Seeing that we are able to crowdfund the development of our engine proves us the worth of our voluntary work as free software contributors, and that we are creating something really unique with Godot. To see so many contributors gravitating around our humble piece of free software makes me very confident that Godot 3.0+ Source: GitHub.

Users were beginning to be happy with 2D, so I moved focus to improving the 3D part of the engine, modernizing it and implementing physically based rendering and some more modern features. Fernando Calabró (who made the art for the TPS demo) is now hired to create art for a new third person platformer demo. Godot starts growing.

Especially when working with large datasets, interaction can be difficult as render and compute times become prohibitive. Visualization compute and render times are brought down to interactive speeds, unblocking the discovery process. You can use it by itself to render a variety of precise and high-density chart types.
