New technologies generally bring new problems, and the debugging process is particularly more difficult. Fortunately, NVIDIA has upgraded the NVIDIA Nsight debugging tool in time, making it an easier process for development work. Debugging costs us significant time. From beginning to end, it took us about five to six months.

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. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine.

Do you have prior experience with other game engines? I began making games with Game Maker 8, then switched to Unity to create my first 3D game and kept using it until I tried Godot. Now I use Godot as my only Game Engine tool. I am staring at you shader compilation and parenting errors.
