Do you have prior experience with other game engines? I began making games with Game Maker 8, then switched to Unity to create my first 3D game and kept using it until I tried Godot. Now I use Godot as my only Game Engine tool. I am staring at you shader compilation and parenting errors.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine.
