Glad to see there are some level heads leading this project. Also great answer to how to pronounce it, the GIF creator should’ve gone for that instead of the pun.
Yeah except it’s named after the play so it’s definitely pronounced God-oh. I think people just mispronounce it Go-dot if they haven’t heard of the play. Looking at you Mr Linus Tips.
From the article linked on this very post:
Those open source values even extend to how you pronounce the engine’s name. We asked if Godot is pronounced “Go-dough,” like the play, or “Go-dot.”
“It’s open source,” Verschelde said with a grin. “Pronounce it however you like.”
They’re being diplomatic. From Wikipedia:
The name “Godot” was chosen due to its relation to Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot, as it represents the never-ending wish of adding new features in the engine, which would get it closer to an exhaustive product, but never will.
Unity was one of the first applications that made me take a good look at FOSS in general because my experience with it was:
“Hey let’s make a game for our final project”
“Okay, let’s try Unity”
Flashbanged in light mode
Dark Mode is only available for real cash money subscription license
“Yeah okay nvm let’s try something open source lol”
They really paywalled dark mode? That move alone is incredibly dumb. Surefire way to alienate potential new users before they’ve even tested anything serious.
Used to. It took a single registry tweak to enable it which was easily found, but still a pain.
