This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Switch on physics/common/physics_interpolation , and Godot will now automatically interpolate objects on rendered frames so they look super smooth.

While this is not a feature per se, it fixes a major annoyance that users have had with pointers to freed objects unexpectedly being re-assigned to new objects, causing hard-to-debug issues.

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.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design.

Previous engines we have developed (we as in Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur) did not really use this architecture and everything was provided via simple classes with inheritance and polymorphism. This was fine, as our engine ran in a single thread (which was common, as most CPU architectures were single-core back then).
