Using a more specific measurement of real time is more helpful, since the game engine can calculate real time from its (variable) frame time in order to maintain accuracy. Our debug logging keeps tabs on everything in terms of milliseconds so we can see how temporally far apart events in the log fire.

Our SCons setup used to have tools and target options that were combined to build either the editor or the export templates, and define whether it’s a “release” or “debug” build. The “debug” term in that setup was quite ambiguous however and the source of a lot of confusion, as described in godot-proposals#3371. Requires.NET SDK 6.0
