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.
Rémi Verschelde - 11 December 2020It is with great excitement that we announce that the Godot Engine project is receiving support funded by a grant from Facebook Reality Labs to further the development of Virtual Reality (VR) features within Godot.
Hugo Locurcio - 7 December 2020We are proud to announce the official Godot showcase is making a return after 3 years of absence! The new showcase focuses on high-quality, published projects but also features a few projects that had successful crowdfunding campaigns.

Nathan GDQuest - 10 September 2020We hired Nathan from GDQuest to work on the online user manual. He will work on the workflow, content organization, and improving the Getting Started guide.
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 - 13 July 2020It's this time of the year again! Help us better understand who is using Godot, what are your needs and towards where Godot usage is trending by completing the anonymous community poll!
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.

Juan Linietsky - 26 February 2020Godot communities keep growing steadily around the world. As a result, in the past years, many local groups related to Godot usage and development have started to appear in different continents, countries and cities. We now start a Regional Communities team to connect those groups together and give them better visibility on official Godot platforms.
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. The Vulkan port which had been worked on in a dedicated branch is now getting merged in our main development branch, which has a few implications on what to expect from the 'master' branch and how pending Pull Requests will be impacted.

Rémi Verschelde - 4 November 2019The Godot community now has a Code of Conduct, which applies to all users and contributors on all Godot community platforms, both online and at Godot-related events.

Juan Linietsky - 4 September 2019The past two years, the project kept growing at a steady pace. One of the most important consequences of this growth process is that our GitHub issue tracker has exploded with ideas, proposals and bug reports.
