I love Godot’s GDScript. Thoughts 🧵👇🏼
Rift Riff and Hidden Folks 2 use it. Most professional game devs making games in Godot I know love it - often after trying C# thinking it would ease the transition from Unity. Instead, they love the ease and speed of GDScript more than their habits from C#.

It's a survivor*lite*.

Y'all have an idea for a game title? We are struggling to find something good and I know y'all are super smart😅
The game is:
- Assemble a band of lost musicians
- Fight grumpy people with music
- Musical but not a rhythm game
- Single player
- Medieval-ish fantasy but animals
- Silly cute cartoony

In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.
