AUGUST 10, 2022

Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. Project: Allow undocking the Script editor and the Shader editor. In this project, I'll focus to make the Script editor and the Shader editor undockable, and keep the undocked windows after editor restarts. PR: #62378.

SheepIT statistic on 2022-08-30 As you can see from the screenshot above, at the time I'm writing this, there are 584 clients connected that are rendering 491 frames at the same time. Additionally, all scripts are being disabled for security reasons. Anything involving physics should be baked first too.

with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Scripting them is simpler now as well. The new NavigationServer supports fully dynamic environments and on-the-fly navigation mesh baking.

I gave an Old World postmortem at GDC 2022, which is available on YouTube: However, I fully scripted the talk ahead of time, so I decided it would be worth taking the time to post the slides online, in three parts to have mercy on your browser. Editor’s Note: Later in 2022, Old World actually was nominated for a Grammy!)

This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. To help with the common task of accessing specific nodes from scripts, Juan Linietsky ( reduz ) added the concept of "scene unique names" for nodes in the master branch ( GH-60298 ), and Tomasz backported it for 3.5.

Single player was retained in the form of one CoD-authentic onboarding mission to create the right first impression of a CoD-authentic experience, plus shorter story snippets, scripted on MP maps. Arguably, many campaigns Tencent was running back in 2012 are still bigger and more nuanced than what most western F2P games do in 2022.
