The engines the pub I'm at rn is mostly willing to work with are unity, gamemaker and unreal. We'll only work with Godot if the game is exceptional. Smaller engines are prohibitive because it makes games extremely difficult to port from pc.
Some publishers will be biased towards engines that they already have porting experience in. There are smaller engines that can be more difficult to support with porting or other pipelines.
But ultimately if a pub loves a game and it won't incur some huge cost to support it's not a problem.
talked more about publishing, project positioning, and making friends with people you're pitching.

It’s been a while we chatted back when I was at Astra! I’m now scouting with 🌀 Spiral Up Games, where we fund distinctive, systems-driven PC indies (up to ~$2 M).
I’d love to catch up and hear how things are progressing (would love to play a build).
Parasensor looks absolutely stunning 😱 I’d be so stoked to play a build!
Are you/Ghoulish currently looking for publishing or funding support? Either way, huge congrats, it’s such a gorgeous and distinctive project. 🔥
