Jolt Physics has been merged into godot 4.4! If you're using godot, please try it out and create an issue in the godot repository if you find a bug.

Many thanks to @mihe for making all of this possible. It has been a fun project!

We're currently porting the game to Godot 4 and so we decided to take the Jolt physics engine for a ride! 😎👍 (🔊) #godotengine #indiedev #indiegame

I haven't tested the Android and iOS builds very extensively, so be on the lookout for any potential issues.

I'm also curious to hear how well it runs on the more specialized Android devices out there, like the various VR headsets.

This is long overdue, but I'm happy to say that we finally have Android and iOS support in Godot Jolt as of version 0.10.0.

Android support in particular should be of interest to you #VR people out there.

Jolt Physics got soft body physics today! There's still a lot of performance optimizations to be done, but you can start playing around with it! https://github.com/jrouwe/JoltPhysics

And yes, I might have tampered with that last one. ✂️

Also, probably worth pointing out that C# does not support nodes from GDExtension, so dealing with these will be limited to GDScript to begin with, unfortunately.

Mikael HermanssonJul 23, 2023

I'm working on getting more appropriate joint nodes in for Godot Jolt, which will allow for things like breakable joints. Needless to say it's tough getting actual work done with these implemented.

Should hopefully be out within the next week or so.

I'm excited to share that a long-running project of mine, called Godot Jolt, has had its initial release.

It's an extension for the @godotengine that integrates the Jolt physics engine to power Godot's 3D physics.

https://github.com/godot-jolt/godot-jolt

You can see it in action in this clip, demonstrated using a slightly modified version of the @gdquest RoboBlast demo.
