Is Godot better for beginners?

Learning material: Unity does have more learning material by far. But Godot has a sufficient amount. You don’t need dozens of beginner’s courses, you need one that’s good. As long as the quantity is sufficient the quality is more important, and that’s where Godot is a clear winner.

Which is better for beginners Godot or unity?

Unity is the better engine in terms of the quality and complexity of the games. Godot is geared more towards beginning developers but is definitely on the rise and gaining more ground as a serious engine. It will take some time, but I believe Godot could easily become a heavy hitter that game developers will flock to.

Is Defold a good engine?

Is Defold better than Godot?

Performance wise Defold rapes Godot. Godot has bad performance unless you code natively in C++ which is not a good idea as a beginner and there is no easy way to export your games doing it that way. But for most games it would do well enough. Godot has no easy way of implementing ads.

Is Godot good for game development?

The thing about Godot is it’s considered as the underdog in game engines. This is because it is powerful yet open source, meaning that the developer does not have to pay anything to use the tool. It is also older and is geared mainly toward 2D game development. However, it supports 3D but is not the best at 3D game development and rendering.

Which games did you make with Defold?

Game #2 (Castle Adventure) was made with Godot and Game #3 (Tapmoji) with Defold. I mentioned on Twitter that Defold was completely new to me and I was asked by the Defold engine developers themselves what my on-boarding experience was and if I could compare the ease-of-use and the feature-set with Godot.

Should I use Godot or Defold to create ads?

Godot has no easy way of implementing ads. If you plan on making mobile applications and adding ads to them its easier to do it using Defold. They also have analytics tool to track how your apps are doing in terms of money which Godot doesn’t have. Godot is way better for 3D. So if you are thinking of doing 3D go for Godot. More tutorials.
