- Variants allows to restyle custom objects
- They can be customized with the graphical editor
- The asset store will progressively use them notably for UI elements (buttons, sliders)
* When an object is selected (or when "Edit object" button is clicked in the properties panel after choosing an instance), the properties panel will show the properties of the object.
* This allows for fast edition of most elements of an object: appearance, properties, but also behaviors, variables and effects. Most workflow and iterations on your game should be faster, from adapting the appearance of a text to tweaking behaviors and updating the preview to check the result in realtime.
* Still to do:
* Properly handle effects (disable 3D effects) for layers
* Handle hot reloading properly
* Avoid duplicating the configuration of the custom object inside each object created from it. Instead, only store the modified values.
* Add a "Extract as a custom object ("prefab")" when selecting instances in a scene.
* Add a dialog to give choice between 2D or 3D object when creating one.
* Make sure "behavior shared data" are properly handled (physics, pathfinding...)
* Check if we need to give an expression to translate coordinates from the parent to the local custom object.
* Ensure a deleted custom object does not break the editor

* Tilemaps made with [LDtk](https://ldtk.io/), a modern 2D level editor, can be now used directly. Make sure to save your map made in LDtk as a JSON file, create a new Tilemap object in GDevelop and in the Tilemap field, choose the LDtk file.
* Tilesets used by the LDtk Tilemap are automatically imported in your game - you don't need to import them separately.
* For more information, read about the [Tilemap object on the wiki](https://wiki.gdevelop.io/gdevelop5/objects/tilemap).
