This afternoon I started tinkering with Godot and VR, and after a few hours... I'm inside my gunship already! (I'm using ALVR on Linux, and it started glitching while recording.). #indiegames #gamedev #madewithgodot #indiegaming #gamedevelopment #indiedev #VR

A rough estimate vs Unreal and Unity based on SteamDB data (this does not count other engines). Two years ago, Godot was below 1%, so it is very surprising to see this growth in such a short time..

Replying to

I don't think the console middleware aspect will by itself make an impact in this context. Godot Engine has had a registered middleware provider for Nintendo Switch for how many years now? All eyes are on Godot 4's success, going forward.

This is just going from strength to strength. I hope the creators take note and maybe adopt this as a core feature, not a mod

Hey

, someone mentioned to me today that the Lynx is running OpenXR? Does it support to normal Khronos loader on Android? Should in theory mean Godot 4 should run on it...

Oops, there was a typo in the GitHub action script. Fixed and plugin can be downloaded now from here:

Release 1.0.0 Alpha 3 · GodotVR/godot_openxr_loaders

Added support for KHR loaders (tested on Magic Leap 2, should work with HTC headsets as well)

Show this thread

Aaaand... We merged support for Khronos Android OpenXR loader into our loader plugin for #godotengine 4. Tested on Magic Leap 2, this should also add support for a number of other headsets such as Android based HTC headsets that support OpenXR.

Third is a lack of plugin support features such as automatically making 1st party plugins available, version control of installed plugins, etc. But these are all issues that are known and actively being looked at. They won't be solved in 4.0, but will be in the future.

The second issue is one those who have made plugins like these will attest to are shortcomings in accessing the internals of the rendering system from plugins. Godot 4 makes great strides here with GDExternals architecture but more is needed.

Well contrary to common belief Godot 3 has several terrain plugins you can download and use today. So the first problem we have that needs to be solved is lack of visibility of what is available.

Show this thread

What makes sense is for Godot to have a 1st party plugin for one type of terrain, while other developers maintain 3rd party terrain systems that are more niche. So what stands in the way of this, why hasn't this already become to fruition for Godot 3?

It is this reason that is foremost why it doesn't make sense to have a terrain system embedded in the core of Godot but total sense that a terrain system is an additional module.

It is unsuitable if for instance destructible terrain is required. It is total overkill for the terrain needs of level based games. There are half a dozen different competing terrain systems all targeting the needs of specific genres of games.

The system proposed by Juan is a height map based system with streaming capabilities very commonly found in large open world games. It draws a good balance between performance and scalability.

These are all requests that require vastly different terrain systems. There is no such thing as a single solution to the terrain problem. Different types of games require different systems each with their own pro's and con's.

As such I'd like to add one more issue to this list that I've named many times in the past. The immediate reactions to his proposal are in line of "what about destructible terrain, what about caves, what about XYZ"...

This is a really interesting read, especially alongside the proposal Juan posted on Godots github on what his vision for a terrain editor plugin is. Reading reactions on that proposal again for me underlines that Juan is only touching the surface with his rhetoric here.

One of the most demanded features in Godot is terrain support, so I want to clear some misunderstandings regarding its future availability on the engine. If you are interested in this being supported in Godot, read this thread!

I’m very excited for the future here, physics has been a struggle for VR implementations, Bullet struggled for me here, Godot Physics has issues but we can solve them. I really need to find time to learn more about its internals

Quote Tweet

A weak point in the upcoming Godot 4 (where many users have issues with) is physics, where we had to revert to work further on Godot Physics (our own) and drop Bullet. Many suggested Jolt, but this won't cut it either. I think it was never entirely clear why we have to do this..
