I love Godot, and this is great, but it’s also probably inflated a bit because game jams are a great time to try things. New code, short time frame, low commitment.

That’s not to say that it doesn’t count, it totally does, and it’s not to say that it’s not great advertising, and some people were likely impressed and will start using it in their day jobs. But it isn’t necessarily representative of the industry, even the indie industry. For some people it will unfortunately have been a summer fling…

But I bet in a few weeks there’ll be a ton of videos called like “I used this FREE engine and you wouldn’t believe what I thought!!!” 😛
