Through Occlusion Culling the performance improves due to effective rendering of objects which extend past visible camera range. Open-world multiplayer games experience smooth performances when they implement LOD together with occlusion culling systems. Proper memory management ensures smooth, stutter-free multiplayer gameplay.

Over the course of the last four months the engine has seen many changes, making it more stable and feature complete, and it's getting very close to the state that we would be happy with. More engine enums are now bound with BitField, making their usage more type-safe, especially in C# ( GH-71037 , GH-71045 , GH-71116 ). beta releases.

If you ever lurked in Godot source code, and tried to follow the flow of the logic, you most likely noticed that most code related to scene, formats, etc. This was fine, as our engine ran in a single thread (which was common, as most CPU architectures were single-core back then). Servers and RIDs. Architecture. Multi-threading.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point.
