Like many people, I’ve spent the last few days looking for the new Unity. Godot has some potential, especially if it can take advantage of an influx of dev talent to drive rapid improvement. Open source is cool like that. However, one major issue holds it back - the binding layer between engine code and gameplay code is structurally built to be slow in ways which are very hard to fix without tearing everything down and rebuilding the entire API from scratch.
Necessity is the mother of invention. My hope is that Godot sees more devs wanting to contribute to the project since we’ve now seen firsthand what being under a corporate umbrella can do to your product when it’s not your own umbrella.
