As a relatively young game engine on the market (at least with regards to our open sourcing two years ago ), we are often asked to showcase what are the features of the engine. But an engine such as Godot has hundreds of features catering to different use cases, and it's obviously difficult to do them all justice; especially when cool new features keep incoming in the development branch !

Last month I attended a conference on computational modeling in games in Banff. It was a great opportunity to jam on a research question that I’ve been working on with NYU colleagues Andy Nealen, Julian Togelius, and Aaron Isaksen. We were able to share our thinking and get input from a lot of super smart people, especially Alex Jaffe, of Spry Fox, who it turns out has been working independently on this same question for a while and had lots of very useful ideas to contribute.

I got an e-mail today from a developer who’s having trouble making any of their prototypes fun. I’m posting my reply here in case it’s of help to anyone else. This developer was writing because they liked Gunpoint, so that’s why all my examples are from that. I would suggest three things to bear in mind: 1. Don’t judge one prototype mechanic against a whole finished game.

The Godot Engine developer community is honored to announce that Godot has been selected as one of the recipients of the MOSS "Mission Partners" award. With the advent of new technologies such as Web Sockets, WebAssembly and WebGL 2.0, it is more critical than ever that free and open source tools are available to develop high performance games and applications for these platforms.

After the success of our previous game jam , which had been spontaneously organized by community members, we decided to start a new game jam for this month of June 2016. As the previous one, it is an informal jam with relatively loose rules, and not much to gain apart from international fame within the Godot community and more experience with using our great engine!
