Delores had/has two full-time paid testers and before any build was uploaded to a store, it got a good deal of testing around the fix, plus a complete play through of 30 photos was required on each platform. Each of the stores uses the same "bits", but we still had to download each platform from each store and do a run through.

Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Core: Fix platform-specific issues with OS.set_current_screen() ( GH-63192 ).

using data oriented algorithms to process the culling of objects and both secondary command buffers and automatic batching to efficiently submit the draw primitives. Is solving these problems enough for Godot to become a top AA / AAA game engine? This mean that the tools provided, while certainly capable, are still game neutral.

The new 3D engine is outstanding, with many features out-of-the-box that are still not common in other mainstream engines. The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. Here is an example using the older 3D platformer demo: VR support.

Don't worry, though, you will be able to reap the benefits of these new features without sacrificing your game's performance. Several new optimization techniques are also at your disposal, such as occlusion culling , automatic mesh LOD , and manual HLOD using visibility ranges , made possible by Joan Fons ( JFonS ), and Juan.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine. I'm not trying to say that these APIs are useless, though.
