I switched form C++ to D on game development one year ago.
I am developing CrystalEngine in D, it's on DUB.
The performance with GC it's good, for now.
Anyway, I try to avoid GC as much as possible.
The main issue for me in game development with D is the 
cross-compilation (e.g. iOS, Windows Universal Platform..).
But also, with (static if/foreach, mixin) and other CTFE stuff, I 
can optimize the code much better than with c++ poor CTFE and 
preprocessor.
