9. godot-google-play-billing

   8 4 164 1.7 Java

   Godot Android plugin for the Google Play Billing library

   

   There's no post or pre processing stack. You cannot access world normals, motion vectors, depth buffer and such. You can only access the color, by creating a viewport.

   Multiplatform support sucks. Mobile official plugins are dead [0], the package size is way heavier than Unity, you've got performance problems and nothing can assure your game will even be approved in Google Play. Android dev heavily requires plugins (Admob, Play Games), so unless put your game at a fixed price, you're not accomplishing anything. There's also no console support.

   But wait, the Godot leaders made a company called W4 to fix these issues! They'll bring in console support, official mobile plugins, hosted multiplayer and such. But it's an investor funded company, and they stated that they will sell the stuff. Sooo, the "it's free and open source!!!!" advantage over Unity that everyone loves doesn't seem that great now.

   I could talk all day long about Godot issues. But let's just sum it in "It's just Gimp, if compared to Photoshop". It's NOT a "It's just Blender, if compared to Maya".

   I've lost all hope on the project, it's stil years away from reaching feature parity with, at least, Unity 5. But I hope Bevy does better!

    Also of note, there's an open proposal[0] 'Automatically close old issues in a way everyone should be happy with' attempting to deal with the significant backlog.

14. gdext

    13 13 3,305 9.8 Rust

    Rust bindings for Godot 4

    

    Starting with Godot 4.0, they now support GDExtension which allows you to basically write your own game code in C++ (and other languages), then have the engine import your code: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/g.... There is also a set of Rust bindings that utilize GDExtension too: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext.

    They might be worth looking into.
