This Week in Godot features an epic boss fight, a cat cafe sim, and a top 20 game from GMTK Game Jam 2023.Welcome to another episode of "This Week in Godot" ...
So if one is not very experienced in game engines but likes to tinker and try out a game engine, is Godot something I could check out? I mean, without knowledge of coding.
Yes! To just tinker you’ve got GdScript which is Godot’s built in scripting language similar to Python. I haven’t tried it myself but I hear it’s great for beginners.
I see the word EPIC in a gaming title and my brain immediately goes “OH NO, not them again. What fucked shit are they trying to convince everyone of now?”
It’s almost as if Epic actually does have developers’ and the industry’s best interests at heart despite the shit takes from the terminally-online Gamer™ crowd…
It’s not entirely against their own self-interest. More accessible engines on the market means more beginner devs who may graduate to Epic in a few years, and more products to sell on the EGS. Also more devs potentially means more asset store customers.
Regardless, it’s certainly more helpful to the industry than Unity at the moment.

Not mine but fitting!
Hehe good picture, how disgusting Nintendo is to me, they could put a discount on their older games sometime…
The title is in poor taste all things considered.
I don’t get it, was it changed?
I see the word EPIC in a gaming title and my brain immediately goes “OH NO, not them again. What fucked shit are they trying to convince everyone of now?”
Is Epic taking them to court or such?
Quite the opposite. Epic gave them a $250,000 MegaGrant a few years back.
They even offer Godot through EGS.
