Depot VS godot-sqlite

Depot - Free (as VSCode extension) https://github.com/afterschoolstudio/Depot Adds alot of "extras" to your json (GUID's, ID, CrossReference data) .dpo files can be read as JSON but have a special layout that is interesting.

Just so it's clear, the underlying data type of a depot file is json. The whole depot file is valid json — you could literally even change the extension to json if you didn't want to "support" a different file type and the file would work fine (here's an example file to look at). The only reason it has the default .dpo extension is so that Code knows to use Depot when looking at the file instead of just displaying the raw json text.

Depot (that I use but is exclusive as a plugin for VSCode): https://github.com/afterschoolstudio/Depot

It needs to be ported for 4.1: https://github.com/2shady4u/godot-sqlite/issues/148

https://github.com/2shady4u/godot-sqlite this plugin work correct, see example project

Theres a addon for that, but i dont know if it works on Godot 4: https://github.com/2shady4u/godot-sqlite

I use Godot professionally to develop apps. And it's honestly been a dream. XD There's lots of ways to hook into functionality you need. Especially with Godot's growing extension library. Speaking of which, here's a GD4 extension for SQLite: https://github.com/2shady4u/godot-sqlite/releases/tag/v4.0 :)

i didnt liked is how bloated, in terms of size, becomes exported app if you use sqlite as gdextension. https://github.com/2shady4u/godot-sqlite/issues/72

But I suppose some issues may worth attention before using it, for example https://github.com/2shady4u/godot-sqlite/issues/112 or https://github.com/2shady4u/godot-sqlite/issues/66

As someone making a similar game, I use Godot Sqlite! I wouldn't use it for most stuff in gamedev, but for something like this where most of the data is tabular, it's super super super helpful if you already know SQL (which is a pretty easy transition for me since my day job is data science). Can't recommend it enough if you want to store tables of data.
