Juan "The Great", aka @reduzio, once said:

"The world does not care about you or what you think, or about your world views. Keep those to yourself."

These are petty tyrant's advice that undermine critical thinking, creativity, individuality...

Opinion on the above @reduzio advice from someone who does not have an idea what #Godot represents.

In retrospect, I was highly attached to #GodotEngine, and I used to think that there's something wrong with me.

Having access to outside opinion is crucial.

So yeah, I did reach out to someone from the outside, as you see above. Otherwise, I'd still be contributing to Godot and continue being deluded by Juan's cult indoctrination.

Reaction and opinion from the same person on the screenshot above when @Akien removed my maintainer privileges.

Godot leadership betrays their ideology!

Lead developer @reduzio and project manager @Akien launched a commercial company called W4 Games!

Free and #OpenSource game engine wants to have a cake and eat it too!

#GodotEngine #CancelGodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot #GameDev Image
W4 Games website.

Notice how Godot leadership deliberately leaves out important information when they say it's a company of "Godot veterans", but those "Godot veterans" and Godot leadership are the same persons.

Feel free to familiarize yourself with my previous threads on this topic to understand why Godot is not community-driven and my explanation of why the mentality of Godot leadership is not open as you might have expected:

I recall a proposal in Godot which suggested to hire a full time marketing person. This is exactly how cult communities tend to fixate on promoting their ideology. Why not just make the product speak for itself?

#GodotEngine #GodotCult #CancelGodotEngine

Even then, Godot doesn't need a marketing representative, because Godot's toxic leadership achieved this by making a cult out of Godot already. Proposals like above are simply a byproduct, because the process of promoting Godot is built into their ideology.
Godot followers will go out of their ways and suggest Godot in other unrelated communities. They'll write bad reviews on other engines to make Godot stand out. They achieve their superficial and unrealistic image of superiority by putting others down.

Behavior of Juan, aka @reduzio, lead developer of @GodotEngine, can be summarized as undue influence, which manifests as hypocrisy, lack of empathy, inattentiveness, irresponsibility.

Below is my critical analysis.

#GodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot #GodotCult #CancelGodotEngine
Juan posses a belief that he's destined to help people to make great games. He attempts to create a game engine which could allow users to create both casual and AAA games with little to no effort. But if you run after two hares, you will catch neither.
Juan focuses his efforts of making the engine accessible to everyone. He will always prioritize features that make the image of Godot look nice in the eyes of beholder, like editor features or movie maker mode, at the expense of neglecting core parts of the engine.

The reason why the lead developer doesn't want to make Godot's logo look professional like in other game engines is because such playful image of Godot allows to revert people back to childhood dependence and mindless obedience.

#GodotEngine #GodotCult
I'm not making this up! This is a definitive sign of cult communities. Juan, aka @reduzio, is a cult leader of Godot, and members adore Juan. Watch this educational satirical video on cults starting from here:

At the same time, Juan tells people not to call Godot a cult... This is hilarious! 🤣

Godot IS a cult. Godot shares all signs of being one.

The game creator of RimWorld says that #GodotEngine is trying to be all things to all people, but it's also trying to hit AAA features, and the lack of decided focus which manifests as misspent effort.

Read full review at Godot's subreddit: reddit.com/r/godot/commen…
I confirm Tynan's viewpoint on this. Godot severely lacks vision for the project. This issue can be resolved by defining and writing down Godot's development philosophy. But the problem is much, much deeper than that.

Expressing that people are sane is seen as an insinuation and a slippery slope in #GodotEngine community. 🤦‍♂️

But when #Godot community calls others insane when they talk about Godot shortcomings, it's fine. 🤷‍♂️

To quote @Akien: "Let's not go there please." 😉

#TruthAboutGodot
To give this context, we talked about master/slave terminology in Godot and IT. You can even see articles such as these:

glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/12083
Ironically, what you read above totally describes Godot. It's one of the biggest echo chambers out there in #OpenSource game #GameDev community, because dissenting opinion about Godot is seen with hostility. This is also the reason why I say that Godot leadership is hypocritical.
