Godot 4.7 Release: Lights, Camera, Action!
Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age. This brings us to Godot 4.7. With 3 years under its belt, the 4.7 _Director’s Cut_ offers colors of never-before-reached intensity.

Apple published a plugin for Godot that lets your Godot games get rendered by RealityKit:

I wonder how much of a pain in the ass making an app with Rust for backend and Godot (godot-rs?) for front would be

Godot USD: Moved from a patched Godot to a proper GDExtension, so you no longer need a fork.
Pretty happy with the live variant changes, it also has a traditional "one-off" importer if you do not want to pay a runtime libOpenUSD price.

Xogot 1.6.2 is out
We just published Xogot 1.6.2, a quick follow-up release to our launch of Xogot 1.6, powered by Godot 4.6. With performance improvements, a redesigned MultiMeshInstance3D populate workflow, a much more usable GridMap editor, and early access to the Godot 4.7 shader previewer. Performance We

Got myself a native USD scene loader for Godot using the Pixar library.

How awful for accessibility would be an app (not game!) made using Godot for its front-end?

Working on rethinking the Blend 1D animation editors in godot that i find deeply confusing and very cumbersome to use.
No modes, just touch delight
Godot and Xogot:

Finding assets in Xogot’s filesystem browser was a pain, we baked in a always-on Asset Browser:

Introducing the Asset Browser: Finding Your Stuff, Faster
One of the things that was cumbersome when using Xogot on the iPad was finding and placing your assets on the screen. The way that this works in Godot is that you find your image, 3D model and you drag and drop it into the editor. Or you can drop

I like this Reality Composer grid more than the Godot one.
My attempt, with the wrong colors, but with t subdivisions and markers:

I love SwiftUI animations, sprinkled a withAnimation on the graph sorting for my Godot animation controls:

Added shader breakpoints to Xogot, based on the Godot 4.7 feature:

And this is the 2D editor. I think this is all enabled because of SwiftUI.
It is so easy and delightful.
Godot and Xogot:

I am addicted to rewriting these UIs in SwiftUI.
Next victim, the AnimationStateMachine.
The main driver was just killing the select/add/connect modal system, that feels like using VI on a UI - but while I was working on it, decided to tune up a little the UI.
When you tap on a wire, you get a popup to configure the transition, which you have to preselect in the original:
