I'm keeping my eyes on O3DE as Godot's designs aren't conducive to high performance operations, or lots of actors (at least, I haven't had a need for a lot of actors, but I do find myself needing to use Observers). But in terms of trivial design, Godot is much closer to Unity, and in a lot of ways, its Node system gives it an edge for extendibility and ease of use.

Godot is optimized for easy of use and common game dev problems. It should be able to handle several 10s of 1000s of actors without a hiccup, but once you get into the millions, you may need to write some of your own modules. Luckily godot’s codebase is just about as pleasant as c++ can be for a project as complex as a multi platform game engine with multiple rendering backends. In this interview the devs of cassette beasts touch on it a bit https://godotengine.org/article/godot-showcase-cassette-beasts/ https://godotengine.org/article/godot-showcase-cassette-beas...

  godot is not really nice to use in C++

  Did Godot finally migrate from c++03? I know it's pretty subjective but c++03 doesn't make for a super pleasant codebase imo. Doesn't detract from your point, I'm just wondering if they completed the switch to a more recent standard. I remember they were planning on doing it

    Yes, via https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.1/contributing/development/cpp_usage_guidelines.html https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.1/contributing/development...: > Since Godot 4.0, the C++ standard used throughout the codebase is a subset of C++17. > [...] > Prior to Godot 4.0, the C++ standard used throughout the codebase was C++03, with a handful of C++14 extensions.
