While we offer a default particles material (which is very powerful and customizable), it is possible to write your own particle logic entirely in a shader. It is also possible to convert a particle system to a shader and do further modifications to it by yourself, manually. Customization. More power. are implemented.

Our goal is to have a modern, clustered renderer that supports everything mainstream engines support, including PBR, global illumination and flexible shader editing. Write a more flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language. Write a more efficient Mesh format, which allows faster loading/saving. For Godot 3.0

Finally, the way light shaders now works is more user friendly to creating custom lighting shaders. The 2D material system is back, so writing custom shaders works with the new Vulkan renderer. The shader language is mostly untouched since Godot 3.x, x, so existing shaders should just work. 2D materials.

Godot just works in a way that meshes with how I like to think and work. Just drop some images in and drag them onto the canvas, attach a script, write a few lines of GDScript and you've got the beginning of a game. I'd love to be able to edit shaders in the main code editor instead of a dock. The 2D workflow is pretty great.
