GodotI, for one, welcome our new robot overlord!
I'm amazed at how many people are still using unity.
I hate to call it too early and jinx it but I think at this point its safe to say we got a Blender moment about to happen in Game Engines. I know these are all indie games. But the momentum is astonishing and with Battlefield using Godot as their Level Editor and more recognition on the professional level there is no sign of stopping it.
Whats next on the chopping block? Wouldn't mind it to be Photoshop, but I guess for that GIMP would really need a grounds up redesign UI and UX wise.
Blender moment
Did Maya do a Unity or it it even still a thing? (Or something else that's also proprietary 🤢)
I dunno, but there are plenty of other proprietary options, many of which are the actual "industry standard". However, because it is free, blender is the default option for non pros, and some pros are adopting it too.
wait battlefield uses godot? holy shit
There are other tools besides the Gimp. Have you tried krita? It's a little more pain and tablet oriented. But a solid program in its own right. And despite being part of the KDE platform if I'm not mistaken. They have excellent Windows and Mac versions as well
Krita for me was quite a learning curve, but far more intuitive / with a far better workflow than Gimp once you got used to it. So I'd recommend it too for image editing, though with this, to me, a positive caveat.
Open source always win.
Eventually. It's a long slow arc. But there's definitely a history of it. From its Inception the modern smartphone has been built almost exclusively on top of Linux or BSD. Even if proprietary presentation layers above it don't always make it perfectly clear. Similar can be said for any modern gaming console or hand held. With the exception of Microsoft's products.
Most of the modern internet, your home consumer router and maybe even some of your appliances. Built on open source code. And finally, many are switching to own their PC again. There isn't a lot of hype or fan fair publicly. But open source has been quietly putting in the work and showing up for decades.
Realistically, we're actually just returning to a pre Microsoft state. Granted before the explosion of the personal computer most computers were massive devices an individual couldn't own. And there wasn't a lot of money to be made in selling the software itself. So there was a lot of collaboration and sharing. Even if proprietary layers were built on top. The base was vital. We're finally getting back there.
Now they just need to switch colors in the graph :)
Yeah! It was a blast. We also used godot. Such a great engine!
Hell yeeeah. Love to see godot get the love it deserves.
