WOW. That's a *huge* shift in just one year. It's wonderful to see @godotengine doing so well and loved by so many people.

@MBoffin @godotengine logos mean nothing. should use words. like Unity, etc
@synlogic @godotengine I did not make these charts. Did you check the alt text? The alt text I wrote uses words.
@MBoffin @godotengine no worries. I collect a list of GUI anti-patterns and seeing that chart made me think of a new one to add. lol
@synlogic @MBoffin @godotengine is this list public somewhere?
@aylamz @MBoffin @godotengine not yet. in raw notes/draft form on my computers. someday I might polish it up and share it somewhere. have 2 books to finish wtiting before then haha
@MBoffin @godotengine
To be fair, unity did play a part in getting people off unity lol.
@Buugman @godotengine True. As a non-profit foundation, the marketing budget of @godotengine is not super big and can't do major marketing pushes to drive new users to try out Godot. It was very kind of Unity to step in and help.
@MBoffin @godotengine apparently people are willing to abandon something they know if they are too greedy. Nice to see.

@MBoffin so you say my son is one of the 2838 people (or teams) who are leading the charge? ^^ Good to know.

@MBoffin Thanks for including the alt text. Godot and Unreal were the only logos I recognises.

@MBoffin @godotengine after having seen an anti-godot video on YouTube (haven't watched) with a lot of anti-godot comments under it, I'm happy that the numbers are on the side of the opensource game engine!

#GodotEngine #FreeSoftware

@nicemicro @MBoffin @godotengine what kind of comments? Does it relate to enterprise godot usage, or small indie projects problems were also discussed?
@yastreb @MBoffin @godotengine ohh, there was nothing concrete discussed, just generally sh*tting on the engine.
@MBoffin @godotengine Go ahead and take another slice of that pie godot it's your cheat day
@MBoffin @godotengine
Very happy to see this! Godot is a truly amazing work. Hope this trend continues in the long run.
@MBoffin @godotengine GOATdot πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺI used it for this years GMTK too for the first time and it was so comfy

@MBoffin @godotengine it's indeed great news!

For the people thinking what happened? Well, Unity f&ked people over with their new pricing scheme/scam. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/rust-creator-tells-unity-to-get-fucked-as-developers-left-seething-by-new-fee

Rust creator tells Unity to "get fucked" as developers left seething by new install fee

Unity's new Runtime Fee has invoked the wrath of developers across the industry.

@MBoffin @godotengine Honestly I'm just as surprised that "Other" (including Unreal) *shrunk*.

@MBoffin @godotengine

Time to send the Unity CEO a gift basket, I guess.

@MBoffin @godotengine Hah GET FUCKED UNITY!
Not as excited about the growth of Unreal tho...
