Godot 4 is in Beta!

I just released a video covering Godot 4 finally having its first beta release and marking the end of the alpha updates.

Also included is an overview of the content currently in the course.

What happens now

Over the last few week's I have been hard at work making demo content for the all-new compute shaders in Godot 4, writing the next written guide on the topic of Vulkan and struggling updating the course to recent alpha versions.

Unfortunately, I encountered breaking issues in alpha 15, then just as I got the course working in alpha 16 - another alpha version and news of the beta came out. As a result, all my focus over the next week is on updating the course to work in Beta 1 so you can all try it out as soon as possible.

This will include the compute shader code but not a demo scene. The next maintenance update will add the demo scene as well as the next written guide.

I am really excited for the stability and reduced maintenance work for me the Beta should bring.

Following that maintenance update, I will be adding the compute shader demo and vulkan written guides so stay posted!

Have fun in the beta and see you in the next one!
