Godot 4.0: New Features demos

It's here!

After a very long wait (even by Godot standards!), we finally have our hands on Godot 4.

In this project, we've built upwards of 20 simple demos you can play with and learn from to try some of Godot 4.0's new features.

Feel free to run the project and test them out!

A Few Things of Note

Additionally to the demos you can run from the menu, we have some examples accessible only in the editor.

• in additional/custom_resources, you'll find a demonstration of custom resource exports, grouped exports, auto-generation documentation, and generally, the new inspector panel and export features
• in additional/POT_generation, we explain how to generate POT (translation) files
• in additional/snippets, you'll find a good number of examples of the new GDScript features and syntax
• in 2d_particles, there's an additional rainy scene
• in networking, you'll find no less than six different network architectures, which we tried to keep as simple as possible, demonstrating different setups.
