Who needs game maker when we have godot, etc?
- gjsman-1000 3y agoDifferent strokes for different folks. It’s like asking why we need PowerPoint when we’ve got LibreOffice.
- pipeline_peak 3y agoLibreOffice is a substandard imitation. Godot is more powerful than Gamemaker. It can do anything Gamemaker can do and it’s free.
- nacs 3y agoGodot is definitely far more powerful but it has a higher learning curve. Gamemaker is far easier for beginners who are making that Gamemaker type of game (typically top-down, pixel-art for graphics, etc).
- pipeline_peak 3y agoThat is true. It’s just an unfortunate that GameMaker is the one of the that isn’t open source

- nottorp 3y agoThat is the problem actually. You don't always need powerful.
- wilsonnb3 3y agopeople who want console support without paying a third party company to port their game, for starters
- riffruff24 3y agoTrue, you pay them instead of Godot. Unless your third party company is w4games, then you're just paying godot with extra steps.
- bogwog 3y agoWho needs Vue when we have React? Who needs Javascript when we have Typescript? Who needs MariaDB when we have MySQL? Who needs Docker when we have Podman? Who needs Burger King when we have McDonalds? Who needs Wish.com when we have Amazon? ...

- tomschwiha 3y agoWho needs programmers when we have GPT?
- josephcsible 3y agoThe point is that this is still proprietary, but we already have FOSS that does the same thing. Who needs AIX and HP-UX when we have Linux and BSD? Who needs leaded gas when we have unleaded gas?

- jessepasley 3y agoCan Godot export to mobile/console/etc easily?
- simne 3y agoThere are some versions issues, and you need ask somebody to configure pipeline for you (install Android Studio, Xcode, VSC, etc, figure out how to work with it, etc), but overall answer - yes, you could choose version of Godot, which will easily export to mobile/console, after ONCE spent time to configure pipeline. Sure, once will appear new release, too different, so will need again do pipeline configuration.
