New improvements for GPUParticles in Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

Allows collisions against the physics world. They are dynamic and can be moved around in real-time, colliding with any particle system which matches the cull mask. Baked SDF Collision. Still, for complex interiors, creating all the collisions with boxes and spheres can be a hassle. Less flexible. Particles in Godot 4.0

Godot 3.4 is released with major features and UX polish

Mircosoft Game Dev

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Revamped collision layer grid in the inspector. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall).

The 7 deadliest game dev sins. Are you guilty of any of them?

Awesome Tuts

It means you type a string manually every time you need it e.g. when checking collisions, getting a game object in the scene, getting a child object from a parent, etc. Learning how to use occlusion culling will also help you in this case. 4 Do not, and I repeat, DO NOT use hard-coded strings. What does that mean? The solution?
