If you use and enjoy Godot, plan to use it, or want support the cause of having a mature, high quality free and open source game engine, then please consider becoming our patron. Godot can render at frame rates independent from the fixed physics tick rate. This ensures your game will run the same on all machines.

The approach chosen by Godot for live editing makes it really easy to create content on the fly, have it replicated in the running game, and keep your changes when the game is done running. The disadvantage is that, unlike other engines, it's more difficult to see the values of scenes and nodes in the running game.
