   Godot Engine vs GDevelop Comments

   Top Positive Comment by Guest · Nov 16, 2019

   Godot IS a 2D and 3D or both development. I don't know why people say is only for 3D

   Positive comment by Guest · May 3, 2021

   Godot is not for everybody, especially if they do not like coding. But as an engine it certainly is far more feature-packed than Gdevelop. As a plus, Godot can do both 2D and 3D, while Gdevelop is limited to 2D only.

   Negative comment by Guest · Jul 7, 2019

   Godot Engine is mainly for 3D games, GDevelop for 2D ones.

   Unity vs GDevelop Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Jun 13, 2016

   Unity requires scripting knowledge and Gdevelop is codeless so everyone can make games easily.

   Negative comment by Arthur Pacay · Mar 3, 2019

   It's complicated and requires much coding.

   Positive comment by Guest · Mar 20, 2018

   With 3rd party plugins we can extend the tool with a visual programming solution that is just as easy to use as the event system of GDevelop and we can export our games to desktop, mobile, HTML5 and game consoles.

    GameMaker vs GDevelop Comments

    Positive comment by Guest · Mar 20, 2018

    No coding required, we can develop games using visual programming and export our games to desktop, mobile, HTML5 and even game consoles. In case the event system would be not good enough we can even use it own scripting language called GML
