Is solving these problems enough for Godot to become a top AA / AAA game engine?

The existing animation system in Godot was already one of the most powerful of any game engine, but its age was starting to show (it was written 10 years ago and barely improved). Animation editing was one of the first distinctive Godot features. All is done transparently by simply animating property states.

I’m sure everyone is getting tired of playing Animal Crossing, and what better way to exercise your grey-matter than modding your favorite game. The other downside is these really are the dev tools we used to make the game, and like most in-house dev tools, they are poorly documented and very crude around the edges.
