Mozilla donated $20,000+ to this open source game engine:
How is this any better than Unity and UE4?
Godot Engine
Aaron Fisher
Dylan Cruz
Ask Sup Forums, this board is for technology
Jaxson Ortiz
good, the money is spent on actual development instead of making another firefox hello.
>How is this any better than Unity and UE4?
its FOSS
Anthony Bell
It isn't. Their audio system stinks with huge delays and other minor quirks.
Isaiah Bell
>its FOSS
FOSS is something the gamedev community has ignored for decades.
Kevin Allen
>something the gamedev community has ignored for decades
yeah i agree.
But they dont ignore the fact its free compared to unity being expensive if you want to export to a lot of platforms
Lincoln Martinez
Works better here than there.
Jace Walker
Yes.
Game talk belongs to Sup Forums.
Game engine talk is welcome in Sup Forums.
Jordan Rivera
doing any serious programming in python is a pita
Ryan Ross
No it hasn't, UE4 and Unity licensing is fucking awful for small studies.
Why do you think libGDX is so widely used and popular?
Andrew Wilson
Why the fuck is Mozilla messing around with games? Aren't they supposed to work on their failing browser?
Why has Mozilla gone so wrong and SJW the past years?
Justin Russell
Chrome's rapid rise is due to android phones.
William White
How can they compete? It's literally impossible to have more advertisement than Chrome.
Jose Martinez
still a big WIP huh ?
I'll check it out but it's a bit too late for me to switch now
might try what it can handle though heh
Nathaniel Sullivan
>Why has Mozilla gone so wrong and SJW the past years?
Too much money in their organization. Money corrupts.
Tyler Nelson
I think it has more to do with its ad on google.com and because it was and still is installed automatically with other software installers on Windows.
Lincoln Phillips
It's not Python but a very Python-like language with GC and concurrency optimized for soft real-time (gaming) requirements.
Ayden White
The thing is that WebGL rendering is faster in firefox than in any other browser (I think is one of the few things firefox does better than chrome at this point).
So it's smart from mozilla to invest in a free as in freedom easy to use game engine that exports to HTML5
Nicholas Sanchez
WebGL/HTML5/Meme gaming is a pipe dream, even Jagex couldn't get that shit to work.
Jeremiah Lee
I think Jagex' new RS runs really well and has some pretty good graphics for a browser game.
You wanna run games with a filesize of multiple gigabytes in a browser?
Nathan Flores
It will flop then.
Benjamin Jones
Their new RS client isn't WebGL/HTML5/Meme, they completely abandoned it citing it was slower than their Java Applet despite it being much more heavily optimised and using much more modern design patterns.
Christian Bennett
Yes, that's exactly why we need good developers working on good WebGL. Thus Mozilla donated to godot.
Jackson Lopez
So they wrote their own?
Jayden Morales
What? their new client is written in C++.
Julian Rogers
Kek, Oldschool runescape had a software renderer.
So it's no longer browser based? Couldn't they just have made a java applet that used opengl instead of webgl/going c++.
Brayden Watson
So you're going to use an inferior, buggy, "free" clone of Unity, when you could just use free Unity and deal with the splash screen.
Jace Hill
>java applet
Java Applets are the worst. Mainly because they require Java.
