Godot

What do you like best?

Godot has been incredibly easy to use. I am getting into game technology for the first time and I've had no problems while using Godot. It is a very easy to use and navigate. Great platform to both work on 3d or 2d games and add your code easily to each element.

What do you dislike?

As a developer who uses C++ plugins, I would like Godot to have more documentation for these plugins. This may help a broader community develop as building games with these C++ plugins as they can very much advance the games created using Godot. There is also not an easy way to test multiplayer games while in the editor, instead you must go to the main menu and then click run on the individual project you want to test.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would highly recommend Godot to beginners. It has great resources for people to learn the software and integrate their code with the elements they create in the software. It also very easy to package your game after finishing and sharing the code and game with others.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I am creating different gaming programs with Godot. I've easily been able to add AI, networking, and graphics to my games through Godot. It has also been a great tool in order to learn about game technology as whole as a beginner entering the game industry.
