Godot for AA/AAA game development - What's missing?

Mircosoft Game Dev

using data oriented algorithms to process the culling of objects and both secondary command buffers and automatic batching to efficiently submit the draw primitives. This is handled nowadays by a type of technology called “streaming”. Few other technologies work as well in this area. Specialized artist UIs.

Realistic Lighting in Justice with Mesh Shading

Nvidia

Recently, NetEase introduced Mesh Shader support to Justice. Soon we found we can combine Mesh Shaders with auto-generated LODs to achieve almost only-resolution-relevant rendering complexity, instead of polygon number. With so much potential of Mesh Shader, we conceive that it would be the main stream of future games.
