Over the course of the last four months the engine has seen many changes, making it more stable and feature complete, and it's getting very close to the state that we would be happy with. More engine enums are now bound with BitField, making their usage more type-safe, especially in C# ( GH-71037 , GH-71045 , GH-71116 ). beta releases.

Previous engines we have developed (we as in Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur) did not really use this architecture and everything was provided via simple classes with inheritance and polymorphism. This was fine, as our engine ran in a single thread (which was common, as most CPU architectures were single-core back then).

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. In Godot, unlike in other engines, probes are also implemented as dual paraboloid. Other popular game engines present hard edges between one probe and the next. TODO for Milestone #3 (December 2016). Add Clustered lighting (before this all is forward).

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. As for DirectX12, it's only relevant for Windows/UWP, so there is no strong incentive for us to support it as a cross-platform engine.
