Sort of. If you earned >$1 million in revenues in the past 12 months, you have two options:

  • Pay 2.5% of your monthly revenue

  • Pay a runtime fee based on your monthly downloads

So basically, they made it optional, but you still have to pay 2.5% which is still significant. Otherwise you can use the runtime fee and report data yourself (it will probably be cheaper)

I don’t agree with people downvoting you just cause its unity lmfao

Yeah Lemmy is kind of funny in that regard, the downvote is not a disagree button.

I was recently contracted to make a neat prototype of a game. It's a twinstick shooter with MOBA elements, you got minions coming out of towers attacking other minions and the goal is to destroy towers to make your way in and destroy the enemy base.

Screenshot of the game

Navigation in Godot is pretty neat, very hassle-free.

Not a game necessarily, but I decided two days ago to make my own mod launcher for Doom (specifically, GZDoom). I got fed up with the ones that currently exist that lack features I want (not to mention being really old).

UI and theming are definitely not finished, but I'm really happy with how it's shaping up. Made in Godot, as is usual for me.

The Mirror - A Godot fork meant to rival Roblox/UEFN just went open source (www.themirror.space)

This is kind of huge, isn't it? I've been seeing this engine around for a while (it was still in closed alpha I believe) and it seemed really well done. It's a Godot fork that's intended to be a simpler experience like Roblox, where it has visual scripting, handles all the multiplayer itself, and allows you to create worlds...

popcar2 OP ,

  1. Yes

  2. It seems like they have a platform/launcher with user-created content in it. They get 10% marketplace fee but since it's fully open source you can probably publish your game outside of their platform.

popcar2 OP ,

Edit: Oh, i see now why everything seemed so sketchy, they have been promoting this since 2022 as a platform for metaverses, webchain and all that web3 bullshit

That might've been the investor pitch but luckily it doesn't seem like any of that has made it into what exists now. Seems like they're just going to take a percentage of profit from games on their platform.

popcar2 OP ,

It is a fork with added features

popcar2 ,

I did not know, thanks for the heads up - and interesting read.
