There was also some hinting at supporting raytracing for some upcoming Godot games....

NVIDIA created a ray tracing fork of Godot. Hot off the presses. github.com/NVIDIA-RTX/god…

@BLAHBLEHBLAH_1 @corysimmons123 That was the idea...it's MIT so it can be used, copied, adjusted into a PR on its own

@corysimmons123 @StayAtHomeDev Because it makes no sense to force a bunch of untested features into an existing open source project from a large corporation when the maintainers could also easily deny them Once the features are fleshed out, it may be feasible to merge, or it may be preferable to be separate

@SubleBoom It's got a ton of changes to the renderer so they kept it separate I believe.

@StayAtHomeDev very cool! but why not make a pr on the original repo?

@buttface_9000 Yeah the dev pushed the repo like 4 hours ago.

@StayAtHomeDev Oh this is like HOT hot off the press, nice, ty!

@buttface_9000 My very poor one. But you can grab the fork and test

@StayAtHomeDev Any videos or screenshots?

Any guesses on how much it costs to buy one (1) banana at #GDC2026?

@dioyun I do too...

@StayAtHomeDev Get the feeling that custom nav mesh is in your future

Two early enemies in Children of Kronos, a fast mining spider with a leap attack and a stationary turret. Both utilize #GodotEngine recent IK feature improvements. The spiders move along the nav mesh and the legs animate procedurally. Should I have them walk on walls too?

Headed to GDC for the rest of the week. Missed the Godot roundtable but can't wait to dive in. Any other Godot people going?

@shadesofsilver We'll see what the AI wars bring. Lots of uncharted territory for sure

@StayAtHomeDev I really want the wider industry to adopt Godot the same way they did Unity 15 years ago. Not sure even Slay the Spire 2 is enough to make that happen though. They got all these little nitpicks & they have no idea what they're missing.

Hey AAA...

Let this sink in... A #GodotEngine game is the top selling game in the world right now.

I'm so happy I never have to open Adobe again #materialmaker
