alpha builds , we're trying to release 3.5 beta builds every other week to ensure that new features can be tested, bugs can be reported and bugfixes can be validated. This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. We're getting closer to the Godot 3.5

The last time we met, we were right in the thick of preparing an early, pre-demo build of Kristala for unveiling at the PlayNYC virtual convention. Because of their importance to both the story and the game, it was important to us to make sure the models for the six Sacred Crystals were not only unique, but beautiful and enchanting too.

  I have to admit it was frustrating to work with a machine that cannot handle much heavy calculations at once (my Macbook from 2011) from time to time, but on the other hand this forced me to get into optimizing the game very soon, what might become a good base for expanding the complexity in near future. Draw call batching.

In game engines (or even when exported from the 3D modelling application), animation data is baked to a simpler representation because, for games, processing beziers and IKs is way too expensive for real-time. alpha is around the corner now (we have been pushing pre-alpha builds recently), so looking forward to a release soon!

with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. You may have already seen some of this content on social media, in blog posts, or in alpha release notes. s development boils down to refactoring and rewriting existing features to make them a much better base to build on. What's new?

The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. It parses your code and automatically understands what you are trying to do (such as writing to alpha for transparency, reading from screen, etc.)

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. Truth is, the main advantage of using them is the ability to build render command lists using multiple CPU cores.
