Unfortunately we gamedevs cant just snap fingers and make game work in different engine. Many of us are vendor locked.
Engine switching in middle of a project comes with super high cost of time: Gotta relearn the engine, gotta rewrite code in some language I've never heard of or is just incompatible (No, you can't just copy paste unity C# to godot c#)... On top of losing access to many assets, which make the gamedev easier, especially for solo developers.
Godot has been long time on my radar, but for now one of my titles im working on has to be (very likely) finished under Unity. It's just what it is. Unless some kind of miracle happens and I can reuse all my unity assets in godot, I can rewrite the current code in record time etc..
(Something funny I've noticed, if the game doesn't explicitly mention it's made with Unity when booting up, people have no idea what the engine is. Nor they care.)
Anyhow, Godot is going to be engine for any future projects of mine.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI did take backups.. Everything except the Morrowind saves! :'DQuoting: akselmoStunning! I lost my saves recently due to switching from Kubuntu to Fedora, so I suppose it's time to start it all over again.. With shinies! :)This is why I always have a separate /home partition... also make backups!

Meanwhile I am not into snaps, for people who simply don't care about packaging method as long as it works, this is great!

I haven't actively used twitter for months. I replaced it pretty much completely with mastodon, except I have gamedev only account on twitter (i really never use except to announce something)..
And I have been much happier.
Join fediverse, it's good.
