Juan Linietsky - 10 August 2016There is a common misundertanding in the industry about us, Godot devs, trying to reinvent the wheel because we like it. This could not be further away from the truth.
Juan Linietsky - 9 August 2016After almost six months of hard work, we are proudly presenting you the marvellous Godot Engine 2.1. Just like 2.0, this version focuses almost exclusively on further improving usability and the editor interface.
Rémi Verschelde - 3 August 2016The 2.1-stable release is imminent, so to make sure everything will work as expected, here's a new release candidate with its load of bugfixing and small enhancements.
Juan Linietsky - 24 July 2016Our first Release Candidate for Godot 2.1 is here! If you don't find enough bugs, this will be our final candidate, so better get testing!
Rémi Verschelde - 14 July 2016The class reference has seen a lot of work over the last 3 months, and could still use more hands to help document all the classes, methods, constants, member variables and signals for the complete Godot API! With a handful of contributors it's a huge job, but with the help of the community we can make it pretty fast!
Juan Linietsky - 12 July 2016After 5 months of development and more than 1,600 commits, we are pretty happy with the state of the upcoming 2.1 version, and therefore release a beta for the community to test and give feedback upon! This new releases had again an important focus on usability, making Godot a very convenient and pleasing engine to use!
Rémi Verschelde - 9 July 2016Godot 2.0.4 is released, with many bug fixes and improvements, as well as greatly enhanced documentation and new versions for embedded libraries!
Rémi Verschelde - 27 June 2016We added a Showcase page to the website, to show the world that yes, Godot is a great engine used to make creative and good looking games!
Juan Linietsky - 22 June 2016Mozilla awards Godot Engine USD 20,000 as part of the MOSS “Mission Partners” program, to support the development of Godot's WebAssembly and WebGL 2 integration.
Rémi Verschelde - 3 June 2016After the success of the previous game jam in March, we launch a new community game jam for the month of June 2016, with the theme "Procedural". Go to https://itch.io/jam/godotjam062016 to partake in the jam, alone or in a team with other community members!
Rémi Verschelde - 28 May 2016Internationalization support has been added to the editor in the current development branch! Translators are now encouraged to contribute as many languages as possible so that we can have a great multilingual 2.1 release!
Rémi Verschelde - 13 May 2016Godot 2.0.3 is released, with many bug fixes and improvements, updated documentation, and various interesting distribution changes!
Rémi Verschelde - 27 April 2016Godot's API reference is far from complete, but it's an effort to which every member of the community can partake! We organise a class reference writing campaign to aim towards 100% completion for Godot 2.1!
Rémi Verschelde - 8 April 2016Features various bug fixes and editor usability improvements, notably in the script editor. This time, the official binaries are also built without OpenSSL and not compressed with UPX.
Rémi Verschelde - 4 April 2016Some members of the community have set up a new Godot Developers forum, with the contents from the old forum as well as many new features to showcase games and share content. We also set up an official YouTube channel for Godot and uploaded a showcase video of some very nice games developed with Godot!
Juan Linietsky - 1 April 2016APRIL FOOLS' DAY JOKE! -- The most important feedback we got at GDC is that Godot is different from the most popular game engines, and thus confusing and quite badly known in the industry. So in order to become more popular we decided to make Godot more like the other mainstream engines, by taking some radical decisions.
Juan Linietsky - 19 March 2016GDC (or Game Developer's Conference) is an event hosted every year in San Francisco at some point of March. The point of GDC is to reunite as much as possible of the videogame development industry in a single week. The past week, we took Godot to this event!
Rémi Verschelde - 7 March 2016After the lengthy development of Godot 2.0, we decided to try to have a shorter release cycle (therefore with several releases in the 2.x branch instead of the massive 2.1 release planned up to now) and to provide maintenance releases for the current stable branch. As a start, Godot 2.0.1 is released with several usability enhancements and bug fixes.
Juan Linietsky - 27 February 2016For a while users have requested they can extend Godot without having to modify the core C++ codebase. We have begun implementing this in the form of plugins. Support is experimental on GitHub HEAD but there should be enough resources to get to work.
Juan Linietsky - 23 February 2016Godot 2.0 is out! This release is special because our team has grown a lot. We have more regular contributors, a documentation team, a bug triage team and a much larger community! Godot keeps growing and becoming more and more awesome.
Rémi Verschelde - 21 February 2016Godot Engine has a new home! A new website was designed from the ground up with a modular design, so that it can easily be extended and customized to fit our needs. You'll now find a Q&A section where the community can share its knowledge, and a new documentation system that can be contributed to directly via pull requests!
Juan Linietsky - 14 February 2016On a day like today, two years ago Godot was open sourced.
Juan Linietsky - 9 February 2016Finally, a couple of weeks (and hundreds of fixes) after the Beta, we are proud to present our first Release Candidate! This engine version should be much more stable and, if no serious bugs are found, will become 2.0 stable.
Juan Linietsky - 26 January 2016After a long, long time in development Godot 2.0 is now in beta!
