    I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard anyone say Godot is fairly unkind to older hardware before.

    Sure, yeah, if somebody is futzing around in 3D, in the Forward+ renderer, and has no idea what they are doing, yeah.

    But… broadly?

    How… old of hardware are you talking about?

    Like, 15+ years old?

    Also, SDL isn’t … a game engine.

    Its… a rendering/input/output layer/library.

    Sure, if you want to write your own game engine, you could use SDL… but… that’s a bit much to ask of a novice indie dev, who wants to complete a 3D game that’s maybe roughly as or more graphically advanced than say, Fallout New Vegas, in under what, 3, 4, 5 years?
