It's great to see how many started using unreal as well. Unity is truly bleeding

It's difficult for Unity to reclaim trust in an industry where you commit to a piece of technology for years. Especially given the lackluster limbo state of many of their core features like networking, rendering and multithreading.

With my switch to linux, godot is my only option. So, guess I'll start learning Godot now!

if things keep going like that Godot may overshadow unity 👀 very excited for that since Godot is actually a peak game engine imo

I wonder how much of this jump is due to Unity's shenanigans from recent times

Glad to have contributed to this by trying godot for the first time this year instead of Unity. It has so many nice features, probably gonna use it for most future jams.

The main thing holding Godot back is C# web export. GameJams like web hosted submissions and I imagine a lot of devs are wanting to bring their C# xp to Godot.

Congrat to unreal for having it's own percentage

I've wanted to participate just to learn coding, I did not end up submiting the game but I sure learned a lot about about what a transform.localScale does lol

Unity - Greedy Unreal - Too big, Too real Godot - Perfect Godot is the new king of indie game engine of choice, and the next GTMK game jam, @godotengine will dominate!

This is super cool to see. I first started working with @godotengine in fall 2021 and instantly fell in love. Was using Unity before—it was not a fit for me, and I felt miserable making games with it.

Common Godot has support for c# for a long time (it's time to let unity users learn GD script)

Can we get a breakdown of the "Other" category? I myself used @phaser_ for my jam game, and I'm wondering how many others, and how many didn't use a premade engine at all.
