Godot editor game embedding just got a big upgrade

"After Godot 4.4 got the amazing \"Unity\" game embedding feature from [YeldhamDev's pull request](https:\/\/github.com\/godotengine\/godot\/pull\/97257) - which is available to test in the latest Godot dev releases - you would be excused for thinking it couldn't get any better - at least not until 4.5 or so.\r\n\r\nBut the 4.4 release has more tricks up its sleeve! Last night, developer [Hilderin](https:\/\/github.com\/Hilderin) got a new [pull request](https:\/\/github.com\/godotengine\/godot\/pull\/99010) merged into the 4.4 release, which embeds the main game window into the editor! \r\n\r\n![](\/files\/de97deb1-1d33-4043-92ff-f56abcb87019)\r\n\r\nThe developer writes:\r\n> This implementation places the running game window as a child of the editor and embeds it inside the Game Workspace. The running game remains a separate process, with all keys and inputs handled in a separate event loop to maintain performance even when embedded.\r\n\r\nOne downside is that this feature only works on Windows and Linux, with a Mac OSX implementation unfortunately hindered by some platform limitations. Maybe in the future!\r\n\r\nIf you want to read more about how this will work in Godot 4.4, check out the detailed notes in the pull request: [GitHub PR#99010](https:\/\/github.com\/godotengine\/godot\/pull\/99010).\r\n\r\nAre you excited for Godot 4.4 yet?"
