After over one year of work, 5 alpha releases, 11 betas and 7000 commits by close to 500 contributors, we're finally ready to wrap up the 3.1 version and let you all benefit from the hundreds of new features, enhancements and bug fixes that have been worked on by the community since January 2018. We're therefore publishing this first release candidate, Godot 3.1 RC 1 , to let all of you test it thoroughly and check if any showstoppers remain.

Whoa! Has it been two years already since I stopped doing graphics programming?! How does one end up on a build team? I switched to the “build system” team by having two extremely short chats: …and then a lot more chats with graphics people and some others of course; but the above “hey could I join? yes!" was kinda the whole of my “job interview” to the team.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about the future of Kickstarter. Many of the game developers I work with have expressed hesitation about the platform that I didn’t see in 2015 or 2016. Anecdotally, the platform seems to be getting harder to succeed on. The great irony being that their whole claim to fame was that it would help creative small businesses get started.

As bugfixing is going at a steady pace towards Godot 3.1 stable, we plan to release beta builds frequently to have broad testing on the latest fixes and spot any regression. So we're now publishing Godot 3.1 beta 11 with over 110 commits made since beta 10 a few days ago. See the changes between 3.1 beta 10 and 3.1 beta 11. This beta is built from commit e930fb9.
