New improvements for GPUParticles in Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

GPUParticles : Processes particles on GPU, allows very large amount of particles at little cost, and with ability to write custom particle shaders. 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.

Navigation Server for Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

Runtime navigation mesh baking. Collision avoidance support. Now the NavigationRegion can be added during gameplay, and it's possible to change its transform or even bake the navigation mesh data at runtime. The agent is also responsible for avoiding collisions. Collision avoidance dynamic map updates. Character.

Godot 3.3 has arrived, with a focus on optimization and reliability

Mircosoft Game Dev

Physics: Many fixes to one-way collisions. Fixes to KinematicBody collisions. Cylinder collision shape for GodotPhysics. It was reusing parts of the code for baking GIProbes, and that made it quick but not great in terms of quality. Many fixes to one-way collisions. One-way collisions prior to Godot 3.3

The next big step: Godot 4.0 reaches Beta

Mircosoft Game Dev

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. You can even create complex dynamic effects by writing custom shaders that operate on FogVolume nodes. Those now come with support for attractors, collision , trails , sub-emitters and manual emission.
