the Godot dev team are sadly a bunch of cucks.

the godot discord is full of nerds, powerusers, mods and devs who all weren't given enough wedgies as children. and the coming years of expectations and tide of new users is going to crush, wear, and grind them down like waves on the beach.

they think they are smarter then they actually are. they think the users of their game engine should be smarter then most gamedevs actually are (which is a joke i can make as a gamedev). they are not strong enough for the crown they're expected to wear now. they'll be broken as the obligations of being an actual popular mass used game engine weighs down upon them. they are not ready for this, at this moment

also, i am canonically "rolling"

they see me rolling, they hatin'. they sittin' trying' to catch me ridin' dirty

it's a bit annoying becuase my current project might have to switch engines now.

Panda is quite good for a totally permissive license, although it has a heavy bias towards using its Python API over its C++ API, so could work if you tolerate Python.

I was determined and worked around a lot of the gaps in the C++ API, but no denying that side of its docs is lacking. Also had to roll some coordinate geometry myself (vector, matrix, quarternion) because fetching back transform results from graph nodes tends to segfault (setting them works fine). Am considering turning some of that into engine improvement contributions, if I continue using it enough.

A: who cares?

B: just make a new account and don't troll them about shit other than the game engine, unless you can find a more baased dev team

it wasn't trolling.

their documentation is genuinely garbage and the engine needs 2 to 3 years under a sane development team to become useful for anything.

One of my sons chose Godot for a game he was working on. In fairness, he was new to development at the time and it seemed like he was always struggling to get basic functionality to work.

I suggested he find a working demo of something similar to what he wanted to do and then, incrementally, make it his own, replacing all of the code with his own over time.

Thing is, he could never find a demo that wasn't out of date, with breaking changed having been introduced within the interval from when it was written to the version of Godot he was using.

Newer versions lacked demos at the time of release and the older ones were always broken.

Eventually, he gave up, taught himself C and wrote his own game engine from scratch.

It was easier for him to take that path than figure out that broken pile of OO garbage.

this is a big one, it would be far easier if the devs could just stop changing shit for five minutes becuase they expect you to magically keep up with the changes automatically.

You make a strong case for dropping that piece of garbage.

I had the same problems. Made the switch to GMS and never looked back.

Yeah, godot documentation is kinda wonky. Regardless, you just have to power it through and do some experimenting yourself.

Did you ask for your money back?

Godot sucks anyways. Try GameMaker Studio, it's generally easier to get around and the documentation is miles better.

Quit crying over a free tool that doesn't charge you to release a game you worthless faggot. Boohoo, I started shit in a discord and got banned, better come cry about it here.

Worthless pathetic faggot.

It's open source so you can fork it if you don't like it.
