Every beta release so far has included a lot of fixes in one or more key areas, and the next major version of the engine starts to finally look complete. Beta 10 will be the last dev snapshot of the year 2022, as a lot of our contributors will no doubt be slowing down for the end of year celebrations and some quality family time.

Rendering: Fix polyline not supporting closed polygons and not having a uniform width ( GH-62236 ). As well as many improvements to the documentation and several new test suites for the engine. The downloads for this dev snapshot can be found directly on our repository: Standard build (GDScript, GDExtension).NET specifically.

If you have existing scenes and resources with navigation polygons and meshes, you might want to skip beta 9 and wait for beta 10 in a few days so that your scenes and resources are ported seamlessly.

You can move the polygon with the node transform, drag the corners to reshape it, add delete points. 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. This should show up initially as a quad. if something that worked fine in 3.4.x

Uses an efficient conservative rendering approximation to ensure thin polygons are not lost, but also avoids growing geometry too much (which reduces bake performance). Lightmaps work "the Godot way" In most game engines, a lightmap is baked for a whole scene and only one can be used at the same time.

This version worked well but we felt it was still far from the usability and features of a modern game engine. The more urgent issue was to improve the 2D engine so we worked hard again and released Godot 1.1, We added support for debugging collision shapes and navigation polygons, both in 2D and 3D, in run-time.
