There were over 300 commits by more than 30 different contributors, so this was a busy time even while our lead dev was away. For the past few months Bastiaan (Mux213) and Andreas (Hinsbart) have gone through a few prototypes to get their head around implementing AR and VR into Godot - first with a main focus on VR.

I needed something to speed up my workflow and make it less cumbersome to quickly prototype ideas. New features are great but I'd almost like to see the devs focus on stability, performance, and improving the features that we already have rather than continue to work on new stuff. And those engines felt just so.
