I remember the first time I read this I just chuckled. That was 10 years ago and the myth keeps going. It’s been printed (well, web printed) so many times that it is slowly going to become fact and I want to set the world straight. What is true During the early days of Monkey Island I didn’t have a name for Guybrush. We just called him the “guy” When Steve Purcell was doing concepts for “the guy” he was doing them in dpaint.

While the focus of Godot 4.0 Vulkan rewrite has largely been enhancements to the 3D engine, the 2D side will also see several improvements. Improved Performance. Thanks to Vulkan (which has a much lower draw-call cost than OpenGL), 2D itself in Godot 4.0 will see a speedup for free. But that's not the only reason, many internal improvements and optimizations also contribute to a smoother experience.

To dive deper into marketability, please check out our podcast with Joe Schaeppi (CEO of 12traits ) and Jesse Lempiäinen (CEO of Geeklab ). Three facts: 1. Marketability (CPIs) is the single most important metric of your business case 2. You can optimize marketability early on extremely cost-effectively 3. Most of the gaming studios fail to understand the first point until it is too late and thus refuse to concentrate on the second point.

While development keeps going at full speed towards Godot 4.0 (see recent devblogs on GDScript typed instructions and Complex Text Layout ), a lot of work is also being done on the 3.2 branch for the upcoming Godot 3.2.4. This new beta 3 build comes shortly after last week's beta 2 to fix some of the regressions and bugs reported against that release.

My name is Matias N. Goldberg , I normally maintain the 2.x branch of Ogre aka ogre-next and I wrote Betsy, a GPU texture compressor that runs on GPUs. This work was commissioned by Godot Engine through the Software Freedom Conservancy to solve a major complaint: importing textures is excruciantly slow and takes many minutes. Certain compression algorithms such as BC1-5 are quite simple and there are already fast high quality compression algorithms.
