MODERATORS
In a GodotCon2025 talk from someone from the GodotFoundation going into the numbers they said the engine is growing 40%-60% each year at the moment and will be as big as Unity in 2028/2029. Really mind-blowing to think this probably largely is due to Unity's self-inflicted enshittyfication.
So I think it’s safe to say Godot is really here to stay. I also feel like they’re really well aligned internally to do just that. In that talk they also talked about how apparently Unity’s budget barely covers just keeping up the status quo. So they aren’t improving and delivering many new featuring anymore.
Oh, wow I did not saw that its really impressive that would have made some investors really happy :)
Really like that the core maintainers are very much behind the idea of FOSS and are embracing letting people alter the code and do whatever they feel like with it. They even link to this lemmy comm on their community page: https://godotengine.org/community/ which is cool to see.
And the licence is open enough so that forking it is not problematic https://www.redotengine.org/ Dont think this i ever needed in a big way but makes the decision on what engine to learn ever so much easier knowing that Godot will stay for quite a while.
