Latest

We're excited to announce a new minor update to the Stride game engine, packed with numerous fixes and improvements across various areas. This update focuses on enhancing the core, improving performance, fixing bugs, and expanding the feature set for assets and game development workflows.

Several performance optimizations have been made for geometric primitives, reducing memory usage and improving rendering efficiency. We’re also thrilled to welcome new contributors from the open-source community, including @tymokvo, @Arc-huangjingtong, @minktusk, and @timcassell. Thank you for your support!

Ongoing work continues on the cross-platform asset compiler, with some assets already being compiled on Linux. Special thanks to @Jklawreszuk for your contributions, but there's still more to do, let’s keep pushing forward! 🙂

And a big thank you to all our existing contributors for your continued dedication and hard work. Your contributions are the foundation of Stride’s growth and success! 🌟
