Utilizing Shaders Wisely Shaders are powerful tools that can enhance the visual quality of a game, but they can also be demanding on mobile devices. To balance performance and quality, it’s essential to use shaders judiciously. What role do shaders play in enhancing mobile game visuals?

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. Shader abstraction. Most game engines nowadays start with HLSL or CG as a base and offer it to the user directly.
