There's a lot to be interested and excited about when it comes to Godot Engine, the free and open source game engine and now Unity game devs may want to keep watch. Shared on Twitter, which seems to have raised the eyebrows of and excited many developers, is a new project that aims to let you import Unity projects into Godot.
Pictured above is the rather large POLYGON Fantasy Kingdom Unity environment, which is used as one of the examples on the GitHub page of the project. Currently it seems to have been tested working on macOS and Windows, so hopefully anyone doing Linux will be willing to give it a run. This could be a really interesting boost for Godot Engine and FOSS development, if the project continues to go well.
According to the project it so far has all this implemented:
Components:
- GameObject
- MeshFilter
- MeshRenderer
- SkinnedMeshRenderer
- Transform
- Stripped Transform
- Light
- Camera
Importers:
- DefaultImporter
- ModelImporter
- NativeFormatImporter
- PrefabImporter
- TextureImporter
- ShaderImporter
- AudioImporter
The project is under the MIT license.

You didn't read the comments above, did you?Do you know any games using Godot? Would be interested to have a look at them. Official site doesn't seem to mention any games using it, but maybe I missed it.https://godotengine.org/showcase/
edit: Actually - found a list of last year games mentioned here: https://youtu.be/watch?v=UAS_pUTFA7o
Brotato being one of of them - hugely successful game. Seems Godot is already pretty significant player.
Well, your intention was good so thank you I guess.
I wonder, whatever happened to the Ogre engine?
Still getting regular releases:

But apparently not terribly popular for public projects; their survey results seem to indicate it gets used by people for internal projects.

As for made-with-Godot games, I have two in my Steam library, and both are Linux native !
- Precipice, a fun little game about the cold war
- Don't shit on my XXXXing roof : a Vampire Survivors clone (still in early access).

SteamDB tracks game engines used. You can see all the Godot games that it detects here: https://steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Godot/
That only works if the game is exported as an unbundled package, though, so there are going to be more on Steam that SteamBD just can't detect.
