It’s about allowing players to lose themselves in more than just a game, but a new world. You have to build VR experiences the right way to make this happen. This goal is always top-of-mind for Schell Games. In this interview, we spoke to Schell Games’ Vice President of Product, Charlie Amis, to learn their story.

With this beta 6 build, there are several recently merged changes that will require heavy testing to be stabilized before 3.2.4-stable: New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends, which should fix some issues and improve performance significantly in games using a high number of dynamic objects.

Our last testing build was 3.2.4 We still need a good round of testing on this new build to ensure that everything works as we want it before we make this the new stable branch (which will supersede the current 3.2.3 Improved Web editor and AudioWorklet support for multithreaded HTML5 builds.

At this stage it's really close to stable, we just had a few more regression fixes merged since the previous build that warrant another build for testing: Android: Address remaining scoped storage regressions ( GH-63480 ).

This RC 6 has a few notable changes compared to the previous build: In RC 4, async shader compilation and caching was enabled by default on desktop, but several users reported issues with it on some hardware. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime.

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.
