Is it stable enough to make games? I've been wanting to make games with it but, I'm still wanting for a stable release. Is it safe enough to use for making games now?

  • Tomcat replied to this.

  • Sadly, no. They are still making breaking changes, and overall it's not stable or production ready. Probably be at least 6 months to a year (judging from history).

    That said, I made some demos and released them, and they didn't crash anyone's computer (except for mine, while making it). If you want to experiment, I mean it works well enough to do basic stuff. Most of the features are in there, it's just that they may not be working 100%. I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it, cause Godot 3.x is really stable. 4.0 has much better graphics, and some seriously good new features, but you add a lot of risk if it's a serious commercial project.

    I would say if you are making like hobby demos for free, it's good enough for that. But I might wait if it's a serious project. Or if you just don't like headache, cause the editor will crash, things will get broken.

    Nope:

    While we do our best to minimize compatibility breaking changes for existing beta users, there are still occasional changes in the API which may impact your Godot 4 projects.

        The computer, of course, it does not break (well, not yet). But there is a chance that the project will have to be corrected with the release of new versions of the engine. Yes, there is a lot more new features, so I am mastering it.

        That is, small training and educational projects can be done, but keep in mind that they may have to edit. But to embark on a major project is not yet recommended.
