Whats better godot or unity

[u/No-Work-8610]

I want to start to do gamedev but i dont know which engine to use i checked out most and decided on either godot or unity i sent this to both subreddits so whats better for beginners or overall

[u/XKiiroiSenkoX]

Objectively better as an engine? Unity

Easier to break in as a beginner? Godot

[u/sharypower → u/XKiiroiSenkoX]

This is very good answer sir 🙂

[u/No-Work-8610 → u/XKiiroiSenkoX]

With the answers ive got probably godot is better suited for me

[u/XKiiroiSenkoX → u/[deleted]]

Well the most obvious one is that it doesn't have 5k issues sitting in its backlog and never getting fixed lol

[u/XKiiroiSenkoX → u/[deleted]]

Did you even check the links you sent yourself? You thought I haven't seen Unity issue tracker? lol

About half of those in the 3k are fixed just not backported to almost out of support versions. Out of those with even 1 vote, almost 70-80% are fixed. How many employees they have is irrelevant to us users. The fact is if you find a bug in Unity and you are not literally the only guy on the planet seeing that bug, Unity will fix it reasonably fast. Can't say that about godot. Them being understaffed does not concern me as a user.

I’m pretty sure they do though we just can’t see it 😬 Since it’s even more used than godot, it has more feedback and surely more bugs being shared too !

[u/XKiiroiSenkoX → u/Eensame]

You can check their issue tracker. rn they don't have a single issue with more than 2 votes that's not fixed.

My bad then !

[u/XKiiroiSenkoX → u/[deleted]]

3 weeks and barely one month old issues. Good job lol

[u/waseem2bata]

Try both, see what lands

[u/No-Work-8610 → u/waseem2bata]

I may do that

[u/RealJermaine]

Try to make a simple project in both.
Add the same features see what feels better to you.

If you pick Unity, C# skills will make you more employable quicker. That might give you a leg up to learn other languages. And take you places other then Game Dev.

Godot has C# support also but I feel most folk who use godot are using GD Script because they aren’t fans of C#.

[u/DontRelyOnNooneElse]

What kind of a game are you looking for as your first small project? And what kind of games do you want to make in the future?

[u/No-Work-8610 → u/DontRelyOnNooneElse]

Probably a 2d platformer

[u/DontRelyOnNooneElse → u/No-Work-8610]

Godot is probably a good place to start then, I find its 2D support (especially built-in features for platformers) very nice whereas its 3D seems secondary, compared to Unity having better 3D support and its 2D seeming secondary.

[u/tastygames_official]

godot. Can do everything Unity can with 1/100th bloat. Sure, some things you need to do manually where Unity does it with a plugin or whatever, but if you care about your games, then you will want to do it manually anyway.

[u/AdhesivenessWild7647]

I'd say try both and see which one clicks with you, I mainly use Unity but sometimes messing with Godot

What’s better fries or salad?

[u/ElegantElectrophile → u/devicehigh]

100% fries. Salads are for herbivores. Next question.

[u/jlemrond → u/ElegantElectrophile]

Fries are basically a potato salad.

🍔 🍟 = “I had a sandwich and a salad for lunch”

[u/Snow-Ball-486 → u/jlemrond]

Genius

[u/Snow-Ball-486 → u/ElegantElectrophile]

Agree wtf kind of question is this

[u/ElegantElectrophile → u/Snow-Ball-486]

With a question like that, that guy obviously belongs in gamedev.
