Over the course of the last four months the engine has seen many changes, making it more stable and feature complete, and it’s getting very close to the state that we would be happy with. The illustration picture for this article is from The Mirror , an upcoming all-in-one game and game development platform currently in Closed Alpha.

First of all, most of the new features still have significant bugs and performance problems that will not be solved in time for the upcoming 4.0 Mesh streaming : Models are loaded as low detail (few vertices). Is solving these problems enough for Godot to become a top AA / AAA game engine? The answer is “it depends”.

Game development is fantastic because it allows me to bring all of that together into a single project.

By adding a simple cache to it, we made it so that light map texture coordinates are only computed when there's an actual change to the geometry of the mesh. While making medium to large scale games in Godot, many small bugs start to creep in that cannot be caught by the compiler. Student: Suhas Prasanna ( psuhas77 ).
