Godot 4 Beginners now supports Alpha 9! This version seems stable in my experience, so I recommend trying it with the latest source code.
Content wise I have spent the last few weeks working on the shader demo – this shows off how you can use the all-new global shader parameters to pass information to all the shaders in your game world. I pass around the players position and a texture showing the path the player has walked to grass and snow shaders so they can react in real time.
The approach I took to generating this path texture is ideal for open world games, or large areas with lots of shaders that would want access to the path the player has travelled.
I am now focusing on some more supplementary tutorial content for the YouTube channel and working on the next batch of guides so stay tuned!
