Wooohooo! :partying_face: the best roadmap!

I’m really looking forward to Spine and Box2D (in particular WheelJoints, which I have mentioned in this thread) update! and if possible - in what quarter of the year Box2D is expected?

Folks, let’s show our love and support by reaching the first Community donation goal finally!

We will start with Spine as that aligns better with some other work and once that is completed we move on to Box2D. Probably Q3.

The roadmap looks amazing!
I think trim/crop for sprites for the Defold texture packer would be a great addition to the “Stability and performance” section, especially for a big project. That might help to reduce memory consumption.
But the roadmap looks huge already.

Roadmap sounds great, thanks! :innocent:

  • Use Mesh data as shapes for physics collisions

It’s about 3d model meshes, right?

Excited about the roadmap! And so glad that Culling made it into this! In general, the whole Stability and Performance section looks really promising. Among new features I am looking especially to be able to modify collision params in runtime :wink: And regarding platforms - indeed Switch support made Defold very attractive and a strong point for recommendations, so more platforms are welcome :slight_smile:

I am very happy with this roadmap, it includes almost everything I want to have in Defold :slight_smile: Thank you very much!

The roadmap is great! Thumbs up for all performance tweaks. Optimization is great as it is, but there just can’t be enough of those improvements) Special yay for XBOX/PS support!

Just would love to see sprite trimming in features list for 2021. Really essential feature for our current projects.

Nice ! Can wait to work with new spine support.
And it would be great if Defold can clip / mask collection / game object by simply adding a clipping component :wink:
Clipping non gui is still a pain
