We were so excited by the prospect of making a game that he dove headfirst into pixel art and I into programming. First, Godot uses the pixel as the native unit of measurement, which makes it ideal for 2D games. Godot’s option to toggle between GLES2 and GLES3 also makes it easy to build for specific rendering architectures if needed.
