3D: Fix collision reposition with CSGShape3D ( GH-102286 ). Physics: Jolt: Fix ghost collision issue on dense triangle meshes ( GH-102614 ). Rendering: Reduce mobile pipeline compilations ( GH-102217 ). This section covers the most relevant changes made since the beta 3 snapshot , which are largely regression fixes.

GH-94783 ) Change NavigationMesh to also parse collision shapes by default. This is part of an effort to encourage users to use collision shapes for NavigationMesh instead of visual meshes as collision shapes are much simpler and thus more efficient for Navigation. ( GH-95013 ) XR: Disable hand tracking by default.

#Drive Rally by Pixel Perfect Dude is a love letter to the golden age of rally games

PreMortem.Games

Ultimately, we decided to create our custom physics engine, using NWH Wheel Collider as a base for collisions and writing every part of car physics from scratch. With a compact team of four full-time developers working remote, the company has produced several games, with #Drive as their breakout hit on mobile.

Chunk tilemap physics The current implementation of TileMapLayer uses individual collision bodies for every single cell, which is extremely wasteful and a likely cause of runtime performance issues for 2D scenes relying on physics. Rendering: Significantly reduce per-frame memory allocations from the heap in the Mobile renderer ( GH-103794 ).
