Godot 4.7 has released and adds a bunch of “Day One” support and new features for various XR platforms

This includes production-ready support for games on AndroidXR and SteamOS on the Steam Frame

They also added HDR output to Windows, macOS, iOS, visionOS, and Linux (Wayland)

[Fredia Huya-Kouadio @m4gr3d]

Looking forward to what #Godot #gamedevs create with day one support for #XrealAura and #SteamFrame devices!

#GodotEngine 4.7 is here! 🎉 Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age; the 4.7 Director's Cut helms a bevy of new features to eliminate any remaining friction between you and your vision!

The #Godot #XR team was able to go hands on with the #XrealAura during the #AWE hackathon a few days ago and had a blast.

[Godot Engine @godotengine]

At AWE, Google and XReal officially showed the new XReal Aura glasses running Android XR

The recently released Godot OpenXR vendor plugin ensures great support for this device. We recommend using the upcoming Godot 4.7 to get the most out of them

🌟 XBOX Godot Sample - now available as a public, source-only reference on @github

We’re making it easier to build for XBOX on PC with @godotengine. Check out our new sample that helps you integrate Microsoft GDK, XBOX Services, and PlayFab directly into Godot, with reusable code and modular samples that help make your development path shorter, smoother, and more open.

We have work to do as we move to a more open developer ecosystem. Today we shipped an XBOX Godot sample to GitHub, giving developers a simple starting point for building games with the GDK and other title services.

With the release of the Godot OpenXR Vendors plugin v5.1, #GodotEngine is now ready for production on #AndroidXR

[Godot Engine @godotengine]

No desktop? No problem.

You can now build and publish #GodotEngine games entirely from your Android or XR device!

Terrain3D v0.9.3 has been released with over 200 updates!

A new tutorial video will come out this week, along with more announcements. See 🧵 for feature highlights and links.

@NathanGDQuest the Godot tours need a separate platform agnostic download.

I used the macos version since it's the only version that wasn't bundled with the editor and it worked great with the Android editor and with the XR editor.

[Fredia Huya-Kouadio @m4gr3d]

@NathanGDQuest interactive #GodotEngine tutorials are some of the best I've seen!
They integrate directly within the #Godot Editor making it easy and intuitive to follow along (and they work with the #XR editor too)!

Not free, but definitely worth it.

[Godot Engine @godotengine]

The theme for this #DevSnapshot is speed 🚂💨

Experience rendering, editor startup, filesystem operations, and more becoming faster than in previous Godot versions.

But that's not all! Read the #ReleaseNotes for more cards up our sleeve 🃏

Having alternative pipelines for XR app generation is a huge win. I haven't tried this yet, but having an open source game engine have a standalone Quest app to make VR from within VR has huge promise. Likely needs more iterations to be more efficient than desktop, but exciting!

[Fredia Huya-Kouadio @m4gr3d]

#GodotEngine first class support for #OpenXR is about to get even better!

In this blog post, we'll delve into how feature enhancements to Godot's open source engine are being made possible through the support of the Khronos Group.

[Godot Engine @godotengine]

More exciting XR news!

@mux213 @KenneyNL @godotengine @KenneyNL @mux213 I'm also working on adapting the city builder starter kit in VR using the Godot XR Editor and will share in the assets library once it's complete!

@KenneyNL I think your work is very well suited for VR and I would love to see something like MakeRoom in VR.

[Michael Gschwandtner ᯅ @xrworkoutlabs]

I just gave the Godot Editor on the Quest a first quick 5 minute spin and whoever is making XR decisions inside Meta needs to make this a first party product.

This thing is ACTUALLY really usable and a joy to work with. If you have a keyboard with touchpad you don't even need controllers. This will make everyone a VR dveloper and with ease at that.

I am going to make a quick video to show how to get from zero to VR in just a few minutes

A significant moment for Meta's XR platform, and for spatial computing in general.

[Fredia Huya-Kouadio @m4gr3d]

@JoshyPoshyVR @supergoofyguy @Flat2VR I have been using the termux terminal from F-droid (requires side loading F-droid on device) which provides git and GitHub cli access and it works pretty well!

[Godot Engine @godotengine]

In a collaborative effort with @MetaQuestVR we are happy to announce: the Godot Editor is now available in #EarlyAccess on the Meta Horizon store!

This means you can develop games right on your headset without the need for an external computer 🥽
