The beta snapshots cadence allows us to better measure the overall stability and quickly catch regressions, especially when a lot of features are worked on at the same time. Those typically shouldn’t add instability to the engine, but may require doing some changes in your scripts, scenes, and shaders if you were using the affected APIs.

Level editor allowing players to create their own tracks is one of the main features. To solve the problem we rearranged the mesh and added some edge loops along track parts. Adjusting mesh, rig and skinning needed a couple of iterations. The simplifying mesh didn’t make it look worse, but enhanced the game’s framerate.
