Godot is so frustrating, but one thing I have to concede is that once you get your head around it the GUI part is actually incredibly powerful. My next game I'm going to make in Raylib, and if the UI bit proves too difficult I'll probably end up back at Godot. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/941 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── @user-562 @user-655 I relate to that... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/942 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── @user-658 @user-353 sounds nice T.T America is in a different place right now, and there's just too much institutional inertia away from the kind of system you're describing and toward... well, what we have now. It's frustrating, hence why more radical solutions feel appealing. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
