> Godot to Lumberyard
Do you remember what project(s) this was? I'd be super curious on the motivations of the developers. I guess I could see it when it first went open source and Godot wasn't all it was today.
It was a project I worked on as an intern at Electric Boat. I can only speak to specifics I was explicitly given the okay to share though (i.e. this is all on my LinkedIn).
The project was a virtual training simulation for a submarine cockpit, first in Blender Game Engine. With support for BGE being deprecated, I was tasked to find an alternative engine and to port the work. (I'm very proud my research pointed to Godot- this was during the Godot 2 era).
There was a lot of interest in the project, but my internship was coming to an end and they decided to port it to Amazon Lumberyard for fear of Godot's longevity and support. They didn't want to be left "waiting for Godot". The final task I took on was to document the project, to make that transition easier for whoever came next.
