Godot Community

@AnonyBunny said in Godot 3 or Godot 4: Which Version Should You Choose?:

I'd say Godot 3.5 because my computer can't run Godot 4 (pain and suffering)

For those whose computers don't support Vulcan, I came across this "solution"(?). My development computer runs Godot 4.x fine, so I haven't needed it, but I'd be interested to know if it works.

BTW, it does work for certain Android Godot 4 (as in the Godot 4 APK from Google Play) projects, though I cannot attest to the stability of it as I'm still new to game programming. It does, however, allow you to load projects such as the City Builder Starter from Kenney (if you couldn't before). I did this by following the advice from the second example in the link above (adding "–rendering-driver opengl3" to the Godot 4 Advanced Run argument setting).

Well blow me down - I didn't notice all the other "Introduction" topics. Information overload!

Started an "Introductions" topic here: https://godot.community/topic/127/introductions?_=1696626622787

This site, like most, needs a place for members to introduce themselves. As the community is new (or beginning again?), I figured I might as well be the person to create the topic.

I'm Trasd and I'm new to Godot. I've got 40+ years of programming experience, but 0 in game development! I've been wanting to write games for years, since I got my first computer in 1979 (a TI-99/4A), but I somehow never found the time. I have studied game concepts for years, but all my knowledge is theoretical and it's high time to put some of that theory to the test.

I had a number of false starts with other engines, but once I read about Godot 4+, I knew I had finally found what I was looking for.

Wish me luck!
