Thank you for the blog post!

This has inspired me boot up GameMaker Studio 2 again. I usually come back to it now and then just to mess around, not really with the goal of making anything complete.

It's been a while since I touched it last, but I made this back in 2018. Never worked on it past what's in the video but it was still fun to work on!

Give a chance to Godot before committing to a close platform!

How well does godot handle exporting to video game consoles these days? While I cannot speak for the other posters, that was certainly factor in my decision to go with gamemaker studio 2.

From what I've seen, you have to use third party porting services. Godot being open source and not a legal entity prevents them from adding porting support in their engine because the console SDKs are secret and protected by NDAs.

I'm certainly not opposed to checking out alternatives.

Thank you for reading it and I'm so happy to here it inspired you to fire up GMS2 again. Your game looks awesome! That's exactly how I worked on Kells - I just chipped away at it now and then for no other reason than because it was fun! Good times!
