and more Thor and the community.
Fun Fact: The Godot editor can be opened as a Godot project.
Thor always be inspiring people when that song comes on😭
There are 2 updates to the story with the Single Mother with the Daughter story, she posted on reddit with the latest update basically talking about how things have wrapped up.
Thor spits knowledge off the top of his head, that would take me an hour to google, read, remember correctly and then repeat. Absolute legend💯
This is heart warming.
as an iranian interested in game dev as my ultimate life goal this is the most support iranian game developers will ever get through their entire life time.
Honestly I don’t understand half of what this guy says but I always find it interesting and informative lol. Keep up the great work sir
I came across one of your shorts a while back. Instantly subscribed. Astounded by everything there after. Now, I thumbs up your shorts and I don’t even have to see it. I already know it’s remarkable ❤
There's also learning a language like C. I was super confused trying to work within Unity's framework, whereas C is much simpler. That simplicity means you have to build more yourself, but it also helps you understand everything under the hood.
Also, Godot got a huge amount of traction when the Unity people had their bonehead moment, recently.
