We're hosting GodotFest 25 - GodotCon Europe.
See you in November!
Welcome Zagir - the creator of GDStudio - as a Speaker at @godotfest.com!
What happens when you spend months inside the Godot Editor's source code?

At #GodotFest 2026, Zagir will crack open the editor and look at what Nodes, Controls, resources and the scene tree actually cost.

Great article on the rise of #GodotEngine by @bryantfrancis.me - another sign that we're on the right path with @godotfest.com - where Godot means business!

Godot adoption is rising: what are devs getting out of the engine?
Godot's 'lightweight' features are a major reason why devs are sticking with the open source engine.

Curious about how Fogpiercer was made?

At GodotFest 2025, Kryštof Klestil spoke about the creation of Fogpiercer's card system:

After 9 years of #Unity leading the GMTK Game Jam, #Godot is now the most-used engine.

If this trajectory continues, Godot is well on its way to becoming the de facto engine for independent studios.

#GodotEngine #gamedev #GMTKJam #OpenSource
Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions.

🤖 Godot - 47%
🎮 Unity - 34%
🛠️GameMaker - 5%
🚀 Unreal Engine - 3%
✨ Other - 11%

I have always wished for something like that! This is so cool!
And, I believe, it's made with Godot?

💙
Wanna take a break from AI and code like the old days?

✨ You can totally do it with my mobile app for making games! 🎮🔥

This is again a strong signal for the general adoption and maturity of Godot - but particularly for its ease of use.

At @godotfest.com, you can learn much more about Godot and connect with folks from the Godot community - from professionals to hobbyists!

There are now more games on Steam made in Godot than RPGMaker. And at this pace, probably passing GameMaker in a year.

I immediately got hooked on it!
Now I just need an Android build.

I am so happy and proud we finally got this out! You can truly build for XBOX yourself. PC is the first step - and then, the Console isn't too far!

Let us know your feedback and file issues and feature requests in the repo!

We’re making it easier to build for XBOX on PC with @godotengine.org. Check out our new sample that helps you integrate Microsoft GDK, XBOX Services, and PlayFab directly into Godot:

Civ 3 is my absolute favourite civ of all time. And it's now rebuilt in my favourite engine (@godotengine.org ) with my favourite language (C#). What can a techie ask for?
OpenCiv3 is an open-source recreation of Civilization III for modern hardware, rebuilt in Godot and C#. Native support for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It can import the original graphics and audio if you have the CivIII files. openciv3.org

I still can't believe @blackmagicdesign.bsky.social Da Vinci resolve is free. Made a video with separate audio recording. Then I thought, omg, I need to lio-sync audio. Well, no. It takes like 4 clicks and 30 seconds to sync Audio via waveform.

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow!

This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more.

Is it just me, or are Godot docs extremely slow right now?

Intteresting and sad to see that AI is so ubiquitous and the hate so blind because of all the anti AI purists, that even these anti AI advocates are getting accused of using AI and subsequently abused.

Just don't hate on each other. Don't boycott anyone because they had themselves helped by AI.
