Godot Alternatives

• (Serious) What in your life do you desperately feel you need advice on?

  Make an app game with the Godot Engine and learn what you need to do to launch it on an app store or a website. You aren't too young to do that and it isn't that hard. What's hard is doing it really well and that takes practice.

• Building a Roguelike Game with TypeScript
  dev.to | 2021-09-25

  So I'm still decided to learn Unity and do a project with it. However, my C# knowledge is close to nil 😛. I've known about Phaser for a few years now, and stayed away from it for multiple reasons, the main one being that there really isn't a big community, compared to other engines like Unity or Godot. But currently, it's almost fully compatible with Typescript, which in my head, is acting like a stepping stone to C#. So I went it it.

• How to get floating game window with i3wm on linux?

  Check this issue I created about it https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/52989

• Are we supposed to be able to export to all 3 PC platforms from any single platform?
  reddit.com/r/godot | 2021-09-24

  Mac or Linux is needed for a properly executable Linux build. A Linux build exported from Windows requires setting the missing -x flag manually. Fun fact: this is a known issue since 2014.

• Stop AnimatedSprite from switching to SpriteFrames editor when being clicked on?

  I would recommend to report your case on Github so it is documented and can be fixed.

• Software to make a simple app
  reddit.com/r/tabletopgamedesign | 2021-09-24

  https://godotengine.org/ (/r/godot). Supports Android and iOS and various desktop systems. Easy to learn, low on resource waste, 100% free, nice built-in scripting language and GUI toolkit. I used it for a tool for playtesting a boardgame (it was not a game that would need an app to play, but it was useful to have one for testing) and it was great to work with.

  Thanks! Could you file a bug report on https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues so that we can debug with our Android contributors?

• Do I need a Linux distribution to install LÖVE?
  reddit.com/r/love2d | 2021-09-20

  You also have a fully working Linux environment that can run other GUI applications as well, including more advanced text editors, so you can even make your own games if you like. Plus access to other game engines like Godot and Lua-based fantasy consoles like TIC-80 in addition to love2d.

• Good programs for young teens?
  reddit.com/r/GirlGamers | 2021-09-19

  Godot and Gamemaker Studio 2 are both very simple programs that do not require coding. I believe Godot is free and GMS2 is free until you want to publish a game. GMS2 also has the option to code once you feel comfortable enough with the drag-and-drop system.

  Btw, Godot 4.0 will have pixel snap enabled by default.

• Someone put a bad review because he hates Godot. Play 0.1h and tells lies about mechanics that don't exists on the game :(
  reddit.com/r/godot | 2021-09-17

  Godot does have polygon2d semi-usable for art already (if you keep it simple, the editors are a bit lacking) and 4.0 has the clip_children option that will make polygonal art easier and more powerful, but it's currently broken and won't be fixed until later in 4.0's development. And 2D MSAA still needs to be added as well.
