Roadmap

Contributions welcome!

Future Features​

Some things we'll add in the near future:

Live Reload​

Saving a scene, or modifying a resource in the editor could show in the headset immediately, without having to recompile/redeploy/rerun the Xcode project. Iteration time in gamedev is important!

Leverage groups and layers more​

We could provide an API to prevent a subset of your Godot scene from being rendered by RealityKit by definiing a "Reality-Kit-hidden" group, for example.

Run Godot on background thread (optionally)​

RealityKit is a relatively heavyweight presence on the main thread. It could be beneficial to have an option to use all those Apple Silicon cores to run Godot on a background thread for more parallelism, and faster framerates.

Implement more Godot Nodes​

Some Godot nodes are currently unimplemented but would be useful/performant to have RealityKit versions of:

Static library dependencies​

Adding GodotVision as a package dependency currently means for a fresh build, you must build SwiftGodot, SwiftGodotKit, and GodotVision from source. We could provide a .xcframework for GodotVision with ready-to-use build artifacts ready for simulator and device builds, reducing your game's initial build time.

Integration with Godot XR Tools​

See what concepts can map cleanly to the Vision Pro world.

Someday...maybe...?​

  • Use (or support optionally?) a non-headless (ideally, Metal) rendering server. Then we could render 2D viewports (for things like worldspace UI or cameras-rendering-to-textures).

  • Add an implementation of Godot's high-level multiplayer based on Apple's GroupSession abstraction so that making Godot experiences shared over Persona Facetime calls is effortless.

  • Document and simplify the process to build the whole stack, starting with Godot, so that users can easily make slim builds including only the Godot features they need.
