Godot for AA/AAA game development - What's missing?

Mircosoft Game Dev

JANUARY 15, 2023

Many games still use this approach nowadays (after all, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it) but, increasingly, game design has been moving from “individual stages” to “open” or “continuous” worlds where the boundaries between levels disappear. Creating games this way is, as a result, more challenging. Low level rendering access.

Harold Serrano

DECEMBER 12, 2024

I've been building a video game with the Untold Engine, a game engine I developed. I wanted to create a racing car video game for my kids. I showed the current state of the game to my kids. To my surprise, they didn't like the direction of the game. The model had several meshes.

Digital sculpting software, however, uses an extremely high-resolution polygon mesh (or a voxel grid). This mesh can be modeled like traditional clay with a vast array of tools, giving modelers more freedom and flexibility in their work. This process is called retopology and represents an industry of its own.
