Tesla uses Godot, and you should too
What game uses Godot?
Have you ever wondered who’s brave enough to venture into the world of Godot game development? Well, the surprising answer might just be Tesla. Yes, Elon Musk’s very own Tesla! According to a tweet from one of Tesla’s mobile developers, Godot is being used for 3D interfaces in their design. That’s huge! But is Godot truly ready to compete with giants of game development such as Unity? Let’s find out.
Who is Using Godot?
One of the first games developed using the Godot engine is ‘Tiled Quest Defense’, where you play the protector of cute, fuzzy creatures against a robot. Quirky as it may sound, it’s hard to ignore the beautiful and detailed graphics of the game that give it a certain charm.
Second on our list is ‘Cassette Beast’. This game is a Pokemon clone that features 2v2 battles, allowing you to transform into monsters and face off against other monstrosities. Highly playable and widely loved, it’s proof of what can be achieved with Godot. You can even find it on Nintendo Switch and Xbox, in addition to PC.
So, What Is Godot?
Godot is an open-source game development engine meaning you can modify its source code freely. This makes it incredibly adaptable for creating varied types of games. To give you a taste of its flexibility, consider this - even Sonic Colours Ultimate has been developed using Godot, requiring numerous adjustments to give it the Sonic look.
Godot supports both 2D and 3D, rendering it highly useful to a wide range of developers. Plus, you can run it on most operating systems, including ports for Android. The engine uses its own programming language, GDScript, which is similar to Python. If you’re used to coding in C# (with Unity) or C++, there’s good news - Godot supports both!
More Games Developed Using Godot
‘Resolutiion’ positions itself as an action-packed, fast-paced game that is nothing short of a delight to play. The game run for more than 16 hours and is playable on PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch. Again, it’s a testament to Godot’s capability of exporting games onto consoles.
Wrapping Up
While Godot may not be absolutely perfect, it’s certainly proving itself capable of battling the best in the industry. With Unity’s recent controversy, turning your sight towards Godot could prove to be beneficial.
So, if you have the passion and time, don’t hesitate to give Godot a try. Our new game is also being developed using Godot, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Stay tuned for more updates!
