Hi #gamedevs! In light of recent events I thought it would be a good opportunity to ask what do you consider when choosing a game engine?

Let me take you down memory lane to when I first got into game development, and was looking for an engine.

Imagine trying to cram an elephant into a closet. Yep, that's how it felt running a big boys engine on my potato laptop. After some looking I knew that something lightweight was the way to go. That's when I stumbled across Godot and I gave it a try. ??

Now, I wasn't exactly a coding wizard back then. I needed an engine that made it easy to transfer some of the stuff I had been learning prior to dipping my toes into game dev. Godot's GD Script, like Python's friendly cousin, was a lifesaver during those early coding fumbles.??

Back then there wasn't an abundance of learning material. But the documentation was quite solid and it allowed me to get up and going. I took it as a learning experience and a way to see how opensource software develops and grows over time. ???

Zoom forward through the struggles, and Godot remains my game dev sidekick. From a coding 'noob' to someone slightly less 'noob-ish,' the journey's been a ride worth every pixel! ??

Now, dear #GameDevCommunity, spill the beans! What engine set your journey in motion, and how did you navigate that choice? Let's swap stories and level up together! ???? #GameEngines #IndieDev
