Not sure what you are missing in terms of Tweening and TextMeshPro capabilities that are not yet built-in but Cinemaschine alternative is PhantomCamera by @marcusskov.com which is great

We optimized draw calls by 99% (lol) in Hidden Folks 2 by writing some tools to find all textures used in a level, generate a level-specific atlas, and replace individual texture references with atlas textures. Thread below 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine

Two side-by-side screenshots showing before and after we applied a texture atlas optimization to our game Hidden Folks two, the before showing 13318 draw calls and the after showing 113 draw calls

Patrick Exner / 🔥 🦎 🔜 Devcom/Gamescom @flamelizard.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I made a similar upgrade recently as well. I had to buy some holders for the cooler since the new one used a different mechanism and I didn’t have the factory ones anymore. Your cooler looks very similar to the one I have. Also, on mine there was thermal paste on there 🤔 not on yours?

I hadn't posted it here, but I'm looking to found a game studio with an artist and a programmer in Germany, ideally in NRW, in case anyone is interested! It's not easy to find, because it requires a good amount of industry experience, the ability to lead, and savings to apply for more funding.

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

Godot is growing fast, so here is how we are dealing with the huge increase in contributions.

Completely AI free code is also not achievable due to just having to check every single contribution in addition to making sure your dependencies don’t accept AI contributions. So either you are developing your used dependencies plus the main project or you can forget making it free of AI

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

Godot's current policy on AI-assisted contributions reads like this:

"The use of AI to contribute to Godot is discouraged, and contributions made entirely by AI are prohibited.

We acknowledge that AI can be useful, but we are convinced that human effort results in better and more relevant contributions.

If you do use AI, we expect that you put in effort to proofread and improve anything it generates, and that you disclose what you used AI for. As maintainers spend significant time reviewing your code, please make sure that the code you submit is well-tested and functional. Please be respectful of their time and only submit something you have put thought and effort into."

Well, the development speed for plugins such as orchestrator now is significantly quicker than before having visual coding still inside the engine. So do consider trying it out: orchestrator.cratercrash.space
