At my last startup, our product required information that didn't exist in the digital world - the table of contents of hundreds of medical books. So I used to spend nights and week…

Awesome! The 3D shooter course is in production now, and is looking great so far. We try to inject best practices in all of our courses as well as weighing tradeoffs when discussin…

Wow...I wrote up a whimsical account of what could happen after the price increases. I got the timing wrong (I thought it would take several months for the CEO to step down), but s…

At Quiver, we’re building comprehensive, polished courses for Godot. We aim to take you from the basics to more advanced concepts. Our content isn’t free though, but we’re doing ou…

Totally agree, that's why I submitted this article. I'm personally invested in seeing Godot become successful, but this type of constructive criticism is great for the ecosystem (e…

There's a good post on Reddit of a dev creating small web exports using custom builds: https://old.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/16lti15/godot_is_not... .

I'm less concerned about Unreal pulling a Unity. The bigger issue is just a lack of attention. The last numbers I saw was that Unreal was pulling in $100m a year for Epic. That's a…

There are a couple of projects working on this. These are two of the best ones that I know of: * Unidot: https://github.com/V-Sekai/unidot_importer * UnityPackage For Godot: https:…

If anyone's looking for a quick intro to Godot 4, you can take a look at our video series: https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-game/ . Disclaimer: this is offere…

W4 Games, which was founded by some of the Godot devs, also recently announced console support: https://w4games.com/2023/08/06/w4-games-unveils-w4-consoles-... .

It's funny, I met the two co-creators of Godot at GDC this year and they both pronounce it differently. So there may never be a consensus!

We have a free tutorial for Godot 4 that takes you from the start to a complete game in about two hours. You can find it here: https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-…

Depends how you define well-known. The Godot showcase lists some of the popular ones: https://godotengine.org/showcase/ . I believe Dome Keeper did $1m+ in sales with a 2-person te…

That's not correct. They don't even mention the asset store in their annual reports or shareholder letters any more, but in 2020 the Asset Store revenue was part of a category that…

Very possible! I'm in the process of building a C&C-like prototype, except 2D. I'm hoping to post a tutorial + code in a couple of weeks on our site (link in profile). If you want …

If you're just getting started, I'd recommend trying out a few engines to see what clicks (I find it usually takes at least an afternoon to get a feel for an engine). JS engines te…

This article is pretty shallow, but I agree with the broad strokes. I'm personally betting on Godot reaching an inflection point (I have $$$ personally invested in a startup bettin…

Our company creates Godot courses and while we have scripts for our videos, we’ve found it difficult to turn them into books. Game programming is just so visual, especially introdu…

Our company, Quiver, has a free Godot 4 course that takes you from basics to a finished 2d infinite runner in about 2 hours. https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-…

If anyone's interested in learning the basics of Godot 4, we just launched a free tutorial series: https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-game/ (also on YouTube: ht…

The company is Quiver ( https://quiver.dev ). There's not much to see right now, but we're looking to launch in the next month or two.

That's a good question and to be honest, we're still figuring it out. Making our templates open source have the benefits of allowing the broader community to contribute, helps make…

Agreed! I don't think there's anything really standing in the way of building high-quality games with Godot. As Godot continues to mature and with the right tools and support for t…
