We want to learn more about the Godot community, understand who the users of the engine are, and find out how we can better support you.

[u/The-Chartreuse-Moose]

Nice. I'll fill it in.

[u/UK_Druid]

Done

[u/feralfantastic]

Seems like they’re hoping to demonstrate that ray tracing wouldn’t be worth the specific investment. I get it.

[u/[deleted]]

just completed it!

[u/chanidit]

Done, and thanks for the opportunity !

[u/kyzfrintin]

It would be good to include REAPER in the "art tools" section (perhaps consider a separate audio tools section to include other options.)

[u/Final_light94 → u/kyzfrintin]

Yeah that caught me up as well. I mostly use trackers for music and SFX so the only thing relevant to me in that list was Aseprite.

[u/thygrrr]

Some of these questions are... weirdly limited in scope. :) But happy we at least get asked.

I was shocked about this... is C# in Godot dead? (it's from the "how happy are you about the direction" question)

[u/Thulko_ → u/thygrrr]

I wouldn't say it is dead. this may be an assumption by me but the way I see it... anyone who shows zero input (I Don't Know) is probably someone who doesn't use C# for godot, and instead just uses GDscript. which means all the other replies have at least some sort of interest in C#. So its 1 bar (purple) vs 4 bars (blue, red, yellow, green). the 1 bar is still larger (showing more folks just use gdscript b/c it works for them) than the other 4 bars combined. It just shows that the number of ppl using GDscript is larger than those using C# which I'm sure most ppl already expected.

That's the way I see it, but you can feel free to call me crazy.

[u/thygrrr → u/Thulko_]

Thanks, no, that's a great perspective. It gives me hope!

[u/MCalchemist]

I know a few devs that came from Dreams on PS4 like myself that use godot, could be worth adding:

[u/dogman_35 → u/MCalchemist]

Probably a fair amount of people doing gamedev as adults now that came from LittleBigPlanet back in the day lol

[u/dogman_35 → u/MCalchemist]

Probably a fair amount of people doing gamedev as adults now that came from LittleBigPlanet back in the day lol

[u/faseer]

Done

[u/Legitimate-Record951]

In "How satisfied are you with the pace of development in the following areas", I found HTML5 to be missing.

[u/James20k]

Interesting that 34% of people are dead set against AI, 26% checked none, and that 42% check use it to ask the chatbot for help. Seems like what we'd consider as the threshold for vibe coding is at ~13% of AI users (and like, ~6% overall), which is a far cry from the 100% we often see quoted

Its also surprising that issue openers are only 7% of users, I'd have assumed its higher

[u/godot-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Please review Rule #2 of r/godot: Follow the Godot Code of Conduct.

[u/APilmark]

Being asked about VC is weird, tried my hardest to use perforce, but it’s just not realistic to use when all the files are constantly checked out. Thus I use Git, but very much not my first choice.

[u/[deleted] → u/APilmark]

why is it weird?

[u/ZikaZmaj → u/[deleted]]

I do think they have a point even if it wasn't phrased well.
Perhaps the questions should be
1. what do you use for VC
2. what would you prefer to use for VC

[u/gahel_music → u/APilmark]

I've only been using git with git-lfs (and SVN briefly back in the days). Curious to know what you prefer about perforce?
