   here's how i majorly appraise a game engine: does the engine's editor actually present custom views for each workflow instead of cramming it into the inspector?
   unity 🚫
   godot 🚫
   unreal ✅

     @dantescanline I don't have a whole lot of experience in game development besides some small projects in unity and learning opengl and ECS, so besides the workflow thing how is Godot in your opinion? I've been really rooting for it to get good enough that it could unity's lunch. It's time major industry infrastructure started to be FOSS in the game industry like most of the rest of the software industry

     @dantescanline that makes sense. Personally when I messed around with Godot (I made a fairly simple game with it) I found it a lot easier to use than Unity but that's probably because Unity is this huge shaggy monolithic monster with a ton of features, whereas Godot is simpler, so maybe if you know Unity better than I do (and that bar is in Hell LMAO) its UX is better

     @anarchopunk_girl features list its pretty strong these days? i think if you are making real low scale 'indie' aesthetic games its by capable compared to unity. the ux fucking sucks, worse than unity, but it also seems quicker and easier in some ways. much easier to make editor tools yourself. it really depends what you wanna do. getting on consoles/mobile is painful everywhere except unity, but if im just making shit to put up on itch i dont care. im not a pro user of godot though!
