And this bold statement is not (only) marketing speak, the winner of GitHub Game Off 2017 was indeed a Godot-made game by Securas, Daemon vs Demon. The 2018 edition of the month-long jam focusing on free and open source game development tools is about to start again on November 1st. currently at the alpha stage.

We used Fracteed's demo to showcase the engine, along with Zylann's Wallrider. Enthusiasts, hobbyists, and even some Unity users looking for an alterative to their game engine! More importantly, we met people who are deeply involved into the game developpment community. We met a lot of friendly people interested in Godot.

A very common complaint when using shadowmaps in Godot is that tweaking shadow bias is extremely difficult compared to other game engines. It can't be edited in-engine, but it supports shader variants using a custom syntax. Alpha is still some months away, but it's getting closer every day!

Thanks to the development work done by Alket Rexhepi and Bojidar Marinov , this frontend will soon reach the alpha status and be announced officially, so that all community members can start submitting assets to the library. Editing such properties is possible too, but changes won't be saved (use regular live editing for this).

In those applications, animation is edited as Bezier curves and many times happens naturally as a result of modifiers such as IK (Inverse Kinematics). alpha is around the corner now (we have been pushing pre-alpha builds recently), so looking forward to a release soon!

Changing the resolution of a finished mesh (for a mobile game, for example) requires an even less detailed model to run efficiently, forcing the modeler to recreate it from scratch. Most game engines also require multiple levels of asset detailing, which requires the use of multiple assets and leads to additional production and running costs.

It's much, much simpler and the reason people use game engines in the first place :). Other game engines force you to write shaders yourself for different rendering passes (such as deferred, forward base, forward addition, shadow, pre-z pass, etc). render queue position, render type such as alpha or opaque, etc.).

But the “1” in beta 1 means that it’s only the first step of the journey, and like for the alpha phase, we’re going to release new beta snapshots roughly every other week. We’re now at beta 3, making good progress on fixing the issues that testers are reporting. Multi-caret support in TextEdit and script editors ( GH-61902 ).

The new 3D engine is outstanding, with many features out-of-the-box that are still not common in other mainstream engines. The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. In Godot 3.0, writing shaders is very easy! Bullet Physics backend.
