The Best New Features Coming in Godot 4.3 

You mean they're working towards the unity of 2D and 3D developers? Seems unreal

​@@drillerdev4624this was incredible, thank you

​@@drillerdev4624 Radical 😅

​@drillerdev4624 What is the Source for this information? I want to see where all these GameMaker people are at.

i would Cry if they started focusing on 3d. also, i really appreciate how everyone is Constructing their sentences

DOOO ITTTT!!!

Reach out to them or make a PR or something, that would be pretty cool XD

Where can you get that plushie?

Plush3D node will revolutionize godot

@@radiantveggies9348 Real or digital?

This is the scariest boogeyman of Godot. That's awesome!

Second best thing - HTML5 exports is viable again!

❤

Yeah godot works but it's flickering a lot

Ye its pretty good its not as stable as x11 yet but the native wayland support is great for reducing input lag

looking forward to the day I can disable single-window mode without godot crashing every few minutes

@@chrismcpherson7582 Nvidia? (I haven't tried it myself)

Yeah, I'm wondering what exactly is the improvement with the new TileMap system

i does kinda declutter the inspector when working with tilemaps, where you'd have all the layer options there at once

In my case I was building maps on the fly in a separate thread which was able to just grab the current tilemap and start doing the thing. Now, it has to have a new class to link a list of the layers because now it can't get children since it's not on the main thread. It's suuuuuper inconvenient and awful if you ask me. I had to rewrite a shit ton of code to accommodate the change also, because every single GetCustomData or whatever function now has a different signature.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but they've had their own discord server for quite some time now.

@@JasonLothamerIt was an unofficial server repurposed into an official one, going by the announcement in the old server.

You mean Godot got rid of the "community lead" discord because W4 Games didn't have enough control over it. Where they silently fired their mods-- who helped build the community.

​@@lillybytesource for this?

@@lillybyte wait that happened?

my current game won't benefit from these additions but my future games will ( dynamic music for example, i think for current game would be bit of scopecreep but for future titles i will most probably use... maaaybe if i wanted to test it already then final boss of 1st game could be fitting but i don't have time to add it for every level)

Can toy elaborate as to why? I started with C++ years and years ago but I haven't used it for Godot. Wondering why the experience is sub optimal

You*

@@chrismcpherson7582 because if I want to make my game inside Godot Engine ( modifying the original Godot and using C++).. I may need to re-compile all the Engine each time i do a little change to the code.. note: ((Actually in Linux there's a way to just compile the changes, but not on Windows :( .. i may recompile all the code again, and again..))

I use modules all the time and the system seems fine imo

Could you give an example what needs to be improved? I'm using the custom fork of the engine all the time and I don't have bigger issues working with it. I haven't touch the GDNative though, for me it is just easier to just build engine myself.

Thank you for introducing BeefLang to me

Cool

What are you referring to exactly? I've been using C# with Godot for years and there aren't significant changes between 4.2 and 4.3 from what I've seen so far.

@@lewiji yeah I was referring to bigger updates not just a .1 update

@kfj795 Major version upgrades are there to introduce breaking changes - but the api typically doesn't change much between minor versions. Godot 4 C# api changes from 3.x mainly because the switch from mono to .net core enabled some new stuff, so for example signals can be connected to functions in a type safe way that's idiomatic to c# events, rather than using strings like 3.x, source generators can generate static types for your custom signals, method names, etc, preventing the need for string literals or nameof everywhere, and it largely got rid of the use of reflection in the integration code. Personally having used C# a lot in 3.x and 4, the 4 api is way better and allows you to write much safer code.

@@lewiji every time I search for a way to do something I always find api function that got deprecated/changed name/removed, but yeah mainly from GD 3.x

@@kfj795 Godot 4 had a lot of changes - that's normal. It's a very big update!

You can still use it!

it will be deprecated but it should be there along with the new one

I had Infinite scrolling ParallaxLayer in 3.5 ;-)

@@igorthelight Honestly I suspected it was from 3.x but I never really used Godot until 4.0.

@@Sylfa Understandable. They just streamlined Parallax workflow so it became easier to deal with.

Yep!

When microsoft wants to as it depends on .net updates

@@saul8510 Any idea where one can see those issues directly? Tried looking into it (since it does work in the 3.x branch) to see what changed and how a working feature went to not working.

​@@TheRealAfroRicknot sure, but my understanding is that 3.x used mono, not .net

Therea jolt

Google "Godot Jolt physics" ;-)

There are some a bit of rendering performance tweaks. Some benchmarks show results 5% better in framerate.

I used it in 3.x. I don't know why this is considered new...

That's how rendering order works. Things are drawn, then the next in the list is drawn over it.

Yeah that's just how everything is rendered in general, so it would technically be backwards if TileMapLayers rendered the other way

@@jlewis4441 That is not how layers work though... Like in Photoshop.

@@chrismcpherson7582 that is not how layers work though, like in Photoshop.

@@PurpleKnightmare Oh, I meant in Godot specifically, my bad for being unclear. You're correct, virtually every other program with the ability to have things render on top of other things renders bottom to top, but not Godot, presumably because it's faster or something. Not sure, but that's just how it is. As such, if TileMapLayers used the conventional method (bottom to top), it would be backwards compared to every other node in the engine (top to bottom), and that'd be kinda silly and unintuitive to anyone who gets used to the ordering of nodes (which you'll inevitably have to do if you use the engine like ever)

I've been there 🥲

Godot 3 does seem more lightweight especially on low end devices. I wonder wtf they did in 4 to make it considerably slower

@@chlorobyte it's more gpu based and it uses latest technology, also built to be way better than 3.5 of which it very well is...when you get a higher end laptop you'll understand/feel it🥲

@@TATGames I have an RX 7600 XT. Don't assume my specs based on what I'm saying. The problem comes to actually publishing a game - relying on more powerful and recent graphics hardware to get the same exact results makes Godot 4 a no-go for simpler games that could reach a wider audience by simply being made in Godot 3 instead.

it's going to leave beta in probably like a month

After the RC's. Which means, when it's ready(ish).

Not today, but surely tomorrow.

probably around mid-September :) They are soon in release candidate and then they stay on average a month in RC, so mid September seems a good bet

That's why it's still in Beta ;-)

New engine for him, and those videos where quite substantial and need lots of work.

Why do you seem absolutely furious about this?

@@PoolOfPeas Why do you seem to be absolutely furious about my corrections? Why do you seem like you're about to hit a family member with a cricket bat you're so mad about my comments?

And for people who prefers a more feature rich language than GD Script. I'm considering transitioning myself. GD Script is pretty bare bones right now

About a quarter of the games on Steam are Python based

I actually don't find issues with it. Just the lack of .dll dependencies, but apart from that, I find it much better than Unity in this regard.

Everything that this engine is capable of can be done with through GD script. How is it barebones?

​@@josephk6136engine integration and language capabilities are not the same thing.

Yeah and it's cute

Not my thing but it's a cool way to support the project I guess. You can see the actual bots at the bottom of the comments with the very obvious names, comments and profile pics lol.

Windows 11 🥵

windows 11 with some tiling manager is not that bad

You mean the open source and totally optional telemetry? Even firefox has telemetry, even linux distros has telemetry, lol.

​@@chrismcpherson7582that doesn't justify others. Cannibalism is also worldwide practice, but we don't see defenders in YT comments.

@@charlieking7600 that's the worst analogy I've ever seen.

@@chrismcpherson7582 yes, because it hurts you. You understand that telemetry is ethically unacceptable thing. I only mentioned another ethically wrong thing.

@@charlieking7600 lol again that's the worst analogy I've ever heard, and again, it's common in many open source softwares. It's not a bad thing if they aren't selling your data. It doesn't hurt anyone, especially if it's optional. Comparing telemetry to cannibalism is so brain dead it hurts.

In 2015 a Microsoft study found the general populations attention span went from 20 seconds to less then 9 seconds which is the attention span of a goldfish. This channel is a 'brute force' method of dealing with that- tons of info in as little time as possible. Just zone out and your brain will pick up on a keyword then hit 'space' to pause and left/right arrow to locate what you found interesting.
