Most importantly, if the game crashes for any reason, the editor does not crash at the same time (which could cause data loss). Game window embedding was implemented to support our recent interactive in-game editing feature. GH-94783 ) Change NavigationMesh to also parse collision shapes by default.

Tiles editor progress report #3

Mircosoft Game Dev

APRIL 12, 2021

Most of TileSet's systems (rendering, collisions, physics, navigation, …) are now using a concept of "layers" (this might be renamed). As an example, you could now define several PhysicsBodies per tile with different collision layers/masks. Right now, there is no way to edit the tiles' properties in an efficient way.

Edit Blocks. You could edit them one by one, but that would not scale well, especially if you had dozens or more blocks to fix. Unity does actually have a feature that allows you to perform a bulk edit. Unfortunately, some of the changes that you might want to make will not be supported by a bulk edit, such as in custom editors.

Godot 3.2 adds support for convex decomposition

Mircosoft Game Dev

APRIL 9, 2019

Here is an example of adding collision shapes to Suzanne by using standard shapes (two capsules, a sphere and a box): It works and it will collide more or less OK, but it's tedious to build and far from perfect. When geometry is not convex, the usual workflow is to create more than one shape to cover the desired concave area.

Previously, only the root node of a scene was editable. Changes to sub-nodes would result in data loss. It is now possible to edit any children node of the instanced scene and have the changes persist. Even sub-instances of instances can be edited with persistent modifications. Multiple scene editing.

Introducing the Godot glTF 2.0 scene exporter

Mircosoft Game Dev

JANUARY 4, 2021

You can now export your Godot scenes to glTF to get it back into Blender or other apps and make edits continuously. For example, creating a blockout or prototyping within Godot, then exporting as glTF to further edit in Blender, and finally bringing the geometry back into Godot. glTF allows the creation of extensions for any purpose.
