New improvements for GPUParticles in Godot 4.0

Mircosoft Game Dev

GPUParticles : Processes particles on GPU, allows very large amount of particles at little cost, and with ability to write custom particle shaders. 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. Less flexible.

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).

Godot's new renderer, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

Write a more flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language. Write a more efficient Mesh format, which allows faster loading/saving. Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. TODO for Milestone #3 (December 2016).

Godot 3.3 has arrived, with a focus on optimization and reliability

Mircosoft Game Dev

Physics: Many fixes to one-way collisions. Fixes to KinematicBody collisions. Cylinder collision shape for GodotPhysics. was still far away, so we tasked Joan Fons ( jfons ), as part of the GSoC program, to write a new CPU lightmapper for Godot 3.x. Various light culling fixes. Many fixes to one-way collisions.
