Juan Linietsky - 8 July 2020The project situation changed a lot for the better in the past few months, with a steady growth in the amount of users and contributors, and a nice boost to our funding situation, freeing donation funds for new purposes. Therefore, we discussed with core contributors that this is a good time to change how the project manages donations, and give our whole crowdfunding a much-needed update.
George Marques - 6 July 2020Report on the new GDScript code featuring the new type checking, warnings, code completion and a few more details.
Ignacio Roldán Etcheverry - 3 July 2020Godot is getting extensions for Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, including debugging support and code completion of Godot strings.
Juan Linietsky - 28 June 2020As work progresses on Godot 4.0 at a steady pace, a novel method of creating full-scene global illumination has been added in the master branch.
Rémi Verschelde - 26 June 2020Godot contributors are happy to release version 3.2.2 of our free and open source game engine. It adds various features such as C# support for iOS, 2D batching for the GLES2 renderer, a new plugin system for Android, DTLS support in the networking API, and more! Numerous bugs have been fixed and the documentation and translations have been greatly enhanced.
Rémi Verschelde - 25 June 2020Yet another release candidate for Godot 3.2.2, including a few new bugfixes that warrant some testing before we can confidently tag it as 3.2.2-stable. We're getting there!
Rémi Verschelde - 22 June 2020The upcoming Godot 3.2.2 is turning out to be quite feature-packed and we've been taking the time to iterate since the first dev snapshot mid-April. This new RC 3 build fixes a couple recent regressions. It's now considered release-ready, so unless new regressions are reported in coming days, we plan to release 3.2.2-stable in a day or two.
Rémi Verschelde - 18 June 2020The upcoming Godot 3.2.2 is turning out to be quite feature-packed and we've been taking the time to iterate with four beta snapshots. Last week saw a first release candidate, and now's the second one with a couple regression fixes and more bugfixes and usability improvements.
Rémi Verschelde - 12 June 2020The upcoming Godot 3.2.2 is turning out to be quite feature-packed and we've been taking the time to iterate with four beta snapshots before reaching a state that we're confident enough to label as release candidate. This new RC 1 build should be quite stable and we hope that many Godot 3.2.x users will give it a try and help us confirm that it's ready to take the place of the current 3.2.1 stable build.
Juan Linietsky - 11 June 2020The funding situation of Godot has been changing for the past months, as we received more grants and donations, and reorganizing where the funding is going, deciding hires, etc. takes considerable time as well as the right timing.
Rémi Verschelde - 5 June 2020Yet another snapshot on the way to the feature-packed Godot 3.2.2! This beta 4 fixes some regressions and adds more bug fixes to make the upcoming release even better.
George Marques - 1 June 2020Showing the work for the new GDScript parser, why it is done and how it improves over the old one. Also show a bit of new features.
Fabio Alessandrelli - 29 May 2020Bringing the Godot Editor to the web: lowering the barrier for newcomers while enhancing the HTML5 export.
Rémi Verschelde - 22 May 2020After refining our Godot 3.2 release with bug fixes in 3.2.1, we're now looking at integrating some new features that didn't make it into the 3.2 merge window but have been further developed and backported since. We already had two betas, and here's the next round with Godot 3.2.2 beta 3.
Juan Linietsky - 9 May 2020In most game engines, a lightmap is baked for a whole scene and there is only one of it at the same time. In Godot, different scenes can have their own lightmaps and you can mix and match them however you like.
Rémi Verschelde - 7 May 2020After refining our Godot 3.2 release with bug fixes in 3.2.1, we're now looking at integrating some new features that didn't make it into the 3.2 merge window but have been further developed and backported since. We published a first beta a few weeks ago, and here's the next round with Godot 3.2.2 beta 2.
George Marques - 4 May 2020GDScript is being rewritten. In this article we talk about the new tokenizer—the first step in the compilation process.
Juan Linietsky - 1 May 2020It's been three months since a Vulkan progress report! I know you guys missed them, so I made sure to work extra hard to have something nice to make up. It feels great to be back to doing graphics programming after two months refactoring the core engine.
Juan Linietsky - 25 April 2020The showreel for 2020 is up! As every year, more and more quality submissions fall in our hands, making the selection job very difficult. This year was not the exception, and it was even more difficult as wehad had record submission amount (over 200) so, this time, several core contributors took the work of ranking and voting them to decide which would make up the final reel.
Rémi Verschelde - 19 April 2020After refining our Godot 3.2 release with bug fixes in 3.2.1 last month, it's time to integrate some of the new features that didn't make it into the 3.2 merge window. Notably, Godot 3.2.2 is going to add three major features: C# support for the iOS platform, 2D batching for the GLES2 renderer, and a re-architecture of the Android plugin system.
Juan Linietsky - 17 April 2020Work towards the complete 4.0 feature set continues at a vibrant pace (Stay tuned for the progress report at the end of the month!). Today I will discuss a new feature that most likely takes a bit more time to understand than just looking at an image.
lawnjelly - 9 April 2020While Juan's work on the Vulkan rendering backend is ongoing in the master branch, the rest of the rendering team have not been idle. They have been working on many bug fixes and some improvements to the OpenGL rendering in the 3.x branch, and one of the most awaited is the addition of batching of 2D primitives in the GLES2 renderer, which should significantly increase performance in a lot of 2D games.
Ignacio Roldán Etcheverry - 6 April 2020Godot is getting iOS support for C# games. There is also a new system for using Godot signals as C# events.
Juan Linietsky - 28 March 2020As promised in my previous post, the core refactoring work I am undertaking took two months to complete. This means rewriting large parts of the core engine for consistency and features.
