- not user friendly, need knowledge of computer scripting for even the most basic use of godot Guest • Jun 2019 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- RPG maker is an easy to use software that doesn't require any proper coding to produce a full game. although you can use programming if you want to for more intricate or complex features. Godot however, to my knowledge, isn't as code-free as RPG. Not a good alternitive if you're in it for the code-free experience. Guest • Jul 2019
- RPG Maker is a 2D GUI for making RPG games. Godot is "just" a game engine. It's not intuitive, not easy and you need programming skills for that. Guest • Jan 2019 • 9 agrees and 5 disagrees
- It seems more of a kid-friendly alternative. Plus, it is licensed by MIT. Guest • Jun 2019 • 0 agrees and 3 disagrees
