Why does Godot not use ECS ? Godot uses more traditional OOP by providing Nodes, that contain both data and logic. It also makes heavy use of inheritance. It still does composition, but at a higher level (the nodes you compose are generally higher level than components in traditional ECS).

Problem: there is no ECS pipeline in UE4 .

Entity Component System ‹ › ECS is the core of the Unity Data-Oriented Tech Stack. As the name indicates, ECS has three principal parts: Entities: The entities, or things, that populate your game or program. Components: The data associated with your entities, but organized by the data itself rather than by entity.

Entity-Component-System (ECS) is a type of game architecture that focuses on composing entities with data only components, and processing logic separately in systems . Though, while working on my own little game engine, I noticed that a lot of the methods presented for implementing ECS frameworks are not trivial.9 Şub 2020

There are cases where ECS would be a better fit to use while there are cases befitting OOP as well. For game development, ECS would be the way to go . High-profile game developers greatly encourage the application and design following ECS instead of OOP as it provides more flexibility and better performance.

One thing known to most is that EnTT is also used in Minecraft . Given that the game is available literally everywhere, I can confidently say that the library has been sufficiently tested on every platform that can come to mind.
