It is a good time for send the showreel of serious apps in Godot:

I know a free software monitoring tool made with Godot:

I don't know, if I was at an architecture firm or a movie studio and saw this I wouldn't consider switching to Godot. They're fine, there's nothing wrong with them particularly, but they're very indie, very programmer-y, very 2D and not very graphically intensive. I've had a look at some of the Godot graphical showcases and the best stuff there is on par with the late 360 era, probably not on the level of the original release of UE4.

If you're using Unreal Engine it's probably because you want the very best graphics and peformance and you want it to be usable for artists or architects without requiring them to learn to code. I just don't think Godot can compete in those areas until we start to see scenes which are on the same level of graphical fidelity as UE.

The video above is the "Apps & Tools" showcase. Here's the desktop/console games showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAS_pUTFA7o

Yeah, I don't see how that competes with Unreal in this space on any level.

And is here a showreel of using Unreal,
