The deformable terrain was a bug. In fact, writing those 20 seconds or minute-long things took a lot of time because I was always trying to see what the hook and the story was.” Fun fact: Semblance was Kimani and Myres’ graduation project and a bug in it morphed into the game’s main mechanic. It was the way I told the story.

GPUParticles : Processes particles on GPU, allows very large amount of particles at little cost, and with ability to write custom particle shaders. This type of collision works over a large area and is ideal for terrain, as well as for excluding rain, snow, smoke, etc. Since Godot 3.0, Godot has two particle systems for both 2D and 3D.

"A Native script", as in "a script you're writing", is just a script, just like a GDScript file, so it doesn't have access to those classes, it also can't extend engine functionality. Some users report that they reached GDScript's limits while e.g. procedurally generating terrain. You want a different renderer?

In other engines, you have to provide many shader variants, mix HLSL with a metalanguage, error reporting is terrible and writing shaders is difficult in general. writing shaders is very easy! The get_node() function also got syntactic sugar to obtain nodes in the local scene tree by writing less code, using the $ alias.
