New improvements for GPUParticles in Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

Allows collisions against the physics world. Baked SDF Collision. Still, for complex interiors, creating all the collisions with boxes and spheres can be a hassle. This allows approximate complex collisions with geometry (without having to test the actual geometry, which is expensive). Less flexible. Particles in Godot 4.0

Physics progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

Cylinder collision shape. One of the requirements was adding support for cylinder shapes in Godot's custom collision detection system. Technical details: Godot Physics is almost entirely based on the SAT algorithm for collision detection, but cylinders can't entirely rely on that. Heightmap collision shape.

But the “1” in beta 1 means that it’s only the first step of the journey, and like for the alpha phase, we’re going to release new beta snapshots roughly every other week. Editor: Allow right-click to erase TileSet terrains and TileMap autotiles ( GH-65903 , GH-66656 ). Multiplayer: Allow multiple synchronizers per node ( GH-66794 ).

Godot 3.0 is out and ready for the big leagues

Mircosoft Game Dev

It parses your code and automatically understands what you are trying to do (such as writing to alpha for transparency, reading from screen, etc.) This new implementation is based on Tiled Editor 's Terrains and is fully compatible with previous TileSets. In Godot 3.0, writing shaders is very easy!
