I'm so glad to hear Tyre Layers are now supported. Sucked having to manually stack up the tyres on the side of the road

Parallax that isn't ruined by the Camera2D's zoom and the Tilemap system are what I'm looking forward to the most. I've had to do so much hacking with the Camera zoom to make parallax work as I would expect.

Best feature: ability to recover from scene corruption due to renamed/moved files. Hours and hours saved there, alone.

Being able to save TileSets and reuse them is NOT new in Godot 4.3 ... it has always been a thing. I can do this right now (in 4.2) by creating a TileSet resource and using it in two TileMap nodes. Additionally, I kinda see TileMapLayer as more of a regression than an improvement. All it seems to do is remove layers from TileMap and make them their own nodes. In this way, they're not that much different than back in Godot 3 where I would create two TileMap nodes for different layers to begin with. I do *prefer* this method of working with tilemap layers, but it's definitely not new.

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.

Global Illumination update was postponed to 4.4. That's most important info.

Thanks Mike! I don't know how I'd find time to keep up with what's going on with the game dev world or even just Godot updates without your videos. Much appreciated.

Man one of these days the Godot engine will mature so that each new version doesn't break something from existing projects. These are all great changes, but let's be honest, it's all fixing stuff that was over-engineered for 4.0. Also today Godot got around to having their very own Discord server which seems to be in pace with a lot of very good changes the project; less foss-bro, more professional game development organization.

Dude I was about to say I didn't get notified this video was uploaded but I just realized KZread unsubscribed me from your channel. I've heard of it happening but it's the first time it's happened to me. Anyway, resubbed lol.

The biggest change for me is that they finally merged a fix for the class_name cache bug, where projects pulled from version control won't have the cache file so won't recognize any classes added by the add-on. Now the cache is rebuilt at editor launch and the file is only used for exported projects where classes won't change.

I'm most hopeful about the fixes to web exports and audio samples. It would be nice to be able to use Godot 4 to make web games.

You should go over some of the big animation changes

I just compiled 4.3 from source, so this is now me on the edge. I love how seamless Godot and organized it was to get it to work. I look forward to reverse engineering and understanding.

gridmap is very scarce in terms of features, one could pay attention to it. more constructors could be added to vectors, for example Vector4 (Vector2, Vector2), Vectot3 (Vector2, float), etc

Do you know if they will be fixing/improving the Graph nodes soon?

I'm wondering how this will impact support for the program Tiled for those that use it...

Besides some performance difference, what other considerations must be taken into account when considering to switch from Vulkan to DirectX12?

Hopefully they add vertex shading to make it viable for mobile.

I find the there images merge feature. Just saying that images can be merge into single file but need to save as image file as png. Which did help me think. That was in 4.2 as it gave me tips on merge files I think. Will it hidden options. Although it need to improve.

Another important feature, at least for me, is the Single Thread web export which, it seems, it solves the problem of exporting project to the web and to be uploaded without the need of all that stuff to make sure your game is not dangerous.

@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.

@@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)
