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

Mircosoft Game Dev

APRIL 21, 2021

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.

Donations and corporate grants play a vital role in enabling us to develop Godot at this sustained pace, since they are our only source of income, and are used 100% to pay developers to work on the engine. Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. More rendering improvements. Revamped collision layer grid in the inspector.

stable branch in January 2020 as a major update to our free and open source game engine. 2D batching for the GLES2 renderer. While most rendering work was postponed for the 4.0 release with its new Vulkan-based renderer, our contributors lawnjelly and Clay ( clayjohn ) decided to give some more attention to the 3.2

2D batching for the GLES2 renderer , thanks to lawnjelly and Clay ( clayjohn ). The new 2D batching is only implemented for the GLES2 renderer, so if you use GLES3 you will not be able to benefit from it in this build. Note that currently, only rects are batched (TileMaps, draw_rect , text rendering, etc.), Notably, Godot 3.2.2

our lead developer Juan Linietsky moved on to developing the upcoming Vulkan renderer for Godot 4.0 But the rest of us engine contributors did not stay idle in the meantime, and a strong focus was put on fixing as many issues as we could to make Godot 3.2 The engine areas are listed in no particular order. in a separate branch.
