its unreal how unity between developers can result in projects like this
Hehehe
S-tier
AHHHH
Throw all their projects in a Blender and it's a game engine smoothie.
Godot is fueled by the Love of the open source community. All the new features are a Game Maker for the future. And some how they avoided a Coco bongo mess.
After what Unity did, it's time for Godot.
I'm really torn atm, started with Unity about 6-9 months ago and i really like it.
but with these news i wonder if i should switch now before i get deeper into Unity and they come up with more BS...
@@christianstachl You should switch. Never underestimate the value of a company/institution that cares about its customers.
@@christianstachl switch before you waste more time on Unity. They're counting on developers staying because of how much time they already spent learning it
10 years from now: godot fees 💀💀💀💀💀
@@christianstachl Hardly the same situation, but I spent the last month nonstop starting to understand Unity and working on the beginning of a demo, and was currently bugfixing something when I heard the news dropped. I think switching is the only correct course of action, it's clear to me that they'll penny pinch their customers in any way they can get away with, and without serious pushback to unroll it every single time, these will only get more brutal. Their initial plan was to charge developers per download, and despite the outrage, it only got slightly reduced. I've heard a few stories of this one change making Indie developers instantly unprofitable. So despite my work, I'm retooling and getting out
Shoutout to Unity for sending all of us back to this video
From a web developer that uses Godot on the spare time:
- Nodes are like HTML elements: minimal in features and rarely used without combining them to other nodes.
- Scenes are like frontend frameworks components: group several nodes and logic together to make a more complex behaviour, and then instance this scene multiple times as single custom nodes.
- Signals are like event listeners: you connect node signals to trigger specific function callbacks.
- Everything in the project is text-based (including scenes and resources): this is great for VCS diffs and refactoring.
- UI themes cascade like in CSS: themes can be set on parent UI controls and overridden on children.
Now you have convinced me to try out godot rn
This is such a good comparison, to get an idea how godot works!
I’m a godot dev and I wanna understand html/css lol. This might help
This comment has helped more than an 30 of documentation.
Love this, thanks for summarizing it in terms I understand!
Who's here, because of Unity's "interesting" changes?
Yep!

Now that even Fireship made a video about Godot, you can tell it's gonna grow exponentially more and more popular.
I hope so. Godot needs more love. Its biggest weakness compared to Unity and Unreal is the lack of free quality assets for developers to quickly build a prototype. Unity has this fully rigged and animated robot character for free. Godot doesn't. Unity offers to quickly build a whole map with free assets. Godot doesn't. With Godot, you only have the editor and engine. For newcomers, this is a big letdown. Of course, for professionals, it's not an issue at all since they already have their own assets.
@@gokudomatic GDQuest provide a ton of assets for Godot, including courses, full scenes and models and an entire app focused on teaching GDScript
@@gokudomatic You can take animated characters from mixamo
Fireship is to programming languages/frameworks/tools what Elon Musk is to shitcoins. Except without the part where everyone else loses a lot of money.
@@gokudomatic Godot's doc is very thorough and beginner friendly. Having started with unity, understanding the doc was a chore. Godot's doc is full of insights and other useful informations, it has to be considered a ressource on its own right.
This game engine deserves more love.
it truly does.
Eh. Interperted languages aren't the way to go for game dev imho
@@hwstar9416 sadly this keeps away many people, but gdscript is interpreted only in the engine. When you build your project Gdscript gets compiled
@@hwstar9416 Gdscript is compiled in exported builds
@@gducrash still, the high-level language being interperted takes away control from the developer to apply thorough optimizations
The amount of useful languages I have learnt from this channel that didn't know they existed is too damn high. Lifetime Pro was worth it for supporting Jeff.
@@igorthelight For those tasks I prefer node to be honest.
@@igorthelight bash
@@igorthelight too much fighting to not use python
@@alimertc Ha-ha!
I use Python ;-) That's just a weird feature of Godot that most people don't know at all!
Let's say you use Godot frequently and want to experiment - use it as your scripting language xD
Just in case you're a game dev... just saying...
Godot is truly magical. The UI system is one of the best features and can literally serve as a widget toolkit for desktop apps. Did you know that Godot's Editor is written in Godot itself?
Edit: The editor is not a project file you can clone and open (you can't edit the editor from within the editor), but is still written using the engine's APIs. Additionally, you can do things like extend the editor's functionality by writing a GDScript and/or creating a UI component that the editor will mount.
The fact that Godot's editor is created using Godot is still my favourite information about the engine. Shows how solid of a framework it is
Pixelorama is a great example of that, and it can even run directly on the browser. Godot's UI system is great.
That's awesome. I love languages and software that are written in themselves, it's very satisfying.
Godot's editor being made in Godot is a bit misleading. Yes, it uses the Godot UI and other engine features, but it's not like it's a literal Godot project you can go and edit. It's a core part of the engine's C++ codebase. It also uses some features that are unavailable during runtime, such as importing assets like glTF. If you wanted to make an editor in Godot with the exact same features, you'd have to hack together your own solutions for things like glTF importing, gizmos, etc. I think this is something they could work on and make these features available for everyone

Welcome unity devs 🫂🫂
Will always have a soft spot for Godot, the reason I got into programming
Hey there I like your content, nyc to see you here :)
I thought you were a web developer
Bro please try java again
@Conatious java is the best
i used it because it was easy
POV: You're here after Unity's prices changes
Unity brought me here.
Lol same.
What I love about Godot and its "everything's a node," workflow is that it feels just like working on React or Vue. Make components out of other components and you can make the hierarchy as simple or complex as you want
I remember when i used to use unity, the amount of annoyance between having a GameObject contain Components and having to access them with GetComponent urgh...
I kept starting game dev in unity, and giving up after 1-4 weeks, but using godot was really different: stuff actually was very easy to understand and clear of what's going on, combined with the fact that I didn't have to wait several minutes for the program to open, or have to use C# to program in it, it really just offered me something that I didn't think it was possible, it made the implementation part of game development actually possible and enjoyable, while before it was a constant loop of failures, giving up, frustration and feeling dumb.
are you using gdscript in godot? I've been in that same loop you mentioned. Tried godot a couple of years ago but gdscript didnt convince me
@@Slashx92 yes, using gdscript. Perhaps I am fine with it because on the side it just so happens I program variois things in python and gdscript is very similar to that.
Do you have trouble being stuck with gdscript or programming in general?
@@glorytoarstotzka330 I work developing software, so coding is not a problem. My problem may have been that I used to have a bias against python because the lack of braces lol, it really makes it more difficult for me to read, but maybe is just a matter of getting used to it
I was curious if you were using c++ to see if it's viable or if I should suck it up and give gdscript another chance
Thank you
@@Slashx92 I barely used C++, I never had to. From what I know C# can be a bit limited in godot from what I know. Most resources you will find will use gdscript.
Btw I also work developing software, one of the main reasons I might not have time for game dev, although I would really like to learn networking stuff that could be used to make co op games
Same here, but from unity to gzdoom.
Welcome Unity devs. Take a seat.
Been using Godot for over a year, glad to see it in a 100-seconds video!
And guess what happens on the 2-year mark... 😂😂😂
@@erikkonstas what?
I thought game development was super complex but tools like these make it much easier to develop complex games. Hats off to the developers of these frameworks. They must be amongst the best SWEs out there.
True!
But I would still recommend to make a 2D game first - it's much easier ;-)
An interesting fact: i know a guy on discord (not personally) who makes his entire game in visual scripting in UE4. He doesn’t know any programming language, he’s never learned to code, he doesn’t even know what OOP is. But he still makes a game on his own
@@AgraxGaming True - Blueprints is very intuitive! Godot's "Visual Script" tried the same idea but their latest poll shows that VS is not very popular and they deleted it in Godot 4. But it's still available in 3.x for those who want it ;-)
@@igorthelight Weeeeell, GDScript is easy enough to learn that Godot doesn't really need VS. At least imo
@@AgraxGaming True! Developers are 100% agree with you ;-)
My opinion - Visual Script could help to convert people from UE Blueprints to Godot, but if it's not popular - it's taking development time that could be spent on other, more useful things. So deleting it was a good decision. Sad but rational.
1:46 "Kinematic body" has now been renamed to "characterbody"
thanks
Thank youuuu
Who else is here after Unity's new Runtime Fee announcement?
Love that engine! Thanks for covering it
What intrigues me the most about this is the fact that it can export to web.
You could probably make a pretty cool personal site with that
Yeah it's a super versatile engine, you can make Godot plugins and add-ons using Godot. The engine could make itself LOL
hmm....
Every engine can export to web
technically its not really being ported, its being translated by emscripten which turns C code into javascript
@@memes_gbc674 That's what porting is🗿 In unity it is translated into web Assembly
hello to everyone coming here (or returning) thanks to unity!
To think we can make game with such ease, it is still Unreal for me
Nice one
I see what you did there :)
There's certainly a sense of Unity between us game developers, even if we are waiting for our dream games to be finished.
BTW can someone help me turn my belt into a noose
Oh Unreal is definitely not very easy lol. i have tried
Thats what happens when humans work in unity
Here to learn Godot after the Unitypocalypse 😘
Love Godot so much, glad it's getting noticed more
This one even comes with a mini tutorial included! This is what I call quality content.
and a very comprehensive one. I feel like I've seen the same tutorial but 40 min long lmao
I love godot
Me too :D
🥇 Gold!
Godot loves you more.

As a person developing a game with Godot, I like the exposure of this engine to the masses. Good job 👍
I love all your 100 second videos, but this is the first one that I actually wanted to download and start working on it. Thanks!
You may try - it's very easy to start!
* Download Godot
* Create a folder for it and for your projects - that may be the same folder
* Start it and you are ready to go ;-)

@@cmdr_ultraviol3ntsame
The comments are split from 3 days ago to 10 months ago and everyone knows why
why?
Before I met Godot, I used UPBGE, which is a fork of the long dead Blender Game Engine, but after learning to use Godot, I just fell in love for it, it's simple, straightforward and easy to use. The freedom the engine gives you is just awesome, for example, any property of any node or resource can be accessed via script or even animated using an AnimationPlayer node, which is insane comparing to UPBGE.
Você aqui, homi? 🤣
@@joelgomes1994 hehehe! 😅😅

Godot about to be number one after a single tweet from Unity
I hope the Godot devs can help me make my many ideas.
I particularily love how this gives more informations about Godot and how to use it than 20+ episodes long tutorials ^^
I'm currently using it for a game I'm developing as a solo dev. I have been using it since it was opensourced for various prototypes (also contributed a few changes to the engine).
love seeing bigger channels cover godot, it's such a good engine that needs some more love
Saw your unity video a long time ago and was looking for the Godot one, been waiting since then, It's finally here!
Godot is such an underrated engine.
I love Godot and have been using it for a few years now! Awesome piece of software
This honestly taught me more and better than any Godot tutorial I've seen before
Awesome to see you cover Godot! I've been using it the last 2 years or so and It's been a great engine to work with!
The first time I've known more about the subject matter than the video taught. Great work, love to see love for the engine and love to see a 100 seconds video!
Unity drama led me here
A combination of TS and Python sounds EPIC
A statically typed python with native compiling would be gigachad
Worth noting that this is an awesome engine for 2d games since it does pure 2d instead of 3d with 2d perspective (not an expert but I think unity does this). This makes it easier to get started with game dev since you don't have to deal with crazy 3d stuff.
And also there's a way to use 3d nodes in 2d if you want, so thats not a limited factor!
i wass waiting for you to make this video! love to see more people join the godot community.
Glad to see you showcase Godot. I've been using it for five years and i'd love for it to become more popular.
With the swell of improvements given to version 3.5 and a massive overhaul in the upcoming 4.0 version this is the perfect opportunity to shed light on Godot which since before was very approachable but also limiting in many areas.
This was an incredible compression of important information, wow. 20 videos in & that's the first one to explain all the important bits so quickly & clearly.
This is actually pretty good intro to Godot. I didn't expect this.
Today I learned Godot was made in my own country O: I wish it had more publicity and local support
salve do brasil manita, a engine feita no seu pais, é zica.
Don't worry, I predict _a lot_ of love and support for Godot going forward
eeww no if that was the case it wouldn't become open source
I love Godot. It was the only game engine that seemed approachable enough to start tinkering. It's growing, a new major version is shaping up nicely and is in beta, the current one is feature complete and can churn out really nice games. Totally worth checking out!
Waited for this, finally!!! Ty for making this video!
Awesome explanation! didn't expect Open source game engine like Godot will be in 100 second video, maybe next time you can make video about other open source game engine. That will be very helpful
I started learning Godot and game development yesterday, after a long time of slacking off, and then you uploaded a Godot video the next day. Reality is a simulation, there are no coincidences.

Ive never expected fireship to cover godot
this felt so unreal
a rather pleasant surprise
Glad to see a 100 seconds about Godot, it would be cool see one about GDscript and visual script too.
Visual Script will not make a transition to 4.0...
They did a poll and only a few percent of developers really used it
come to the C# side of the force, my child
Godot is a great first editor-based engine for both 2D and 3D.
I’d previously looked at Unity and Unreal, and felt confused and overwhelmed (not least by the huge downloads, installs and compile times).
But I picked up Godot and GDscript really fast, and soon climbed out of ‘tutorial hell’ to start work on many game ideas, though sadly yet to complete anything!
Using Godot has also given me the confidence and skills to look at Unity and Unreal again, and they both make much more sense.
Another good starter editor-based engine is Defold, which uses Lua for scripting. It is 3D capable but is geared more towards 2D. It is based on a GameObject and Component system like Unity, and has a really nice clean interface. It’s not as fully featured as the others I mentioned here, but in some ways it is better for it, being less restrictive.
Loving the game engine puns. Keep 'em coming ;)
Aahhh, so nice you made this one Fireship 💙

I started learning game dev with Godot about 2 months ago, mostly cuz of school and I just love it. The engine is just awesome am literally able to run it on my low spec Chromebook.
Also got a CZcams channel rolling cuz I was so inspired
Nice video ... Godot is great... It's worth learning even if you are a Unity or Unreal user...
I really like the idea of a truly open-source, lightweight game development engine, and I hope Godot continues to do great things. It's hard for me to justify transitioning from UE to Godot, not just due to the graphical differences (if you care about that) but also the numerous time-saving features that UE provides. Writing a locomotion system for example from scratch with Godot's scripting language would be a daunting task for an indie developer, unless you are doing very basic movement. The character movement component and enhanced input system in Unreal provides you with a simple, easy to modify movement system with lots of options. And if you don't want to use it, you can just delete it. I feel like everything in UE is designed to save indie devs time. That does come at a cost of a higher installation size, but that doesn't mean your packaged game will be. Godot is better served by small to medium sized teams who have knowledge of the scripting and materials already and do not prioritize graphical fidelity.
Agreed. Godot is going strong though, and with Godot 4.0 rolling out with more optimizations and complex 3D graphics it's quickly becoming a serious competition to Unity and Unreal.
Unity has the time advantage here, with a big userbase and lots of features and plugins made over the years, and though it's going to take a while I think Godot is aiming to match their level and improve upon it. I love both Unity and Godot, but heck I really love open source.
@@TheMegaxPlus I think Godot is the perfect engine for devs who have never touched a game engine before or written any code. Its scripting language is very easy to use, and precisely because it lacks some of the third party content that Unity and Unreal have, you need to figure out how to create systems on your own. So it almost forces you learn game dev from the ground up, as opposed to what Unreal does which takes away the need to learn these systems from the ground up and places you somewhere in the middle between "No system" and "finished system".
Tthese time saving features are incredibly useful but if you don't have a good understanding of what's going on in the execution from the very bottom to the very top it can cause problems later.
@@GlassesAndCoffeeMugsso what’s better then to start with?
@@delatroy Depends on what game you want to make and if you have any programming experience. Personally I think learning UE, even blueprints, could be a bit daunting for somebody with 0 programming knowledge. If you haven't programmed anything before and want to make a 2d platformer, Godot is the way to go, hands down. If you have some programming knowledge and want to make a shooter, Unreal is the way to go.
yeah imo if godot is competing with anyone its unity, unreal is doing its own 3d-focused thing.
im living to this day to see ma big softies Godot covered in this channel ! Thanks man !
Woah you really fit a lot in this 100 seconds!

Godot was my first game engine that i used and published my very first game back in 2017. It feels great to see its still shining like a star
It is!
It has many improvements over those few years like HTML5 and Android version of the engine! Yes - you may use it on ANY device now! Even on your refrigerator if it has a browser! ;-)
Also - there is Godot 4.0 Beta 3! It has Vulkan support and GDScript 2.0 (true static types and it's faster!)
@@igorthelight thats alot of upgrades. Thx for the information!
@@XoLucyna ;-)
Best thing is that it's not limited to games. There are many UI elements like buttons, sliders, drop down menus, and many more already pre-made. You can create all kinds of desktop apps within literal minutes.
A notable positive of Godot is that 2D and 3D rendering are separate (meaning the 2D is not hacked into the 3D space), and you can do calculations in 2D based on pixels. But if you want, you can render a 3D scene in 2D or vice verse.
This is the main reason I choose this engine over unreal or unity when I got started.
