How is that “legal” though? Will it not be harassed by Google at some point to turn it down?
My friend had a hand written Java test earlier this year in his company… that’s bollocks
I enjoy C#. Learned it through game development in Unity.
Currently learning GDScript, because reasons… It’s easy and simple, but I still prefer C# though, I’m not a fan of dynamic languages.
I want to start with this: I am sorry.
If that’s not an apology, then I don’t know what is. I’m not defending them by any means, I’ve moved my projects away from Unity over to Godot already and am not planning to go back. But you can’t argue they haven’t apologized. If they proposed their fees in this form right from the beginning, there would probably be no drama at all.
If you give a fixed value they’ll low ball it and you’ll generally end up in.between theirs and yours, so you’ll have to aim high.
Exactly. That’s why you say a specific number, which you hope you’ll get (which is a high end of your range), but in your mind be prepared to accept a lower offer (which is a low end of your range). If you say a range it’s like if you said just the low end of the range, the high end doesn’t matter anymore to the recruiter. That’s at least what I’ve been doing recently and it usually works well.
Yeah, saying a range makes no sense. You hope for the high end, but all they hear is the low end. I always say a specific number.
Not everyone’s opportunities are the same. If you can afford to be pushy and can afford to walk away, then sure - do that. However, I personally would not put the whole opportunity on the line and walk away just because a recruiter won’t tell me a range. In my last interview they didn’t give me any range, while I gave them my expectation, which was a bit inflated, and they just accepted my offer. Could I get more if I knew the range? Probably. But I can’t be mad at them, as they matched my expectation. And I enjoy the job so far.
It all depends on the situation, as you also mentioned. I’m just arguing that saying “walk away if they don’t tell you a range” is a bit of an exaggeration and might do more harm to some people than good.
I got just about 60% by switching the company. Previously biggest bump that I got internally was about 30%, when I put an ultimatum on the table. Without the ultimatum I’d probably get like 10% max. It’s always either switching the job or the threat of switching the job that will make them pay.
I did this several times and never got a proper reply. They say stuff like “It depends on the person and is calculated individually”. You can’t really argue over that unless you’re willing to be very pushy or just straight up walk away from the table - which is something you don’t want to do in most cases.
I don’t know if I understand you correctly, but it’s actually very possible to go back to the previous app with just one swipe. No need to return to home screen. I have iPhone 11 Pro (should work the same for any newer models too) and you just swipe at the bottom from left to right and it will switch to the previous app you had open. You can do the same gesture from right to left to go forward to the next app. You can continue the same to shift through all your recently opened apps.
Amazing, we need more competition on the market. It’s never good to let big corporations run a monopoly.
What types of games do you develop? I just started gamedev as a hobbyist earlier this year, so I’m by no means an expert in the field. I’m not into 2D games, I very much prefer 3D. What scares me is that I don’t see that many well made 3D games in Godot out there. It’s mostly 2D. Nonetheless, the engine seems to be capable of doing about the same of what Unity offers. I hope I’ll be able to soon reach the same level of proficiency in Godot and support the growth of 3D community.
It’s technically Epic, not Unreal Engine, who gave the award. I’m being pedantic, sorry. Nonetheless, it is super interesting they are supporting Godot. They know their tools are on completely different levels and they are not direct competitors. Supporting Godot helps them remove Unity from the game, which already is more of a direct competitor than Godot. Open source is the future, and I’m happy to switch to Godot and support them.
Installed Godot yesterday and it’s starting to grow on me, I like it. Looking forward to a huge movement of studios over to Godot, which will hopefully speed up the development of Godot through further support. Is there any reliable source of data about which game engines are popular at the moment? I want to see that sweet sweet decline in Unity user base over to Godot.

According to the article, he has sold over 50000 within the last year alone, and hasn’t buy back a single one. And that’s already saying something.
He already knew a long time ago that this ship is sinking… What a pity, time to learn Godot.
Great, looking forward to hear your feedback!
