Is there anyone reading this who either has experience with, or knows of someone who has experience with, writing your own renderer for godot? The project creation dialogue lets you choose between three renderers, implying I could create a fourth.

How quickly could you create a fourth exactly ? Just asking.

Uhh, I guess probably between a week and a month? Depending on how good the code documentation and separation of concerns in the Godot engine are, how complex I choose to make the renderer, and how much I am able to focus (eg how much the external world and my health allow me to)

Fuck me that's a tall stretch. You want to write a renderer in a month or less ?

A minimal renderer with no shading, but sure, why not. Once you've made a few game engines the fourth or fifth just starts to seem rote? The hard part is integrating with other systems.

Hey I had an idea for a game. Fighter jets, blue and orange, wireframe with hidden back wireframes. Kind of like a 3D version of a 2D scroller with missiles.

Sounds fun. I bet you could do that with Godot

Now I have to explain to the DWP that I'm not looking for jobs because I'm learning Godot ? 😆

To me Godot is like learning Latin
