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. You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). and backported to 3.5.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. I can easily throw ~200 sprites (that all share the same spritesheet) on the screen with basic overlap / collision tests at 720p resolution at a steady 30 FPS.
