Godot Engine

[BadMilkDwarf]

How can I install Godot Engine on FreeBSD? I'm trying to start my game Dev journey, i am still using Linux to use Godot 4... Is there any game developer using FreeBSD ?

(as root) pkg install godot

Oh, thats so sad to read... I hope someday it changes... Thank you a lot for replying .

For your first question, there is
/devel/godot and
devel/godot-tools
Install simply by
pkg install godot godot-tools

If you want to look more into who is using it, you might check with the maintainer of the godot port for info.

Usually the first stop for any "does this software exist on FreeBSD" is https://freshports.org
Simply enter "godot" in the search box

If a port for some 3rdparty/upstream software does not exist yet, creating a new port is a possibility too (that is how any port came to existence). There's the porters handbook explaining the process: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/

Nice ! Thank you , someday i'll try to port something... I'm very busy with college right now... But I really care about free and open source software, and i want to collaborate... Someday...

I tried running it but it's unusable slow on FreeBSD even just in the text editor. I think it's because it's using software rendering only. I don't know how to make hardware rendering work.
