We want to encourage the quick embrace of GDeflate as a data-parallel compression standard, facilitating its adoption across the PC ecosystem and on other platforms. We’re looking forward to next-generation game engines benefiting from GDeflate by dramatically reducing loading times. a modern I/O streaming API from Microsoft.

In mobile game development , where hardware resources are limited, implementing LOD is essential for maintaining a balance between performance and visual fidelity. It’s also beneficial to create multiple LOD versions of assets, allowing the game engine to choose the appropriate version based on the device’s capabilities.

The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine. This allows beautiful mixing between baked and real-time.

In this build, we also built it for 32-bit platforms (armv7 and x86) as there was some demand for it, so you'll find the APK is a bit heavier. This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. The previous beta 3 introduced a brand new Android editor port! back in 2020!
