I'm sure this will give a boost to Godot development.
It already has. The Godot Developer Fund went up by $4,000 yesterday alone.
Ha, yeah my immediate thought was imagining a situation like:
Godot Developers who have not yet read the news: "Huh. Why do we have 1000 new pull requests today?"
as someone who was reasonably deep with unity, the alternatives really are quite thin - Godot is a big contender or otherwise it's time to pick up some Rust game development
Godot has Rust support with GDextensions
Is Rust a game engine?
I’m familiar with the coding language but I wasn’t aware of any game engine stuff outside of developing your own
Thanks for sharing, I’ll check it out. Games in rust could help that whole endeavor in finding insecurities and whatnot even faster with game hackers and whatnot too
Stride might be worth looking into if you're going for 3D stuff, it uses C#
Ngl, I did visit their site right after reading the news. My next project will be using it. I hope it catches wind with this!
GODOT SQUUUUUUAAAAAD
