Schedule for GodotCon 2020 in Brussels

GodotCon Brussels 2020 starts in one week (3-4 Feb 2020), and many of us are already getting ready to travel to Brussels for the Godot Sprint and FOSDEM this week. Here's a first version of the schedule for the GodotCon, with presentations of the confirmed speakers. Note that we will likely have a few more talks added to the schedule in the coming days, and the current order is not final (hence why there is also no time schedule yet).

Release candidate: Godot 3.2 RC 3

Third time's the charm, as they say! This third Release Candidate brings a number of bug fixes which have been contributed in the past week and are worth having in the upcoming 3.2 release. This new build should help validate them while also giving some more time to testers to find potential other regressions from Godot 3.1. The stable 3.2 release is now just around the corner :)

Release candidate: Godot 3.2 RC 2

At long last, Godot 3.2 is nearing completion and we are happy to publish this second Release Candidate, to encourage a broad testing of what should become Godot 3.2-stable in coming days. RC 2 fixes a regression for some users with the GLES3 renderer, which preventing opening a project using the default environment due to heavy calculations for the irradience map generation.

Release candidate: Godot 3.2 RC 1

At long last, Godot 3.2 is nearing completion and we are happy to publish this first Release Candidate, to encourage a broad testing of what should become Godot 3.2-stable in coming days. Godot 3.2 ends up being much bigger than we originally intended, but the 10 months of development amount to a major release that will be well worth upgrading to for any Godot user.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 6

After a very busy week with many important bug fixes (plus a bunch of low risk enhancements and a lot of documentation updates), here's Godot 3.2 beta 6! As mentioned in the previous post, we're close to the Release Candidate stage and I hesitated to name this build as such. Since there were a number of big changes though I opted for making it another beta, and if all goes well testing it we should have a RC 1 in coming days.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 5

Happy new year! After a brief holiday where contributors kept fixing many issues, we now release Godot 3.2 beta 5 to iterate upon the relatively good state that we had with the previous beta. Both the master branch and the official buildsystem are now starting to be quite reliable, and we should be ready for a release candidate soon.

A decade in retrospective and future

The dawn of a new decade looms and there is a lot of excitement about the future of Godot! But it was not always like this, as the previous decade did not go as expected..

New Godot T-shirt design: Call for content

In preparation for the next GodotCon in February 2020, we're planning to make new T-shirts with Godot branding to sell to contributors and engine users, as well as visitors at FOSDEM. This year, we'd like to give our wonderful community the opportunity to contribute T-shirt concepts that we could choose from, so that our 2020 T-shirt design is as good as it can be!

Meet the community at FOSDEM and GodotCon 2020

Once again we will be at FOSDEM in Brussels with a Godot stand, and for the first time some of us also organize a game development-focused devroom at FOSDEM. And as usual, we organize our GodotCon event right next to the FOSDEM, on 3 & 4 February 2020 in Brussels. For Godot contributors, we will also have our usual Godot Sprint on 30 & 31 January 2020.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 3

Many fixes have been applied since our previous beta build, encompassing rendering issues, port-specific issues notably on iOS and Windows, and many other fixes all around the editor. Due to issues with our build process, this release does not include the usual Mono build, but we are hard at work to fix it and provide a Mono build again with 3.2 beta 4.

Maintenance release: Godot 3.1.2

While Godot 3.2 is shaping up nicely in the late beta stage, it's time for a long overdue update to the stable 3.1 branch: Godot 3.1.2 is now released with over 400 commits worth of bug fixes and improvements over the previous 3.1.1 version.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 2

We now release Godot 3.2 beta 2 with two weeks of bug fixes over the previous snapshot. Notable changes include the addition of WebAssembly export templates for the Mono build, as well as C# 8 support via Mono 6.6.0 Preview.

Release candidate: Godot 3.1.2 RC 1

It's been over 6 months since Godot 3.1.1-stable, so the upcoming 3.1.2 release is both long overdue and accordingly packed with important bug fixes and enhancements. As we cherry-picked close to 400 commits to the 3.1 branch since the previous release, extensive testing is necessary to ensure that no regression crept in under disguise of a bugfix. This is why we publish this release candidate for 3.1.2 to gather test reports from the community.

Major update for Visual Shaders in Godot 3.2 (part 2)

This is the second blog post describing enhancements for visual shaders and shader scripts landed in Godot 3.2. Much time and effort was spent adding a lot of new things to enhance the overall experience developing shaders.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 1

After three well-tested and quite stable alpha builds, we're now ready to enter the beta stage for the upcoming Godot 3.2 release. The beta stage corresponds for us to a release freeze, which means that we will only consider critical bug fixes for merging in the master branch, and that until Godot 3.2 is released.
