Hi! This is nice to have. If other godot games can be built this way, does it make sense to create a godot-build-system?

At least the configure and build phases should be mostly the same. I figured I’d submit this to see if anything can be improved, then try to package a couple more games and see what can be factored out.

Perfect. I applied your patches with minor tweaks. Regards,
