in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Dynamic BVH for rendering and GodotPhysics. Rendering: Unified 2D batching. More rendering improvements. Physics: Many fixes to one-way collisions.

New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends, which should fix some issues and improve performance significantly in games using a high number of dynamic objects. In this beta, the dynamic BVH is the default option for both physics and rendering. New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends (new in beta 6).

So many games have that question baked into their core. And many of the regular tricks that devs use to save on rendering costs are lost when building VR games. “It A collision glitch like that in a PC game that may be funny or silly is a lot more intense in VR.” Double the screens, double the render.

We know many users are excited about the coming improvements to 2D and 3D rendering in 4.0. Over the last few years we have completely overhauled the Godot renders. They now target Vulkan by default and we have created them with future support for Direct3D 12 and other rendering APIs in mind. We haven’t forgotten about 2D.
