If you've worked with Godot to make 3D games you probably had trouble getting your characters behave reliably. If you were working on a movement-based game for any amount of time, you've probably felt the pain.
@unfa The problem is that it's not a suggestion. It's completely unconstructive. A constructive proposal is "there is someone who can take care of the problem" and then discuss the conditions under which he will do it. And "hire someone" — well, it's not serious at all. Who and on what terms? What will be required of him? The developers know the problems with physics, which follows from this post. But the challenge is to find the right specialist.
@Woodcat No. A non-constructive (a.k.a non-actionable) feedback would be "this sux, wtf are you doing?!?".
Freeman's breakdown goes into tight details of what is broken, why it is broken and what needs to be there instead. That is actionable, you can post on Godot website and socials about a paid position for a physics programmer and get this done. We need someone who knows C++, knows or can learn Godot codebase and has at least a basic grasp on game character physics. The hard research is done.
@Woodcat Also if you see something that can be done about this issue, you can contribute to it yourself. Spreading the word is the easiest way. Talking to devs and Freeman about who to hire and then seeking such people online is something you just pointed out yourself. Without Freeman's write-up there wouldn't be much to go off of. Freeman got the ball rolling. Complaining that he didn't do everything already isn't very constructive of yourself, would you agree? You can do better than that! :)
@Woodcat Have fun remaining idle and criticizing people who take action from the heights of your keyboard throne room. I don't have time for that. Bye!
2/3 Actually, the presence of these conditions shows that the circle of potential candidates is extremely small. And engine developers know such candidates better than I do. And if no one specially deals with physics, it means that such candidates are not satisfied with something or they just don't exist.
Also, I'm not the first one to get personal, but since I got caught up I have to respond accordingly.
3/3 I promote Godot on various platforms. Which could potentially attract the right people. The links are attached. So this accusation is demagogic from the impotence to object on the merits.
And such "suggestions" are whining and nothing more.
@Bimbam_tm@mihe It'd be a good starting point, but not all of it. Jolt cannot go beyond what Godot's core provides it with. So Godot's physics core needs to be fixed to provide reliable and complete information first.
Freeman goes into detail in the article about it :)
