[Solved] Why no 3D viewport?

Why no 3D viewport? I seen a few posts on here about this, but some of them going back years. I have seen over time GDevelop implement more and more AI driven features, which is great, but I don’t understand why something like 3D viewport feature is not added as a similar priority if its been asked for, for a few years, all I want is to be able to navigate the 3D scene in GDevelop on the X, Y ,Z axis’, its really awkward to make 3D games with just a top down view. Overall, I am asking why no 3D viewport for years? Is it just low priority feature request or another reason?

This year we should get 3d editor
At least that is the plan

It would put this game engine miles ahead of its competition if it had this one feature I reckon, they are doing AI kinda well right now as well, but to add a decent way to make 3D would be amazing.

We announced the 3D editor on our blog.

Stay tuned to our social media channels for updates about the 3D editor.
We shared a preview a few days ago, and more are coming in the next few days.

That single post made my week. Just a rough week (and month, haha!), but when I saw the preview, I got REALLY excited! GDevelop has no idea how much this is going to help with my current project. The heightmaps alone are going to allow me to completely revamp the level designs I have. Cannot wait!

Do you know of the timeline form implementation and release? I read through the blog post and looked on Trello, I know these things take time but do you have any sort of release date for this feature in mind?

I’m aware of the release year we’re aiming for: 2025.
