I've written an article about why I think Godot is a good tool for general app development, not just for building games. The article talks about my experience working with Godot for a mobile app for musicians, as well as some insight from a WIP game project. At the end there is a list of other tools and applications that are built on top of Godot.

I hope you find it useful!

Well written!

Hey, it's also a good idea to post a link to your article on https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/

Pikuma is definitely one of the best resources available on the subject: https://pikuma.com/courses/cpp-2d-game-engine-development

He explains every mathematical concept in an easy to follow format and the course is broad and accessible.

I highly recommend.

I second godot: easy to develop with, easy to make GUIs (or complex text-based layouts). The exported "executables" are pretty small and performance is acceptable for small mobile based projects.

Javidx9 if you are into game programming. His videos are perfect: clear, concise and packed with techniques.

Did this transition 10 years ago (Brazil). It takes some discipline. I guess the $100,000 CAD is not that good if you are working full time for them (specially in the most expensive provinces) because you will not have time for business development - and having just one big client is putting all eggs in one basket.

In USA health insurance is probably the most expensive thing for a contractor but I guess in Canada you have your bases covered.

My advice is to subcontract other people as soon as possible and invest the extra time to learn about sales, marketing and negotiation, then go after new business. Currency exchange rates are excellent for subcontracting from Brazil or Argentina.

Good luck and drop an email if you want to ask anything.

Nice to hear your history. I'm very interested in the details of your transition (pros and cons). Are you from Brazil? Can I send you an email for a little chat?

Thanks.
