Do you have prior experience with other game engines? Around 4 years ago, I was learning how to program (in order to do natural language processing) when it suddenly dawned on me that I had probably learned enough to be able to make a game. Each level ends with a gruesome boss. How did you discover Godot? A few come to mind.

A very common complaint when using shadowmaps in Godot is that tweaking shadow bias is extremely difficult compared to other game engines.
