Could be a huge win for Godot.
- pjmlp 3y agoUsually given as example in these last weeks, always forgetting about lack of feature parity.
- TulliusCicero 3y agoNobody's forgetting about it. Godot is trying to be a competitor, but realistically they don't have nearly the funding or total manpower that Unity or Unreal have, at least at the moment, but at the same time, they're still making good progress on being viable for some things (they're already very viable for most 2D games, and 3D games with simple graphics).
- pjmlp 3y agoDoesn't look like it, given the amount of times it keeps being pushed as "alternative".
- Narann 3y agoUnreal for VFX is hard to scale, but have some interesting iterative advantages. If Godot is the alternative, VFX will likely fall back to path tracing.
- mattigames 3y agoThat reads suspiciously similar to that dreaded meme of "this is good for Bitcoin"
- Dylan16807 3y agoI can see a little resemblance in bringing up something that didn't need to come up, but a competitor raising prices is pretty relevant. And that meme didn't really take off until it was about all kind of bad events, arguing that actually they were good things, and that's clearly not what's happening here.
- oblio 3y agoYou actually made me check, both Bitcoin and Ethereum are holding up remarkably well after the interest rate increases. Can anyone that follows cryptocurrencies confirm something? I have a suspicion than 99% of smaller cryptocurrencies have been wiped out, though.
- stavros 3y agoExcept that's always said when something bad for Bitcoin happens. The analogue here would be to say "this is actallg good for Unreal", as it's definitely good for Godot that a competitor started charging.
- tormeh 3y agoGodot and Unreal aren't really competing in a lot of areas. No one's going to make movies using Godot any time soon, for example. Unreal's rendering is just so far ahead of the pack.
- dym_sh 3y agothis comment has to be satire? Blender is 1000 times closer to intended usecases
- niclo 3y agoCan you create apps like these on Blender ? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37776009 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37776009
- andybak 3y agoI'm not agreeing or disagreeing but you've not engaged with the "intended usecases" part of the comment you're replying to. You both disagree on what "intended usecases" really are in this context so engage with that rather than replying with a bunch of videos.
