Freetards Jubilate as Game Engine Inferior to Unity Releases Its Fourth Horrendous Iteration: Part 2!

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/releases/tag/4.0-stable

As you may or may not know, the Godot Engine is a game engine created for and by people too incompetent, stupid or brainless to use a real engine like Unreal Engine 4 or LOVE2D with the ' BoiPushy' library.

And while it may have been created to entertain the manchild fantasy of one day creating your own videogame, in practice Godot is almost never used to produce any actual sizable videogames, and is almost certainly used by 30+ amateur game devcels with nothing else going on in their lives who really should have graduated to the Grown Man Equivalent of the game dev fantasy, creating your own programming language and kernel. But sadly, due to the IQ bell curve and other environmental factors such as Neurotoxic SocMedia.

At the very least, it can be stated that the Godotcel is more of a man than the Rustean, which needs to import a library called 'is-odd' in order to evaluate whether or not a number is odd. Nor are they as pathetic as the BSDcels, whom cling on to their sinking operating system like a rat at sea in an ocean of torment and obscurity. At least. But are these things really achievements worth caring about?

the best way to make godotcels seethe is to ask them how many commercial games have been released using it

importing a library to check if a number is odd

I know really, how hard is it to write:

public static boolean isOdd(int num) {
     if(x < 0) {
          return isOdd(num * -1);
     } else if(num % 2 == 0) {
          return false;
     } else if(num % 2 == 1) {
          return true;
     }
}

The biggest is the Sonic Colors remaster. As typical, the corporation just stole the FOSS code and slapped their own name on it. They then failed to put a line in the ATTRIBUTION.txt file, meaning they had to admit their fancy "Blind Squirrel Engine" (probably all over their sales deck) was just Godot with some stuff stuck on.

4.0 requires you have have a fricking graphics card or it shits all over itself, even if you are making a game that doesn't use 3D at all.

3.X works but is missing shit that'd make it way more convenient and is only in 4.0 with no plans of importing it into 3.X. As a 2D engine it beats the shit out of Gamemaker, which in spite of being butt now forces you to use a subscription model if you want to dev on it.

But Gamemaker has shit like Undertale to it's name.

For Godot, afaik Cruelty Squad is the only game of note released on it

It's legit butt to actually complete a game with. Unity and Unreal have way more support and tons of games out, and those engines had far more games released in their first 10 years unlike Godot. Fricking Pizza Tower was just made using GameMaker Studio and it blows anything made by the supposed "best for 2d engine" in Godot out of the water.

But it is useful for making regular desktop apps.

Anyway, I like Godot 4, tilemaps are great and GDscript is brainlet compatible :marseygigaretard:

Maybe they could focus on 2D the slightest bit instead of trying to compete with unreal. :taysmart:

Godot got a lot of positive sentiment when Unity merged with an adware company and bet on blockchain gaming

But it doesn't seem like they've been able to do much with that sentiment so far

Yes instead it gives priority to a stripped down version of python with worse documentation because apparently what filters gamedev noobs is the syntax and not Godot's clusterfrick of nodes and signals that they're encouraged to use giant goddarn singletons to keep track of.

Why not just use Lua or Python? Oh that's Juanito needed to make his own language just so they could waste time taking 7 years to add features like lambas to it.

Blender eventually became usable software and the same is happening here.

I can only assume godot makes people irrationally mad for the same reason.

Guidelines:

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.

Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!

In Submissions

Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.

Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.

Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA

If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.

If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.

Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"

Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.

If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.

Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.

If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.

Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.

Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.

In Comments

Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.

Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"

Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.

Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.

Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.

Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.

Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.

Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.

Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.

Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.

Please use uppercase for emphasis.

Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.

Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.

Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.

Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.

Miscellaneous:

We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
