Godot 4.0 will get a new, modernized lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

Let's hope this implementation will also be of use to others making their own technology or engines, so they can use it as reference or just copy it. The new lightmapper is GPU based written mostly on Compute shaders (meaning it does most of the heavy lifting using the GPU, via Vulkan). Allows baking dynamic and static lights.

Accelerating Load Times for DirectX Games and Apps with GDeflate for DirectStorage

Nvidia

To show the benefits of GDeflate, we measured system performance without compression, with standard CPU-side decompression, and with GPU-accelerated GDeflate decompression on a representative game-focused dataset, containing texture and geometry data. GDeflate is available as a standard GPU decompression option in DirectStorage 1.1—a

Release candidate: Godot 3.5 RC 7

Mircosoft Game Dev

Ignore support for S3TC texture compression on Android and iOS devices in GLES3 (already done since 3.4 and included in this release candidate are: Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader) ( GH-53411 ). A long awaited solution to shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL, courtesy Pedro J. for GLES2).
