Dear Patrons, again huge thanks for your continued support! Here is a small gift for you. While we figure out how to upload properly to Git the new upcoming 3D TPS demo, you can download and test it, as well as the project itself. Please don't distribute it publicly!
Some known issues:
*use RMB to aim, LMB to shoot while aiming, WASD and mouse to move

2018-05-16 18:04:45 +0000 UTC View PostWe ran behind a little for April, so we are beginning proposal collecting for May, in order to catch up.
As you are probably aware, both inspector, animation editor, 2D editor and several Godot components are undergoing a lot of improvements in order to significantly increase usability in 3.1. Once they are done, the tutorials missing (voted here) will be done based on those.
Here are the results for April 2018:
Tutorial/Demo:
I modified the results post with information about the progress. Most features are being worked on, either be me or someone else (usually with my help). Most related to rendering will be done on 3.2 with the Vulkan rewrite.

Will definitely try to get up to date on the promised tutorials as soon as I can.
2018-05-05 17:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostAs always, anyone can vote. Only Patrons have points depending on pledges, but the rest of voters get their votes added up to the popular vote!

I'm quite behind schedule for many of these, so after working on the new AnimationTreePlayer next week, full focus will go to work on the patreon features/tutos/demos. Thanks for waiting, as most will be done before 3.1 is out.

Apologies for the delay, here is the proposal submission for April 2018.

After this one (the May one will start immediately after this one, so we compensate for the delay), I will focus on catching up to not done yet proposals and features during May, so as much as possible is included in Godot 3.1.
Here are the March 2018 results!

Tutorial/Demo/Doc:
You did it! Thanks to your generous support, we reached our third Patreon goal and I (Rémi) will now be able to dedicate my full-time to Godot as project manager and representative!
I wrote some insights on what Godot's free and open source project management entails (from my perspective), how I handled it so far and what are our plans for the future (and my job assignments).

2018-03-27 13:31:57 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys! proposal vote form is up! As pretty much most entries in tututorials/demos are the same in the submissions, and the fact many just request for documentation...(yes, you guys were right, while the concept was different, in practice it was not), I decided to just do a single category: tutorial/demo/doc. Will pick the first two that win, which I believe makes the most sense.

This system has been proposed by the lawyers from Software Freedom Conservancy, so the way voting works is compatible with their status as non profit charity. It must be understood from the start that voting is not a "pay for features" system, but an attempt made by the core developers to generously give back something to our Patrons who have made...

As 3.0 is now out, many developers are already tackling several of the winning items. For those missing, I (Juan) will take care personally to make sure they exist.
Form for February 2018 is out! Feel free to add your proposals in here!

Many of the previously voted proposals are being worked on currently by many of the contributors, soI (Juan) will work on the untaken ones, hoping they will be mostly fulfilled by the end of the month.
Again, thanks and happy proposing!
Here are the results for the January 2018 votes!

Anyone can submit proposals, then they will be voted by Patrons. At this point it seems 3.0 is very near, so everything voted up to now will be worked on afterwards as priority.
Again, thanks enormously everyone!
2017-12-13 13:39:20 +0000 UTC View PostHere's another advance for you guys. Lightmapper is almost done!
It can do lightmapping in two different ways, either voxel cone tracing (similar technique to GIProbe), which is quick but less accurate.. or more traditional lightmapping doing lots of ray probing, which is slower but looks more correct.
Here's a comparision.

As promised in the Patreon rewards, pledgers would see many previews and advances for new features first, it's just that we haven't been adding much recently given 3.0 is huge.
A large amount of users requested that an actual lightmapper is added to 3.0, given GIProbe requires relatively higher end hardware. It will be a rare last-minute addition, so here's some progress for it.
An UV unwrapper has been added that can generate unique UVs on the secondary channel on import automatically.<...
2017-12-09 12:44:01 +0000 UTC View PostMany of you know probably that Patreon changed their fee structure. They did without asking us, creators. The new structure punishes small backers heavily by forcing them to pay an extra $0.35c.
In larger pledges the difference is minimal, but Patreon has a lot of backers in the $1-3 range who pledge on dozens to hundreds of project, and this punishes them directly.
As a result, we've noticed that (both in our project and pretty much all other projects on Patreon), many users in th...
