Goo founder here, can confirm this, was acquired after bankruptcy. Nice to see it live on! (still looks exactly the same which is cool)

It is a pity Amazon didn't make the deal earlier. Can you disclose if the Goo team got anything out of the acquisition? Great to see the project lives on!

We got nothing out of it but experience :P

I'm one of the original devs of Create and yes, they are the same except for the name/logo.

Saying they're the same is like saying Notepad2 and Sublime are the same, both have status bars which indicate place in text, both support copy+pasting of text, etc.

If you have a 3d modeling program of some sort, of course it will have an object manager which shows components like your model, the lights, the sky, a position box that tells you current size/rotation information of whatever component, your current viewport settings, etc. And since it's a cloud thing, like Fusion360 it has an asset manager which probably works more or less the same way.

Unless you're fundamentally reinventing the wheel in some aspect, they ARE going to be the same in a lot of places.

You do not understand. I am not saying it is similar or inspired, it is the same app.

I assure you I am not mistaken in this claim.

I don't know why you have to be so condescending with your comment, but as someone who has used Goo Create, I am willing to bet money that it is the same app.

Hm, was I really condescending in my comment? I've gone back to re-read it and it doesn't strike me as condescending, indeed when I wrote the comment I wrote it simply in a matter-of-factly way with no emotion.

But maybe I slipped. Can you please point out which part was condescending? (serious request; am interested in improving my written speech to be both clear and not condescending in any way)

For what it's worth, I didn't find your comment condescending at all and was puzzled at that remark.

Wow, too similar to not be a descendant.

Do you have any more proof? You keep saying it "IS" Goo Create but based off of what? These screenshots are similar, sure... but far from proof.

It looks like you have experience in the industry, it'd be helpful if you laid out a bit more explanation because clearly you have more info.

I am also one of the developers of the original Goo Create (worked on it between 2014 and the end of 2016) and I can confirm it is indeed the same app (including colors, icons, etc). Amazon basically just added some integrations with AWS and a new logo.

Doesn't really look the same. The both have dark backgrounds but are completely different otherwise.
