Correction @ 11:30: You _no longer_ need to do a custom build to get DirectX 12 support. Doing a custom build was the old way, but starting in 4.3, DirectX 12 is built in. 🎉

Yeah, there were at least other 3 missinformations that I saw in the video. Like I get it, you gotta rush it so it doesn't become too long, but at this point, just talk about the major things and let people read for themselves the rest.
At least something good came of the exec team/board's greed. Seeing the increased support of Godot, both in terms of commits/committers, financial support, and more companies switching like Second Dinner is crazy to see, before Unity messed up I thought it would be a few more years at least before things blew up this much.

This has to be a new standard for release notes in tech! Absolutely phenomenal the way it’s presented in detail with videos and links to further reading!
The file manager docker (which you can make it behave like Unity or Unreal), the render compositing, Wayland support, and the 2D interpolation stuff is pretty big to see. The parallax scrolling stuff is neat to see. Looking forward to 4.4 when interpolation is added for 3D transforms and physics update. Unity has yet to fix their FixedUpdate system, that has resulted in a load of games with unfixable stuttering (unless you mod the game or cap at 50FPS), and it's great that Godot is nipping this in the bud before Godot becomes the Blender of game engines in terms of being widely used. I'm also hoping they eventually update the engine to support FSR 3.1 with frame generation (which has better image quality than FSR 2) now that the engine supports both Vulkan and DX12.
@asdfghjkl-jk6mu yep just gave it a test. It's not enabled by default but it's a simple checkbox and it makes stuff using the fixed update noticeably smoother.
As a relative new Godot user for me the fbx import is huge. I was just making my player model in Blender3D and was gonna use the default import but now will use fbx as I am more used to it and find it more comfortable. Thanks for the updates. Keep it up! :)
I started to make my first game ever and choose Godot for it - I had no previous experience in making games. And I am happy I did - after just a month I got amazing progress on it. With near zero coding experience. I wonder how what I did for now will convert to 4.3. But I really felt in love with that engine. I am not some sort of FOSS evangelist, I dont really care if its open source or not as long as it does what I need it to do and is affordable. Free is pretty affordable ;) But whats more important is - Godot gives me exactly what I need, it works. Couldnt be more happy. Now back to making game I guess :D
same here, I don't care if it's open-source, I actually started with Unity, but the huge size, its overall BLOAT and consequent slowness were too much for me.
I hope so, in 4.2 the editor would randomly freeze for 30 second intervals when I'd move my mouse lol. made it completely unusable. I really hope they fixed that issue
Does the 2D Physics Interpolation fix the issue with the camera jitter in case of using the Position Smoothing? Edited: I reached the Pixel Art Stability section. I will say this is success!!!!!!!
I am so excited for this! Not only can I actually make usable parallax backgrounds but they have export_custom now which will definitely help with a plugin i'm making! I'm also very excited to make my own documentation for the plugin and I'm buying a Lenovo Legion Go for VR development (And to replace my steam deck because the pixel burn is getting bad) so the various improvements to VR is a great addition. Another thing I'm excited for is the tilemap layers. I don't really use this method anymore but a problem I had in the past was being unable to use seperate shaders on the different layers. I assume that since there is a button to select all layers that you can place multiple layers at once so that's amazing!
@@vissadev Export custom probably doesn't do much different from the property list but it makes the code so much better. There were times where I had to make a whole addition to the property list just to add a simple hint to a variable. I don't have definite examples of what I could've used export_custom for because I opted for just making predefined variables instead when it didn't work, so I don't have any variables that are unnecessarily in the property list. In short terms, there was no way to add specific hints to certain variables in the past without the property list. But with export_custom, you can likely add those hints into one line as opposed to the 4-5 lines you would need to set up the variable in addition to the lines to set up the property list and sort it into the proper group. If you don't know what hints are, they're basically ways to specify a specific use for a certain variable. You can add the link/unlink button to a vector2. You can add a button next to a string to select scene paths. You can add a suffix to a range (And hopefully with the new update, integers and floats). And hint_strings are basically parameters you pass into those hints like functions. It took me a while to understand what the use of hints were for, so I just wanted to say what they were. I don't assume you have no idea what you're doing, I just know that the documentation didn't give too good of an explanation as to what the use of them was, so I like to explain it when given the opportunity

there's a BIIIIIIIG thing that wasn't mentioned here. The engine no longer hangs while exiting !!! It happenned at least on windows, the bigger your project was, the longer it would hang before finally terminating the main process. Most people wouldnt notice it since the window closes right away, it was just the process that hanged, but anyone running throug the cli would notice how long it would take to close the editor or a built game. This no longer happens in 4.3 !!!
@@saul8510 I assume you misstiped 4.4. Unfortunately I cannot recall the specific PR you're mentioning, but right before updating do 4.3-stable I was using 4.2.2-stable and the terminal always hanged after i closed the editor (I use windows and I always open the editor using the console wrapper, the godot_console.exe), but after updating to 4.3-stable the console closes at the same time as the editor window closes
I think the return of single treaded web exports and the audio improvements are the biggest deal for me and for everyone making web games for game jams.
Would be awesome if they added texture streaming, I've been waiting for the feature for a few years and it seems we're finally getting close to having it
"acyclic" is said like "a-cycle-ick" "acyclic" means a tree where child nodes cannot refer to anything higher up in the tree. that's the opposite of "cyclic"
A little context on the Wayland X11 part. X11 is largely being depreciated for numerous reasons. Wayland will be the future and already the standard on SteamOS with SteamDeck and other distros as well. It's a good idea to make sure it's Wayland ready now to futureproof your game when X11 goes nonstandard finally.
Interesting is that I actually prefer my filemanager on the sides since I use an ultrawide monitor, I feel better that way. But good thing people can now choose to put that in the botton if they're inclined to
Solid release. Have a small issue with volumetric fog not showing now unless the basic fog is also enabled in the environment config. Not sure if this is intended or a bug, but there you go.
You skipped over the fog part, but this is restoring Linear Fog from Godot 3. I've never understood the use of Exponential. Unity also had both and exponential seems useless.
Does this version fix Scene interdependency making it difficult to use Scenes as prefab objects? Really annoying to not be able to delete a prefab and replace it with a new version all because it would corrupt every Scene that used the old prefab.
You can contribute even by just improving the documentation - making it more readable, adding better pictures, etc. Even small changes can have great impact!
Hey, Rider just came up with a new update which they say it has native support for gdscript and c#. Can you cover that and maybe explain how to do it? I downloaded rider but I don't now how to set it up for my project.
I hope it will fix the multithreading system because it takes 34s to generate about 1108 blocks and that is too slow when you need to load big chunks of blocks with a sum of over 4000 blocks...
Am I the only one who noticed that the conversion from a ParallaxBackground to a Parallax2D actually converted it to a Node2D? That seems like an issue.
@@IronBrandon22 Please test when in beta or at least the release candidat, so you can report bug before the release and hopefolly have a fix before; or you will have to wait for .x patch, which may not even fix it if nobody report the issue
@@IronBrandon22 My point is to say that we should *test* on our project before the actual release so they can fix potential bugs before it get released. Did you read my message ?
They should implement pop-up windows like this new FBX Import for more features such as Tilemap config(but keep painting Tilesets at the bottom), Sprite2D and AnimatedSprite2D animations and others. Shader Editor should also be moved from bottom to the Script view, maybe with a different background color or syntax highlight. All these features sharing the bottom panel with console/output/debugger always felt really weird to me.
In principle, yes, but always make sure you have a backup and triple-check if everything works as expected before proceeding. You could also check the changelogs to see if there are any changes in any area that might affect your game. Might not be necessary, but if you notice anything out of place, then I'd advise you to do that. I noticed a while ago from 4.1 to 4.2 that ui themes had something different about them that I had to fix. So if you're using themes, be wary of that.
Hm, does this game dev software happen to have a quick texture mixer? I mean with blending modes, filters, colorization or glow effects etc., like you can do in Filmora 13?
Great engine and update, but... Will I ever get a code editor in a separate window? Changing between code and scenes is a nightmare rn. That is, imo, the biggest problem in godot. Second problem is autocomplition not working for some cases, cause simply not implemented.
You can detach the Script Editor and have it in a separated window; there a button on the top right corner of the Script Editor. If it's greyed out, you must disable single window mode and also make sure multi window mode is on in the Editor Settings ...
@@AetherPowered @null6482 thank both of you, I found out it was added in prev versions, mine was too old. Also do you guys know if there's a way to fix a game window so that I don't have to restretch it every time? I want to have main editor to the left, code in center and a game to the right. that's a habit from my webdev experience to have the result view in one reserved space on screen.
@@dobryden7196 You will probably have to set the viewport size in the Project Settings; then in the Editor Settings, set the `Rect` as `Custom Position` (run/window_placement/rect_custom_position), those settings are only used when you play from the editor, not for the exported project.
No, that's not coming any time soon. It depends on .dotnet supporting this in the future which was pushed in past .dotnet versions. There are some other options if it takes too long which might be used instead at some point too though.
@@ViktorsJournal Big thanks for the reply :) Looking forward to using Godot at some point! I just have vast amounts of C# I'd want to transfer over + a need for web support.
"FBX is such a key interchange format" ... yes. Unfortunately. As fas as I am concerned it can finally die in a fire. Or alternatively - Autodesk make the entire thing FOSS. But they don't. So it will remain a weird half-open inbetween thing that GPL licensed software can't use but only recreate more or less.
godot getting to look good. I've been meaning to start making my first game once I can figure out a damn not really good with codeine at all gd script what would be the first but visual scripting might be the way to go for me. I know it's a language I've never coded before seems pretty basic to get into but I'm more of a visual scripture so I have to do that instead.
Godot 4.3 almost ruined my GMTK submission. I couldn't download the export templates at all and I couldn't even download them from my browser I'm hoping it's fixed now, I had to roll back to a lower version

Great engine and update, but... Will I ever get a code editor in a separate window? Changing between code and scenes is a nightmare rn. That is, imo, the biggest problem in godot. Second problem is autocomplition not working for some cases, cause simply not implemented.
You can detach the Script Editor and have it in a separated window; there a button on the top right corner of the Script Editor. If it's greyed out, you must disable single window mode and also make sure multi window mode is on in the Editor Settings ...
Also for the auto completion it is fixed here now but you have to statically define the types of the variables for it to work
Just like c++ or c#
@@AetherPowered @null6482 thank both of you, I found out it was added in prev versions, mine was too old. Also do you guys know if there's a way to fix a game window so that I don't have to restretch it every time? I want to have main editor to the left, code in center and a game to the right. that's a habit from my webdev experience to have the result view in one reserved space on screen.
@@dobryden7196 You will probably have to set the viewport size in the Project Settings; then in the Editor Settings, set the `Rect` as `Custom Position` (run/window_placement/rect_custom_position), those settings are only used when you play from the editor, not for the exported project.
@@AetherPowered thank you so much!
we had bonemaps in 4.2
This is HUGE
Can't wait for godot 6.9
But does it have C# in web build support?
No, that's not coming any time soon. It depends on .dotnet supporting this in the future which was pushed in past .dotnet versions. There are some other options if it takes too long which might be used instead at some point too though.
@@ViktorsJournal Big thanks for the reply :) Looking forward to using Godot at some point! I just have vast amounts of C# I'd want to transfer over + a need for web support.
Still waiting for blender level 3d bone IK, maybe in godot 5
"FBX is such a key interchange format" ... yes. Unfortunately. As fas as I am concerned it can finally die in a fire. Or alternatively - Autodesk make the entire thing FOSS. But they don't. So it will remain a weird half-open inbetween thing that GPL licensed software can't use but only recreate more or less.
NYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES time to refactor tilemaps 🤩
godot getting to look good. I've been meaning to start making my first game once I can figure out a damn not really good with codeine at all gd script what would be the first but visual scripting might be the way to go for me. I know it's a language I've never coded before seems pretty basic to get into but I'm more of a visual scripture so I have to do that instead.
Godot can't stop catching W's.
this make it easy to import Synty assets?
Yes
Godot 4.3 almost ruined my GMTK submission. I couldn't download the export templates at all and I couldn't even download them from my browser
I'm hoping it's fixed now, I had to roll back to a lower version
Uhhhh i will use UDK (Unreal engine 3) to make a game, note: UDK still exists
