Big studios don't care. Small studios often aren't technical enough to understand what that means. Mid sized studios might be scared of change. So the only interest group are single devs, which just often don't bring out a notable product

"Bad" meaning "designed for the programmer's enjoyment Rather than the user's".

Every game should be written in Rust exclusively. No one's gonna decompile it then.

I mean everything is pretty easy to decompile for Unity and Godot.
The nice thing about Godot is that its open source so
I figured if I made a great game I would just fork Godot right before release and add custom obfuscation/encryption that would break the existing reverse engineering tools.

If someone wanted the game they could maybe still figure it out but it would stop the script kiddies/indians/chinese.

Great example of how subjective impression of "games being made with" an engine isn't really useful. Three of the four games you played are big studio titles on proprietary engines and two of those are pre-2023 which was the year of the great Unity fiasco. The only Unity game on the list is Hollow Knight Silksong. Team Cherry was heavily invested in Unity and chose to just suck it up and deal rather than switch, as Mega Crit did with Slay the Spire 2.

Not a godot shill here, I'm agnostic on game engines and the game I'm never finishing uses Odin and Raylib, but what I'm seeing looks like this:

Big studios use in-house engine or Unreal..
Unity remains biggest indie engine but Godot is growing especially in the 2D space.
Gamemaker Studio still has decent share but Godot is chipping away there also.

>>109342849
I can successfully fail to publish a game with any engine, I have tried them all. But for the kind of 2D game I want to make, I don't need a fancy engine. And as far as making progress goes, the login/licensing hoops you need to jump through just to use Unity is a major discouraging factor.

I used it but found out it was infected by trannies, gave up on game development since you never know what they will put in the code. Then I got rich from stocks so I don't have to try to make money any longer. I guess there's the Redot project I could use if I still wanted to make something.

It's dog shit, that's why no one uses it.

>>109341894
Everything that should be trivial to implement has at least three shitty hacks to do it instead of the obvious way. If you report the obvious thing you want to do not working as a bug, they close the issue and tell you to open an "Improvement Proposal" instead. If you open one of those, they tell you to use one of the three official shitty hacks instead. The amount of random, officially developer approved papercuts is fucking annoying.

I think Godot is the best game engine to learn game development with.

I think Unity is faster to pump out games/ asset flip slop so if youre looking to rush out projects its better than Godot in that regard.

Unreal Engine can allow you or a small team to make AAA looking 3d games which no other public engine can do.

Trannies enshittified it and keep using it as a platform for political insertion and propaganda. It seemed promising before, but it's been several years, and it just doesn't hit the mark. There's a reason people are seldom using it for any 'serious' projects. This isn't a case of FOSS being a reasonable and respectable choice over consumer/pro options otherwise, but the alternatives to the FOSS being far better supported, documented, and reliable for a greater range of projects and scalability for larger, experienced dev teams as well. Doesn't mean there cannot be or haven't been successes in projects using Godot, but it comes with too many challenges, too much baggage, and dim look for the future.

I'm enjoying it so far. You can do simple 3d games pretty fast. I'm just a hobbiest, but I don't think I'd recommend it over unity or unreal for professional stuff. The tools and plugins for unreal and unity are way better. I know there's some commercial projects like slay the spire that have done really well. So its definitely possible, but the trade off is you gotta do everything yourself in godot since the godot asset store is pretty small and the engine doesn't give you a ton of features out of the box. That said it's really fast and easy to get started with. It's fun for game jams once you got a grasp on things. I really have to learn the lighting and enviroment stuff.

>>109367573
If you're lacking some general programming knowledge, i'd start with that (if you dont know how to program then you cant make a game despite what people may have told you).
Then you probably just need to learn the very fundamentals of the engine by reading the docs, instead of trying to learn this information through high level tutorials, so read all of this: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/ (or at least the getting started part)

>I can't figure out how to move a sprite left on my own.
every node has a position variable which you can access through the global "position" variable in your godotscript. To move something left you just decrease the x value of its position variable. i.e.

func _process():
    position.x -= 100

this is all explained in the docs & API reference
