Figured I'd put some of my own info into a comment for discussion:
For my current project I've written my backend/game engine in a clean c# project (just updated to .net7 after nuking unity), so that's influencing my move pretty strongly. I'm planning on mainly focusing on 2d so while the ability to make some 3d modes would be really nice, it's not a deal breaker for me currently.
I was kind of trying to force code first anyways, so I'm actually thinking of looking into monogame first (I have a bit of xna under my belt).
Other than that godot seems to be the popular choice, but I'm a little sketched out by their c# support with the 4.x incompatibilities and such. I also don't love having to learn a whole interface/scripting language, but it is what it is.
Stride caught my eye too, but I'm a little wary of its lack of popularity.
Update: After reading a ton of docs and forums on monogame, I've found a number of features I want to implement would take a lot of workarounds and require doing things that aren't recommended. Along with some other hangups, I've decided I'm probably going to dive a bit deeper into godot first.
Engine tools of choice
With the current Unity stink, I finally am making the move to get out (have wanted to for years anyways).
I was just interested to hear some experiences, thoughts and opinions on everyone's game engine/framework/etc of choice.
Your usage of majority here is pretty disingenuous, well frankly your entire point.
To do exactly what you're doing: The majority of drinkers who have a beer a week are alcoholics who can't operate well without a daily drink.
Not to mention to liken having a beer a week to daily edibles is insane. A more apt comparison would be a drink or two a day vs an edible a day. Or at the other end, an edible a week vs a beer a week.
I had assumed these guides were in video form. If they're written guides I might actually be more interested since I prefer that too
Has anyone used Stride3d enough to recommend it?
I'd rather have healthcare cut out all of the wasted excess fees and corporate fat than nitpick who gets what kind of care, but that's just my 2c
I still have jump on ps:x or Xbox:a, and mapped boost to rb/r1. Then drift and air roll on lb/l1
I changed my control scheme in rocket league like 1k hours in. Really needed the ability to boost while jumping among other things. It was a totally brutal transition, but I'm glad I did it.
Could maybe try kekkai sensen, has a second season called beyond iirc
