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

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 ). In order to benefit you should be moving your objects and running your game logic in _physics_process().

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.

As such, most of the focus was on implementing missing features or bugfixes which are critical for publishing 2D and 3D games with Godot 3, and on making the existing features more optimized and reliable.

  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.

with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. The ugly reality of software development is that legacy code builds up really quick and keeping it up to date, ready for new challenges that arise several years down the line takes a lot of effort. It has been a long road to Godot 4.0

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.
