This makes it among the easiest engines to contribute code to. UE4 however is under a more restrictive proprietary license, while Godot is under the incredibly flexible and permissive code license.Īnother aspect in Godot’s favor… it’s also by far the smallest code base and very modular in design from a code perspective. Unreal Engine has the source code available and you can completely build the engine from scratch, as well as being able to fix problems yourself by walking through a debug build and applying fixes. Unity trails in this regard having only select subsets of the code available. Godot is free in both regards, to price tag and license, being licensed under the MIT license. On the topic of free, we also have free as in freedom. If you’re not making money nor plan to, this obviously doesn’t matter… but the more successful your game is, the better a deal free is! Open Source With Unreal Engine you pay a fixed 5% royalty after the first $3000 dollars earned. With Unity, you pay a per seat license fee if you make over 100K a year. Yes, you can start for free with both Unity and Unreal Engine, but both ultimately have a price tag. Obviously, the lack of a price tag is one of the most obvious features of Godot. Additionally, I have a video on Unreal vs Unity in the works, so if you want to decide which of those engines to use, stay tuned for that. Keep in mind, this isn’t me saying Godot is better or worse than those engines. This is a very common question, so this guide and video is setting out to answer why *I* might choose to use Godot over those other engines.
