Dev snapshot: Godot 4.0 beta 10

Mircosoft Game Dev

DECEMBER 23, 2022

Every beta release so far has included a lot of fixes in one or more key areas, and the next major version of the engine starts to finally look complete. We previously removed *_degrees properties from 2D and 3D objects in favor of making editing degrees easier in the Inspector. GH-59810 ). This release is built from commit d0398f62f.

AUGUST 5, 2022

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. Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader). Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.

Godot gets 2D skeletal deform

MAY 3, 2018

This was recently added to GitHub head and, while overall 2D editing is a bit unstable right now (due to a massive reorganization of the 2D editor), it will be soon be possible to fully make use of this feature. Create a Polygon2D node, then immediately assign an image to it (otherwise UV editing won't open). Using with MeshInstance2D.

Godot 3.0 is out and ready for the big leagues

Mircosoft Game Dev

JANUARY 29, 2018

After more than 18 months of development, all Godot Engine contributors are proud to present our biggest release so far, Godot 3.0! It brings a brand new rendering engine with state-of-the-art PBR workflow for 3D, an improved assets pipeline, GDNative to load native code as plugins, C# 7.0 Materials and shaders. GPU particles.

Godot's new renderer, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

OCTOBER 31, 2016

Our goal is to have a modern, clustered renderer that supports everything mainstream engines support, including PBR, global illumination and flexible shader editing. Write a more flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles.

Moving to Vulkan (and ES 2.0) instead of OpenGL ES 3.0

FEBRUARY 25, 2018

Edit: Changed post title for clarity (previously Abandoning OpenGL ES 3.0 Edit 2: This article is now outdated. Single codebase for everything is like a dream come true for writing an engine. as they do in engines that use Direct3D 12. for Vulkan (and ES 2.0) ). We are not abandoning the current OpenGL ES 3.0
