   The game development team at the job coaching space is using Godot as the game engine. Just sat in on a meeting about parallax scrolling and how to do that in Godot.

   You'd think I'd be more interested in it as a software developer with 13 years of experience, but I felt indifferent about it.

   I was in another meeting just now about potential projects to work on within software development. It sounded like a very standard web app project to me. Booking system for seats that they want to redesign. Again a feeling of indifference.

     @coldacid Yeah, it's not up to me to choose the engine. I wasn't a part of that decision process, and I'm not sure how much I could have influenced it anyway. Everything here is design by committee.

     @thor me and my friend / game dev collaborationist looked at Godot before. We ended up choosing Defold instead for projects.

     @thor DBC is a great way to create games that will be utter failures
     
     That said, Godot does have its strengths as well as its weaknesses. We chose Defold because it was so much quicker to get going with it for jam games.

     @coldacid It's a non-profit and the main goal is job coaching, so it doesn't have to be a success. But that also makes it feel kind of pointless, like a school assignment or a hobby project. No one actually wants your work output. It also means that the ambition level can't be high. No screening/recruitment process, so it can't be too hard.
