Cocos

Engine • Added DebugView at runtime UI control rendering debugging function. See the documentation “Render Debugging - Run Time Using Render debugging”: [link] • When the node animates, add the tween ‘destroySelf’ method to destroy the front nodal point. x users upgrade.

Joan Fons is hired to work on Godot's rendering

Mircosoft Game Dev

My latest big contribution to the engine is the new CPU lightmapper, which will be landing with the 3.2.4 release, and should make lightmaps a viable option for 3.2. Debug output of the prototype implementation. Not long after that, I got a job as a Godot consultant at Prehensile Tales, which I kept till last Friday.

Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

Mircosoft Game Dev

This new technique was developed entirely in the open and implemented under our MIT license, so anyone is welcome to use it in their own engines and games. SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). What can it do? Will write an article about this soon.

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

Mircosoft Game Dev

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.
