Godot Engine 4.0 has been released per official announcement. With version 4.0, Godot has gone through “3+ years of breaking and rebuilding from the ground up, a complete core overhaul and a full engine rewrite, through 17 alphas, 17 betas and 6 release candidates“. The announcement post is credited to “2000+ Godot contributors.”
It’s a great milestone for Godot, but the work is far from finished. There are still aspects of Godot 4 that feel rough that are likely to be addressed in the coming days, weeks, and months with point releases.
Hugo-Dz created Super Godot Galaxy: https://github.com/Hugo-Dz/super-godot-galaxy, which he announced in this Reddit post. It uses the 3D Starter Kit from Kenney and shows how to achieve the effect of applying gravity toward the center of a small spherical planet.
I had a setup with nested CanvasLayer nodes. Toggling the visibility of the root CanvasLayer doesn’t hide any nested CanvasLayer nodes. My solution was to listen to the visibility_changed signal, find any CanvasLayer child nodes, and apply the same visibility to them.
Per feedback, we’ve exposed more inventory user interface component signals to make it easier to react to slot/item interactions with custom logic. New features: In addition, these bug fixes are included:
