February As part of our social media expansion, we also created an official Godot Engine account on the streaming platform Twitch. By the end of the campaign, almost 4,000 cuddly coding companions were headed towards new homes. The feature freeze for 3.6 happened in May, leading up to the most recent release in September.

As always, honoring the Godot tradition, this renderer will be super easy to use and run on as many platforms as possible. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. As such, ports for different platforms must be kept separate as they share little code. TODO for Milestone #3 (December 2016).

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Platforms: Android: Scoped storage, Play Asset Delivery, input responsiveness. To simplify some of the most common constructs in input handling code for character movement, Aaron Franke ( aaronfranke ) added two new helper methods : Input.get_axis() and Input.get_vector(). normalized().

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. Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon.
