This is a lot like an open source Unity. It is trying to be pretty comprehensive, and while a little thin in areas, they are doing a great job-- a lot of value for the "cost" (which is namely, learning the new platform.)
The 2.x series is current, but 3.0 which is in the final stages is a big upgrade, with physically based rendering, a lot better shadow system, support for multiple programming/scripting languages and a visual programming language (for designers and artists to use, though its fully capable large scripts are harder to do visually.)
Very excited about this project and can't wait for 3.0.
- AnkhMorporkian 9y agoI'm having a hard time finding much about the visual language, but does it happen to convert into a proper text-based scripting language? I love the idea of my designer being able to piece some stuff together with next to no programming knowledge, and me coming in later and editing it in a text form.
- rothbardrand 9y agoI'm not sure if it "converts" in the sense it can be exported, but it is a literal 1 to 1 mapping of the GDScript language (or a subset of it), so such a conversion should be possible.
