Look, I code websites and apps and I know nothing about game dev. I dabble. But I don’t see any reason why an informed indie dev or studio would choose Unity over Godot at this point after what they tried to pull a few years ago.
Unreal is a different beast, but the versatility of Godot has been proven at this point and is on full display in this showcase, and from my uneducated standpoint seems to hold its own vs Unity’s offerings.
Unity has a store with a ton of useful user made libraries, frameworks and utilities most of which are generally not worth the time spent implementing it yourself when you can get the thing for something like 20 bucks.
Also, for gamedev shops which already have a lot of Unity experience in-house, it’s probably worth it to stay with Unity, though Unity so frequently changes their engine is profound ways, that existing Unity experience is less valuable than otherwise.
Yee, I got to play Bloodthief’s demo at a Steam Next Fest this year. I also spotted Bombun there as well, which I didn’t know was Godot. Last year’s also had PVKK, which caught my eye.
That looks pretty versatile. I guess people are still wary of unity after they shit the bed a couple of years back? This seems like a plausible alternative.

That’s mainly it.
That’s an impressive showcase. Only game I was aware of before was Bloodthief. Will check out some of the others.
Bloodthief is great btw.
Yee, I got to play Bloodthief’s demo at a Steam Next Fest this year. I also spotted Bombun there as well, which I didn’t know was Godot. Last year’s also had PVKK, which caught my eye.
These look great, I love the diversity of art styles on display here.
The title “The Adventures of Gary Pretzelneck” cracked me up. :D
