Ernest Lee - 4 January 2021To supplement Godot's existing import capabilities for the glTF 2.0 open format for 3D assets, Godot 4.0 now includes support for exporting Godot scenes as glTF 2.0. This import/export workflow allows a seamless transition from and to 3D modelling and animation software, giving artists and designers greater flexibility to use each tool for what it can do best.
Hugo Locurcio - 31 December 2020While 2020 was a difficult year for most of us, it's been a great year for Godot development! In the spirit of last year's retrospective article, we made a video showcasing various features that have been developed in 2020.
Pāvels Nadtočajevs - 29 December 2020Report on the complex text layouts support implementation progress, including changes to RichTextEdit class, compatibility and custom control implementation details.
Fabio Alessandrelli - 24 December 2020The Web Editor reaches beta (3.2.4 beta 4), GDNative lands on the web, thread-enabled HTML5 builds now come with an improved audio driver using the AudioWorklet API.
Camille Mohr-Daurat - 19 December 2020We hired Camille Mohr-Daurat to work on the 2D and 3D physics engines for Godot 4.
Hugo Locurcio - 15 December 2020This week, we've interviewed Little Red Dog Games' lead developer Ryan Hewer about their latest project, Rogue State Revolution.
Rémi Verschelde - 11 December 2020It is with great excitement that we announce that the Godot Engine project is receiving support funded by a grant from Facebook Reality Labs to further the development of Virtual Reality (VR) features within Godot.
Rémi Verschelde - 11 December 2020Here's a new feature-packed beta build for the upcoming Godot 3.2.4: GDNative support for HTML5, MP3 support, FBX import fixes, and more!
Hugo Locurcio - 7 December 2020We are proud to announce the official Godot showcase is making a return after 3 years of absence! The new showcase focuses on high-quality, published projects but also features a few projects that had successful crowdfunding campaigns.
Nathan GDQuest - 4 December 2020Some of you like the docs for what it covers already; others dislike it for what it lacks. The team's well-aware there is always room for improvement, and so they hired me to work part-time on it since September. Here are all the changes you can already enjoy today!
Julian Murgia - 3 December 2020Given the international situation, we are going online for our next Godot conference in 2021! Online GodotCon 2021 will happen on the 23rd of January 2021, with pre-recorded talks and then live Q&As with the speakers, as well as a dedicated chat platform for attendees to socialize together. We're now asking all interested users to send us proposals for talks, demos, etc. for the event.
Gilles Roudiere - 1 December 2020As you may already know, I now have been hired for a month to work on the TileMap and TileSet editors. My goal here is to improve the UX of working with tiles, making it both easier to use and more powerful. So here is a first progress report on how things are going.
Juan Linietsky - 28 November 2020While the focus of Godot 4.0 Vulkan rewrite has largely been improvements to the 3D engine, the 2D side will also see several improvements.
Rémi Verschelde - 27 November 2020This third beta build for the upcoming Godot 3.2.4 fixes some regressions from previous snapshots, and adds a native ARM64 build for the recently released Apple M1 chip.
Matias Goldberg - 25 November 2020My name is Matias N. Goldberg, I normally maintain the 2.x branch of Ogre, and I wrote Betsy, a GPU texture compressor that runs on GPUs.
Rémi Verschelde - 18 November 2020While development keeps going at full speed towards Godot 4.0, a lot of work is also being done on the `3.2` branch for the upcoming Godot 3.2.4: better FBX, 2D transform snapping, configurable amount of lights per object, and more! And of course, lots of bug and regression fixes since the previous beta build.
Pāvels Nadtočajevs - 10 November 2020Report on the complex text layouts support implementation progress, including changes to Godot's Font resources, and UI mirroring and BiDi implementation details.
Gordon MacPherson - 5 November 2020Gordon MacPherson authored the new rewrite of the FBX importer in Godot 3.2. We had originally added alpha FBX support but this first version had many limitations for complex, commercial-grade models, especially around animations. After a lot of debugging and research, the importer has been fully rewritten to better implement FBX support in Godot specifically, and vastly increase the compatibility with commercial FBX assets. This new importer will be available in the upcoming Godot 3.2.4, as well as Godot 4.0.
Fabio Alessandrelli - 27 October 2020An alpha stage Godot Web Editor update, more news on GDNative for the Web, and many upcoming improvements to the Web export.
George Marques - 22 October 2020GDScript now has specific instructions for typed code, allowing a faster execution when types are known at compile time. This is the beginning of optimization in GDScript and the article shows a few details on how it was done and why it's faster.
Rémi Verschelde - 21 October 2020Godot 3.2.3 was released a month ago and the reception was great! It focused mostly on fixing bugs and therefore we were somewhat conservative on what could be merged before the release. Now that we're confident that 3.2.3 works well, we can take some time to add new features to the `3.2` branch while you wait for Godot 4.0 :)
Camille Mohr-Daurat - 20 October 2020Progress report on the changes made in the X11 display server, the window management system for Godot 4 on Linux.
Pāvels Nadtočajevs - 14 October 2020Report on the complex text layouts support implementation progress, part one: TextServer interface implementation details.
Juan Linietsky - 8 October 2020The turn of porting the GPU particle system to Godot 4.0 has arrived. This was the final feature that had to be ported over. Like all the rest of the features ported, it managed to get massive improvements.
