This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. The graphics backend rewrite took a while. So it’s RGBZ.

For Renderer, I chose Forward+ because I think it is somewhere between URP and HDRP. We’re not really doing anything with shaders or post processing in the tutorial, so depending on where you want to take the tutorial later, its really up to you which you choose. The last object we’ll make is the Tile Selection indicator.

First, the original data stream is segmented into 64 KB tiles, which are processed independently. This coarse-grained decomposition provides thread-level parallelism, enabling multiple tiles to be processed concurrently on multiple cores of the target processor. All threads in the SIMD group share the decompression state.

We know many users are excited about the coming improvements to 2D and 3D rendering in 4.0. Over the last few years we have completely overhauled the Godot renders. They now target Vulkan by default and we have created them with future support for Direct3D 12 and other rendering APIs in mind.

We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. Every part must be set accordingly to the tiles, that size is 30x30x10. We tried to solve this issue with Unity’s Line Renderer, but that tool doesn’t allow to do it properly. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. However, it has been designed for a fairly specific use case: tile-based pixel art platformers. Reminder: for iOS, that means WebGL 1.0 and no WASM.)
