In this article you will find information about the following topics: How console development works. It must support the platform APIs , such as save files, online APIs, peripherals, dedicated hardware, etc as best as possible. The subject of running Godot games on consoles pops up very often. What is the consoles market like?

I finished integrating Embree into the engine's build system and also added a simple ray tracing API that allows for defining a set of meshes and perform ray intersection tests among them. This API currently uses Embree as a backend, but should allow adding a different backend (GPU-based maybe?) Git interaction API plugin: [link].

If you are hoping to get a job as a game engineer, your best bet will be to pursue post-secondary education in a related topic. A game engineer is a very important role that requires knowledge of a lot of technical subjects. Despite the name, you shouldn’t feel the need to get an engineering degree to be a game engineer.

Since the volume of data would be lower than the in-game interactions and is transactional in nature, we propose that an API Gateway is used to trigger a separate Lambda function which enters this information into the graph database. API Gateway is a scalable frontend for APIs which handles scaling, traffic management, and authorization.

The progress of last month was largely defined by stabilizing the 3D renderer with many smaller fixes, but work on the PRB side of things has begun and the GDNative system also saw some quality-of-life changes again, with improvements to the GDNativeLibrary resource as well as an API to provide safe type-casting in NativeScript.
