Game developer Thomas Grové from Studio Interrupt recreated the same horror game in both Unity and Godot to compare the engines side by side, and the results were surprisingly one-sided. The project, a retro-style horror game called “Eyes Never Wake,” was built in both engines under the same conditions. According to Grové, Godot performed better in most areas affecting everyday development. >The engine started much faster, scripts compiled dramatically quicker, exports finished in seconds instead of minutes, and the install size was only a tiny fraction of Unity’s. >Godot launched in about 13 seconds versus Unity’s 80 seconds, and exporting took around 2 seconds in Godot compared to nearly 15 minutes in Unity. >The developer also found that Godot delivered stronger lighting and atmosphere, showing how much the engine’s visuals have improved.
