Rémi Verschelde - 3 February 2021Godot contributors are moving from good old IRC to a new self-hosted chat platform based on Rocket.Chat! It provides many modern features that will enable a better communication flow between contributors, as well as providing a central place for all team or topic-specific discussion channels around Godot development.
Hugo Locurcio - 20 January 2021Starting from today, there is a new User groups page on the Godot Engine website! This page replaces the old User groups page by featuring a community map that can be freely navigated and contributed to.
Hugo Locurcio - 31 December 2020While 2020 was a difficult year for most of us, it's been a great year for Godot development! In the spirit of last year's retrospective article, we made a video showcasing various features that have been developed in 2020.
Camille Mohr-Daurat - 19 December 2020We hired Camille Mohr-Daurat to work on the 2D and 3D physics engines for Godot 4.

Juan Linietsky - 26 August 2020In the past month, the excess donations accumulated so we are finally able to offer enough security to do an extra hire. Beginning November, Gilles Roudière (Groud) will be working full-time for the project, dedicated to 2D and general editor usability!
Juan Linietsky - 22 July 2020What has been an idea (and something many community members suggested for a long time) is now a reality. We will be hosting a Live Q&A session with Godot core contributors the last week of each month.

Juan Linietsky - 10 July 2020During the past year, Ignacio Etcheverry worked on significantly improving C# support and its integration in Godot, adding support for Android, HTML5 and iOS, as well as popular third party IDEs. This was financed thanks to a generous donation from Microsoft. Unfortunately, due to the Covid situation, the renewal of this grant has been suspended and is uncertain.
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.

Rémi Verschelde - 11 February 2020Godot 3.2 was released two weeks ago, and it's now time to go full steam ahead towards our next milestone, Godot 4.0.
