- Rebake lightmaps in Global Illumination demo with supersampling
to improve quality.
- Increase SDFGI quality in the Global Illumination demo
(slightly more demanding, but better matches the quality standards
of 2026).
All demos had Project > Tools > Upgrade Project Files ran on them
with 4.6.stable (4.6.stable.mono for demos in the `mono/` folder).
* General proofreading for grammar and spelling
* General formatting
* Addition of appropriate literals where appropriate, i.e. `&"foo"` for `StringName` cases and `^"foo/bar"` for `NodePath` cases
This leads to code that is easier to understand and runs
faster thanks to GDScript's typed instructions.
The untyped declaration warning is now enabled on all projects
where type hints were added. All projects currently run without
any untyped declration warnings.
Dodge the Creeps and Squash the Creeps demos intentionally don't
use type hints to match the documentation, where type hints haven't
been adopted yet (given its beginner focus).
- Move all demo projects that don't require Forward+/Mobile-only features
to the Compatibility rendering method. This improves performance significantly
on low-end devices and ensures visuals are identical to a web export
of the demo.
- Set deadzone on all inputs to 0.2 for better gamepad usability.
- Remove reliance on `default_env.tres` to use built-in Environment
resources in the main scene instead (which follows the preview environment
workflow).
- Remove notices pointing to GDNative or VisualScript, since both were
removed in 4.0.
- Various bug fixes and usability tweaks to 10+ demos.
* Remove unnecessary use of `self`
* Connect to signals directly over `connect("name")`
* Use `call_deferred` on callables over `call_deferred("name"))`
* Emit signals directly over `emit_signal("name"...)`
All demos were opened with Godot 4.2.1, with the mesh format
upgraded for 3D demos.
The 3D antialiasing demo now uses Extra Cull Margin on the last
object to prevent it from disappearing too early when the camera
rotates (due to its use of shader-based animation).
Made a new material IO plugin because the old one wasn't working. The new material IO plugin uses JSON instead of a custom
resource because you currently cannot save custom resources from GDScript.
Not all APIs are provided yet, please request whathever you are missing.
Some example plugins are provided in demos/plugins. Just copy them to a folder in your project named addons/ and then enable them from the project settings.
Have fun!
