About the CORE Framework
The CORE Framework aims at simplifying development for developers writing their code in the Godot Engine, version 4.2.
Why does it exist?
I (JeremyStarTM) always wrote a new base for every project... which was not only wasting my time as I've rewritten the same stuff multiple times, often times not better than the last. And that's why I created the CORE Framework, to serve as the common base for my projects. My goal is to improve and push it as far as I can to make it a good and polished base for everyone.
Should I use it?
New projects
Your answer is (probably) yes!
Existing projects
No, unless you want to do some major refactoring of your codebase. CORE implements it's own logging infrastructure, scene management and much more requiring you to essentially rewrite everything from scratch.
Comparison
This table only compares frameworks that are relatively up to date with the Godot Engine (versions 4.1 and 4.2), can be found in the Godot Asset Library or are well known and are aimed at a specific game genre or general usage. Things like animation or dialogue frameworks are not in compared here.
There are pretty much no projects like the CORE Framework which we can compare against.
