While this is not a feature per se, it fixes a major annoyance that users have had with pointers to freed objects unexpectedly being re-assigned to new objects, causing hard-to-debug issues. GLES2 batching is enabled by default both in-game and in the editor. C#: Allow debugging exported games ( GH-38115 ). Other changes.

Our SCons setup used to have tools and target options that were combined to build either the editor or the export templates, and define whether it’s a “release” or “debug” build. The “debug” term in that setup was quite ambiguous however and the source of a lot of confusion, as described in godot-proposals#3371.

This post gathers best practices based on our experiences so far using NVIDIA RTX ray tracing in games. It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation. Update the BLAS only for visible objects.

stable branch in January 2020 as a major update to our free and open source game engine. Such pointer could be reported as valid even though the memory it points to was not, or worse, that memory could now hold a different object, leading to hard to debug situations. C#: Allow debugging exported games ( GH-38115 ).

Before going into optimizing for multiple threads, let's first take a look at the typical order of execution of the main blocks of a game engine. Research on game engine optimization for multiple threads at the time resulted in documentation and papers for a new technique named job scheduling. How is this achieved?

In order to benefit you should be moving your objects and running your game logic in _physics_process(). This ensures your game will run the same on all machines. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. It is really as simple as that to get started, place them wherever you like in your game level.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. As great as this is, though, only very high-end and high-budget games will really make use of it.
