I know some people that treat Godot as a general-use framework! The language is easy enough and the engine itself is built with its own UI, so even if you don’t work on a game you may find something :)
@GammaGames Is the language transferable to many things outside of games?
All programming skills are generally transferable! :p
But that’s a cop-out… so I’ll say that while the language (GDScript) is domain specific, it’s similar enough to basic Python syntax (no list comprehension or context managers for example) that you’ll probably feel comfortable if you decide to try it out.
What I meant was that Godot is flexible since it comes with a wide variety of ui components, inputs, and can be exported as desktop, web, or mobile.
Edit: you’re on mastodon, neat!
Interestingly, I learned python first, to get some programming basics down before godot as I'd heard they were similar. Best thing I ever did. I've automated so, so, so many of my previous, tedious work processes with python, and I made a bunch of games!
@GammaGames That makes sense to me.
Thanks for answering!
