* This provides new 3D objects: 3D Box (perfect to create walls, floors, or billboards) and 3D Model (to import objects created in a 3D modeling app).
* 2D and 3D can be mixed in a same game. Each layer of a game can contain 2D objects, 3D objects or a mix of both.
* This allows to build 2D games, 2.5D games and full 3D games: platformers, racing games, FPS, hyper casual games. It's easy to start adding 3D objects to an existing 2D game.
* You can set up a light by adding an ambient light and/or directional light in the effects of a 3D layer. 3D objects can be configured to react to light or ignore it.
* In the future, support for 3D objects will be improved: light objects, animations, etc...
* This object displays a field where the player can type a text.
* The cursor can be moved and the text can be selected and entered like any other input field according to the platform. For example, you can use all the usual keyboard shortcuts or emoji pickers on desktop. On mobile, all the usual gestures are supported, emoji pickers, text selection, clipboard...
* You can choose between different input field types: text, text area, email, password, phone number... This allows the keyboards to be adapted on mobile devices. The password field will also hide what is entered by the user.
* Because the object is way more convenient to use (and actually works on mobile devices) than the Text Entry object, it is recommended you use it almost always instead of the Text Entry object.
* This object has 2 limitations, because it's using the native capabilities of the platform to display a "native" input field: the Z order can't be changed (the object is *always* displayed on top of the game) and no effects can be displayed. Because it's handled by the operating system, it may also slightly differ on each platform.
* It's recommended you avoid displaying the object outside of a menu or a static UI, as it may not always display exactly at a position synchronised with the rest of the rendering of the game, especially if used in a fast paced or moving scene.
* This allows to generate interesting visual effects, which can be controlled by events. For example, you can use an outline on an object to highlight, make the player glow when launching a spell, blur objects, etc...
* A new "effects" tab is now present in the objects editor. From there, you can add visual effects, that were already available for layers, customize them from this editor.
* Actions and conditions are available to manipulate effects and change their parameters during the game.
