godex VS Godot

I wonder if Godex[0] could be a fit for you. ECS based Godot, based on 3.x which has much more broad WebGL support.

There is usually a few steps how to deal with performance issues before reaching the conclusion "I need ECS", but if you need it then try https://github.com/GodotECS/godex

You might want to check out Godex. It is a Godot extension that introduces an entity/component system. It is not mature yet, but it is under development and seems promising. https://github.com/GodotECS/godex

However, the great thing about godot, is if you want a feature, like ECS, for example just add it yourself.

You can try the fork called Godex, it has ECS built into it and is a lot of fun to use in my opinion.

There is an ECS port for Godot named Godex, but it isn't hugely mature:

I haven't used it, though I've been curious about it. As far as better options for ECS game engines go, I'd go with Bevy (personally), but you'll have to learn Rust (which I'm a proponent of anyway).

But both of these are still in "Beta", if that's even the proper term for their development cycle, at this point. They work, technically, but they could use some help, to my understanding.

If you are talking about this link [0], the person answering is from the Godot team and not Apple.

I don’t think the support depends on distros much, I think the main variable is hardware. If you have a desktop PC bought in the last ~5 years the support should be OK, for the hardware older than that the support is not guaranteed. GeForce GT 730 (launched in 2014) doesn’t support Vulkan, Intel only supports Vulkan on Windows starting from Skylake launched in 2015.

Then there’re quality issues. If you search internets for “Windows Vulkan issue” you’ll find many end users with crashing games, game developers with crashing game engines https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/100807 recommendations to update drivers or disable some Vulkan layers in registry, etc.

On Windows, Vulkan is simply not as reliable as D3D. The reasons include market share, D3D being a requirement to render the desktop, D3D runtime being a part of the OS supported by Microsoft (Vulkan relies solely on GPU vendors), and D3D being older (first version of VK spec released in 2016, D3D11 is from 2009).

Another thing, on Linux, the situation with Vulkan support is less than ideal for mobile and embedded systems. Some embedded ARM SoCs only support GLES 3.1 (which BTW is not too far from D3D 11.0 feature-wise) but not Vulkan.

I personally find Go miles easier than Rust.

Is this the ultimate reason,Go is fast enough without being overally difficult. I'm humbly open to being wrong.

While I'm here, any reason Microsoft isn't sponsoring a solid open source game engine.

Even a bit of support for Godot's C#( help them get it working on web), would be great.

Even better would be a full C# engine with support for web assembly.

Historically, open-source software has played a critical role in democratizing the development process. Platforms like Blender for 3D modeling and Godot Engine for game creation have revolutionized the creative process, offering free and powerful alternatives to proprietary solutions. By integrating these tools, The Sandbox leverages the robustness of community-driven technology and innovative coding practices that have been refined over years of collaborative use. The decision to delve into open source is not merely about cost savings or accessibility—it signals a paradigm shift. By embracing transparency and community input, The Sandbox is setting the stage for new forms of digital ownership and interaction. These practices lead to more secure, adaptable, and innovative gaming experiences that challenge the norms of traditional game development.

Great updates! Specifically .NET 8 as well as Typed Dictionaries with GDScript.

Really hoping we see web export for C# soon. https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/70796

> Godot is a game engine. https://godotengine.org

Yeah, I knew that, and precisely because of that I assumed it's a typo :)

We have a native Python client. We can take a look if it works from Godot. Do you know if this is a popular use case?

finish the Godot4 course and try release a game after that.
