#21. Why would you run Godot on the back-end.. Seems kinda crazy.
2. Writing your own HTTP Promise library seems insane. Whatever language you're using there must be one already.

#3Looks weird to do a "youtube" video about it.
Looks like a desperately needing attention marketing stunt.

#4This appears to be a sandbox game / engine, which probably has a lot less reason to use an existing engine like godot than a normal game since it would probably end up duplicating a lot of the development tools provided by something like godot anyway.
It also appears to be in pretty early development.
So, even if it's a big project I'm not sure it's notable in the same way it would be if a major commercial game that had already been released using godot was switching off it of for some reason?

1. Maybe validating that client actions are legal?

#7I am not sure it is one of the largest projects.

This doesn't come across as that big of a project in terms of user base.
For example, this Godot-based game on Steam has 12K reviews. It is definitely much bigger than The Mirror: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1637320/Dome_Keeper/
And another with 24K reviews: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/
(Also is the guy in the video okay? His eyes are really red.)

I've been pulling some all nighters for getting our V2 across the line :) Size-wise, we had over 20 developers working on it at one point and we raised over $2.3M to build on Godot, so I do believe it's one of the largest by team size. https://venturebeat.com/games/the-mirror-raises-2-3m-pre-see...

Game server - there's still a separate NestJS backend for the web. The code is here: https://github.com/the-mirror-gdp/the-mirror

Yes exactly, that's what we assumed

Yep, we made it server-authoritative intentionally for physics-based games and to prevent cheating
