Juan Linietsky - 9 August 2017We are launching a Patreon site (https://www.patreon.com/godotengine) to help fund Godot development. Help us develop Godot better and faster by becoming our Patron!
Juan Linietsky - 3 August 2017Khronos, with glTF 2.0, has given us a fantastic open standard for asset exchange format between 3D modelling software and game engines. Here's why we must make it succeed...
Rémi Verschelde - 26 July 2017There is still a long way to go to finalize Godot 3.0 and release it publicly, but we are now ready for some broader testing of the alpha version. The first alpha build comes with many known issues, but also a lot of interesting (and undocumented) features to experiment with and debug.
Rémi Verschelde - 12 July 2017Emmanuel Leblond (touilleMan) just released the first beta of his Python for Godot interface, which will allow developers to use Python 3 and its complete ecosystem as a scripting language in Godot 3.0.
Rémi Verschelde - 25 June 2017Today's beta build for the upcoming Godot 2.1.4 version brings two months worth of development, including both bug fixes and new features, some of which potentially bolder than usual - with the long wait for Godot 3.0, many 2.1.x users grow restless and push to get the latest and shiniest included in the stable branch ;) As such, testers needed to make sure everything works flawlessly!
Nathan GDQuest - 20 June 2017There are but a few days left on the Kickstarter campaign. It's been an enormous success, with over 4 times the initial goal! The backers unlocked every stretch goal, including 4 contributions to the official documentation. Here's what will improve in the coming year.
Rémi Verschelde - 14 June 2017The Godot Engine contributors were not idle during Juan's long holidays - lots of interesting features were implemented over the last two months, and they all converge towards making Godot 3.0 an impressive release! This progress reports covers the work done by all contributors apart from Juan, who will showcase his recent renderer improvements in the next progress report.
Nathan GDQuest - 22 May 2017Do you want to become a better game developer with Godot? GDquest, who makes game creation tutorials with open source tools, is on Kickstarter, with our full support!
Rémi Verschelde - 15 May 2017GDquest, content creator and gamedev teacher of Krita and Godot fame, will soon start a Kickstarter campaign for a professional quality game creation course targeting the upcoming Godot 3! Among Godot developers, we are all thrilled about the project and want it to be a huge success, so mark the date and be sure to support the campaign!
Rémi Verschelde - 12 April 2017Here's the newest maintenance release in the current stable branch, Godot 2.1.3. It features various bug fixes and usability improvements, as well as some new features such as enums in GDScript, the ability to change the cost function in the A-star algorithm, various API additions and a (work in progress) tool to convert 2.1.x projects to the format expected by Godot 3.0 alpha.
Juan Linietsky - 9 April 2017Another month of work, another progress report. This month work was divided into completing the exporters, GDNative (formerly DLScript) and the new particle system.
karroffel - 5 April 2017A short introduction to the new GDNative module (formerly DLScript) and how to use it in a project. This is a very early version, but the overall process will stay the same.
Rémi Verschelde - 28 March 2017Get ready to Meet the Nodes in person: we are organising a Godot event on Saturday 22 April 2017 in Paris, where many Godot developers will be giving talks, lead workshops or just be available to discuss the engine and game development! This will be a great occasion for European community members to meet Godot's lead developer, Juan Linietsky (reduz), who usually lives in Argentina.
Juan Linietsky - 12 March 2017February was spent mostly rewriting the import and export workflow of Godot, so not many pretty visual features were added. At the end of the month, I also went to San Francisco for GDC.
Rémi Verschelde - 16 February 2017Godot's Dec 2016 - Jan 2017 Community Game Jam ended with 41 entries, including some very interesting games! Check the jam winners in this post: Astrid - The Meow Night Shadow, 2 and 3, Two Taps Racer!
Juan Linietsky - 4 February 2017Most of the internal code in Godot was written over a decade ago, and many design decisions that were taken back then, did not stand the test of time. January was spent mostly updating Godot internals and breaking compatibility, now that we have the chance.
Rémi Verschelde - 21 January 2017Here comes a new maintenance release in the current stable branch, Godot 2.1.2. It features various bug fixes and usability improvements, as well as brand new IPv6 support in the networking API, a better audio driver initialization reducing the latency, ternary operators in GDScript and out of the box split screen mode for 2D!
Rémi Verschelde - 18 January 2017The Godot Engine community is officially attending the FOSDEM 2017 in Brussels, Belgium on Feb 4-5, and also organises its own "GodotCon" event in Brussels the next two days (Feb 6-7). All interested Godot users and contributors are invited to join us for a great real life meeting!
Juan Linietsky - 2 January 2017Starting now, and only for the upcoming 3.0 release, HEAD will break compatibility completely. Projects from Godot 1.x and 2.x **will not work** and this is expected.
Juan Linietsky - 31 December 2016It's been a month since the second progress report, and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. This milestone was (and will likely be) the most difficult, due to the techniques that had to be implemented.
Rémi Verschelde - 15 December 2016After the success of the previous game jams in March and June, we launch a new community game jam for the new year, with the theme "Two buttons". Go to https://itch.io/jam/godotjam122016 to partake in the jam, alone or in a team with other community members!
Juan Linietsky - 4 December 2016It's been a month since the first [progress report](https://godotengine.org/article/godots-new-renderer-progress-report-1), and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Little by little every system falls into place, and rendering starts feeling a lot more mature.
Rémi Verschelde - 17 November 2016Three months after the release of Godot 2.1, we finally have the first maintenance release in the current stable branch. Rich of 271 new commits, it brings many bug fixes, enhancements and even some new features backported for the master branch! Highlights are OSX gamepad support, AStar implementation and some advanced drag and drop features in the editor!
Rémi Verschelde - 15 November 2016We decided to skip the planned 2.2 release to work at full steam on the upcoming Godot 3.0 and its new OpenGL ES 3.0 / OpenGL 3.3 renderer. We aim for a Godot 3.0 release in the first quarter of 2017, and it should bring an incredible load of features and improvements. Juan Linietsky will also be working full-time on Godot for the coming months thanks to the Mozilla MOSS award that we received earlier this year.
