The title is in poor taste all things considered.

Is Epic taking them to court or such?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Quite the opposite. Epic gave them a $250,000 MegaGrant a few years back.

They even offer Godot through EGS.

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...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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.

Mozilla's primary revenue is from Google, because Google doesn't want Chrome to be broken up by the FTC. Same reason Microsoft kept Apple afloat in the dark times before Jobs returned.

I don't get it, was it changed?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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?"

Hehe good picture, how disgusting Nintendo is to me, they could put a discount on their older games sometime...

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

This is the first time I've heard the apparently canonical pronunciation of Godot, and I hate it.
