It sounds like a mess, though comments about Godot are often vaguely positive. I appreciate you posting your experience about a limitation you’re running up against.

I can think of only one popular game of note that was made Godot, Slay the Spire 2. I’d love for more titles to be released to prove the engine can be competitive.

The popularity of a game has far more to do with advertising and streaming exposure than the framework used - obviously Godot is capable, thousands of games have been published with it at this point.
Depends on what your threshold for "popular" is.

Other games that come to mind: Golden Idol series, Buckshot Roulette, Dome Keeper, Arctic Eggs, Cruelty Squad. Sonic Colors, kind of.

After some renewed profiling last night I determined that currently the renderer isn't a blocker anymore after a lot of optimizing I've been doing these past months. A lot of that has been pulling stuff out into decoupled and Godot-independent C# threads, so Godot is pretty much just being used for rendering, UI and input handling now.
Brotato is also a Godot game.

You can look up engines on SteamDB.
