Hi. I'm a commercial backend (primarily java) engineer, gamedev hobbyist and Rust fan grown in Saint-Petersburg (Russia's one). It’s a shame that to open such a wonderful engine I needed to wait for Unity to cancel themselves.

kkolyan well nonetheless we are happy to have you! Welcome to Godot and the forums!

I've worked with the LAMP stack to build and host websites. I've been on a learning journey that started out with libGDX, Java, then Kotlin, then Unity and C#. I actually published one game on the play store. It was just an altered version of one of the official Unity tutorials. From 0 to 1, as a programmer I'm probably like a .7 right now. That might be higher then reality.

Like so many, Unity's recent action has driven me away. I already like how fast the Godot engine loads! I did get some errors when it launched, but I'll address those in another thread.

My real name is Corry, but I also answer to "Tec".

Go Go Godot. Attempting to jump ship from the USS Unity. Looking for a new home where there are fewer sharks. I Mainly develop stuff in the IoT space. Unity was my main place for experimenting with ideas. Will probably still be a good alternative but for now after playing with Godot it looks like a better option for my current needs. Well done to the guys at the bottom of the hull coding the Godot engine. Now lets see where to next.... ;-)

tigme unfortunately there is a shark in the water, but I’m throwing you a life preserver! Welcome to the forums!

I'm a long time backend Java and systems dev and wannabe game developer (well, maybe in another life). Anyway, I'm having fun playing around with Godot and trying to get my kids interested in some actual coding instead of just playing games. I appreciate all of the amazing tutorials and information around Godot. It really helps us beginners. Thanks to all. Here's some 'Matrix Rain' that I made - https://github.com/jdeppe-pivotal/godot-matrix-rain

JensD welcome to the forums, it’s great to have you. Might be worth starting a discussion on the forums about ‘Kids and Godot’. I am certain we have other members who have gotten their kids active with Godot.

hi I just started developing a 2D game in Godot. I'm new to video games in general haha
looking forward to meeting the community ^^
especially if there's any fellow queer devs out there please don't hesitate to get in touch !

lula Hey, welcome to the forum Lula! And great to hear you jumped into game dev!

Hello all! Happy to be here and to meet new like-minded people! I've been an avid "gamer" for over 25 years. Throughout my life I have tried picking up game development many times; now that I am 33 with tons of life experience and growth, I feel I am up to the challenge and can grasp the concepts much better. It's been a very slow journey, but for about 1-3 years now I have been making an active and honest attempt at learning game development. I started on RPGMaker for fun when I was younger, and was able to grasp Game Maker Studio quite well, despite the many hurdles I couldn't overcome; I decided GMS's model wasn't very.. pure (best I can describe it), so thankfully I moved on. I've tried Godot in the past, but was lost on which direction to take, I decided to try Unity; learning C# for the simple games I want to make at the moment didn't seem appealing and the massive amounts of stress from learning it wasn't worth it to me. So, now I have fully decided that Godot is the place for me, it's the most wholesome project I've ever seen within the game development world! I'm still a newbie, but I already know what I want to create and how it should be; I just have to learn to translate it into some kind of programming language, and GDScript has been easy enough to grasp so far. No doubt I will have many questions and will need mentors to guide me, as well as connect with people on a similar skill/knowledge level, thus I am here introducing myself looking for community.

Cheers!

honeycomb Warm welcome to the forums! An exciting journey you are on.

Hi Everyone. I joined the forums a few days ago. So I'm an old school Quake engine developer. I created the engine mods UQE Quake, UQE Quake 2 and UQE Hexen II. A year ago I started a project called IdTechNET and development was touch and go. The idea was to build a classic FPS engine, but modernize it by completely develop it using C#. Initially I wanted it to be able to run Quake 2 out of the box, then afterwards use it for an original retro shooter... but since Quake II Remastered was released I kinda thought that maybe I should rather abandon that and instead make a choice between Godot and Unreal, naturally one might think Unreal would be the more obvious choice gived my past experience. Though I'm kinda leaning towards simplicity, which seems like Godot might be it. I'm still very very new to Godot and can barely create a basic scene. 😛

Anyways... thats me. I might create a topic to discuss my starting problems creating a basic re-useable player ( scene? ) and a monster one nd getting those "imported" into a main scene. Still having some problems getting an understanding of that.

Big welcome! It's such a great thing to see people in different stages of life!

Hi everyone, I'm udi. Long time gamer (atarii and on) new wannabe dev, lol. So far I'm still muddling thru some different tutorials. The community looks kind and knowledgeable. I hope someday to be something besides helpless ✌️

meniac

Hi All! Nice to meet you! A graphical designer, coder/developer veteran here. Just switched to Godot. Been using Unreal (over 10years) and Unity (since 2007) and looking forward to make a game with this. Purchased Steam and Epic store slot for publishing. I'll try to be active here, but making games is a hobby to me.
-- Cheers!

i've been here a while, but i am 23. it's that age where i wake up and change my mind about whatever i happen to not like that day. i've heard people call it "growing up".

here's a devlog(blog): packrat.neocities.org
i hope you speak english and your computer speaks UTF-8 because i don't understand web design.

Hello, in my alter life I am a hobbyist indie dev. However, my background is in backed web development using mostly Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I love programming since I had my first computer (MSX) when I was 11. I am in my 40s now so I may be one of the seniors here around 🙂. Still love programming so I am putting some time on the side to enjoy making videogames.

My main challenge now is understanding what makes a game enjoyable. I am very interested in Game Design, in the concept of fun.

d2clon I am in my 40s now so I may be one of the seniors here around

I'm curious what the average age is here on the forum, but it seems to be a bit above 40.

packrat

d2clon i like your basketball game a lot.

Tomcat I'm curious what the average age is here on the forum, but it seems to be a bit above 40.

That is nice. It is nice to be around experienced people. Nothing against young people, we need their enthusiasm, energy, and, why not? arrogance. It is just that sometimes I feel like I am in another pace.
