    What types of games do you develop? I just started gamedev as a hobbyist earlier this year, so I’m by no means an expert in the field. I’m not into 2D games, I very much prefer 3D. What scares me is that I don’t see that many well made 3D games in Godot out there. It’s mostly 2D. Nonetheless, the engine seems to be capable of doing about the same of what Unity offers. I hope I’ll be able to soon reach the same level of proficiency in Godot and support the growth of 3D community.

      Now I am confused what a game engine even does? I thought it was a type of rendering software, shouldn’t all of them do 3D?

        There is a lot more to a game engine than just graphics, although that’s an important piece of the puzzle.

        Input, sound, physics, networking, collision detection, path finding, scripting…etc are all important parts that are handled by the engine.

      Godot 4 has brought a lot of improvements to 3D, it’s definitely a good engine for 3D games now. I also prefer 3D btw.
