It's this time of the year! Godot Community Poll 2023 is now out!
Godot will have a booth and a talk at BIG Festival 2023, which takes place in São Paulo, Brazil from June 28th to July 2nd
We outline our plan for future Godot releases and Godot 4.1 specifically, which you can expect at the end of June, after three months of feature merging and one month of bug fixing.
We are honored to announce that Epic Games is offering Godot Engine a place on Epic Games' own digital distribution platform, the Epic Games Store.
Godot 4.0 is coming out soon. It includes major improvements all across the board in both features, performance and usability. Still, one of the biggest questions the community has is: How does it compare with mainstream commercial offerings?
The year 2022 was very special for us. We reached a lot of milestones within Godot and also in the community. This blog post will offer a small retrospective of the year.
We are closer to releasing Godot 4.0. No matter the amount of time dedicated to testing and profiling — bugs and issues are inevitable. Still, we intend to follow 4.0 with bug fix releases to ensure a stable experience as soon as possible.
Software Freedom Conservancy and the Godot leadership are excited to share their decision that the Godot project has reached a level of success for which makes sense for Godot to have its own independent foundation.
Godot's visual scripting language, VisualScript, was introduced in Godot 3.0, almost five years ago. Despite our continuous effort, it never gained traction and the path to improve it was never clear. Because of this, for Godot 4.0, we decided to accept that the approach we took from the start was simply not the right one and decided to remove it from the engine. If enough volunteer interest exists, it may be moved to an extension.
We're determined to deliver a stable release of Godot 4.0 as soon as possible. To achieve this, we are going to enter the feature freeze phase (beta) for Godot 4.0, to shift our focus towards stabilizing the existing functionality and fixing bugs.

As the days passes and the team and contributors work hard to deliver Godot 4.x and Godot 3.4, we want to shine a light on the amazing projects that are made using Godot.
As the alpha of Godot 4.0 comes closer and closer, we wanted to spend some words to clarify the direction that Godot 4 has taken in regard of rendering back-ends.
