I tried version 3.2 and the developer experience was already amazing compared to Unity. I am happy to see they finally released v4.0. It’s also worth mentioning that the tools for tile-based 2D games have been improved a lot since 3.2

this provides an interesting alternative to the indie developer in approaching game development, that’s more beginner friendly and with a lower entry barrier. Knowing Godot has made it to version 4.0 is exciting.
