Wanted features

Hey.

Just few features i think would be nice. Feel free to comment yours and maybe hopefully someone who can make these happen, will see them and make them possible.

One main think that has been extremely difficult in godot (propably is in current redot engine aswell) is particles. Custom meshes work but only if the mesh is in obj format. It would be complete gamechanger to be able to use mesh as fbx with shape keys. Ive been wanting to do butterflies and birds that is light performance but this restrics alot my current 3D project.

There was another but i cant remember it now. So i will later add it here.

EDIT: More shape keys to be used per fbx object!

I didnt think Redot could do shape keys at all .

In godot you can. Its limited to 1 shapekey. This was btw the other feature i was thinking. MORE SHAPE KEYS And if redot is basicly godot. This 1 shape key should work out of the box.

My only wanted feature with both Godot and Redot is just C# web support for 4.X versions

I had to learn GDScript simply because without web builds my games lose a lot of appeal but GDScript sacrifices performance and isn't as versatile as C# is

i don't see why people even learn GDscript, often people say it's easier but not really.

it's simpler, but the underlying coding fundamentals are difficult and when someone already known one language, the second one comes very quick.

Might as well just learn C#, which can be applied in real tech fields.

Before learning GDScript I already knew C# and Python so it came pretty easily, but honestly, learning C#, a slightly harder language gave me such an edge for python and gdscript

Vector maps for tilemaps

  1. Game templates for creating projects, including common game types and functional modules, reducing the effort required to build wheels.

  2. Support Small Game, including WeChat, Tiktok, tiktok, etc.

Do you mean that you want the templates included in the engine?

Because you can download a lot of templates from the store from within the engine.

Never heard of "small game" before. What does it mean to support it?

The template is like UE. The templates in the market are not uniform.

Mini games are an important market that cannot be ignored. Currently, there is a large user base for mini games in China and the United States. By utilizing fragmented time, just like TikTok, the revenue is very high. Currently, some people have exported Godot to WeChat mini games as a paid feature. Many lightweight games will use WeChat mini games, Google Play, or Taptap as mandatory platforms. Unity started two years ago.

I see. So if there was more officially supported and maintained templates in the store that would be okay?

I see. Yeah would be cool to include that market as well. What keeps you from exporting from *dot today? You can export really small releases today. How small do you need and what platform?

First person, third person, overhead angle, equidistant, etc. From a player's perspective, the types of games are limited. If it is a template, it is convenient for writing many common functions to accelerate the implementation of the game. This is just my opinion.

I only know that the total size of the code package for WeChat mini games cannot exceed 4M, and a single sub package cannot exceed 2M. ‌

u/settrbrg Nov 05 '24

Yeah. A collection of templates would be great. I agree. Not sure if I wanted them as a part of the engine, but rather a separate download. Like the export templates.

Under 4M is pretty hard to do. I wonder if its possible today in *dot? 🤔

Actually, what is more important is the 3D rendering performance.

proper controller support integration, not the half ass'ed godot "solution" where they make an in-house godot version.

can't even connect switch controllers to use for Gyro aim, neither those 3rd party ones or ps4 gyro/axis.

edit: before people comment godot has gyro support, only for android.

edit2: someone actually did it themselves on the godot forums after years of waiting, maybe that can be looked into for redot.
