I try to build a basic 3D game in the Godot 4 while waiting for the shaders to compile for my Unreal 4 project. If you’ve used Unreal Engine, you have probably experienced long shader compiling times when changing a project setting or opening a new project.

I recently needed to access an older UE4 project and had to wait nearly a half hour. So I decided to see if I could build a small 3D game in Godot 4 while I waited.

The Godot Engine is a 2D and 3D engine initially released in 2014 and is currently awaiting a stable 4.0 release with additional features.
