There's no stopping the #Godot4 beta train! 🚂4.0 beta 16 fixes a bunch of regressions in the previous snapshot, and wraps up a lot of the work contributors wanted to finalize before RC. #GodotEnginehttps://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-0-beta-16/

We had 17 alphas, 17 betas -- rumor has it we'll get to #Godot4 RC 17... I don't believe so, but we sure can have a third #GodotEngine build in a week with 4.0 RC 5!There was a GDScript regression in yesterday's RC 4, now fixed, so no reason to wait.https://godotengine.org/article/release-candidate-godot-4-0-rc-5/

Last chance to test #GodotEngine 4.1 before the stable release, with this 2nd Release Candidate.Fixes some important regressions, so we'd like to get as much test coverage as possible on both Godot 4.0 and 4.1 projects.https://godotengine.org/article/release-candidate-godot-4-1-rc-2/

I like shaving off 20% binary size and 50% MSVC build time from my Godot binaries on a Monday morning.https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/80612

So, big news yesterday. I'm appalled at the impact this will have on the #Unity ecosystem, and #gamedev at large. There's just no way this can lead to anything good for anyone.#GodotEngine is getting a lot of positive attention in reaction, so I want to address a few things. 🧵

Many Unity devs rightfully feel threatened by this change, and want to abandon ship after a series of bad leadership decisions.Lots of people say they'll switch to Godot, or are considering it. I strongly believe that foundational tech should be #FOSS, so I welcome this, but...

I also strongly believe that such decisions shouldn't be rushed, and taken out of spite and anger.Unity's install fee will likely be withdrawn given the backlash, but the writing's on the wall and the trust is broken. Use the time you have available to consider options fairly.

I love that you're eyeing Godot, but take your time to weigh the pros and cons.It's a great engine, but no software is perfect and we don't want you to come to it in panic, and end up frustrated that it might not be the drop-in replacement for what you had to leave behind.

More than anything, we want people to have access to technology that empowers them to create the games they want to make, and have a good experience doing so.Godot is one such option, but there are many others, both FOSS and proprietary. Try out a few before settling again!

If you need insights into where Godot is at currently, and where it's headed, I'm happy to discuss it. You can ask questions in this thread, or DM me or @Emi.If you're going to consider Godot for your games, we want you to do it in the right conditions so you can thrive.

Really happy with how #GodotEngine 4.2 is shaping up!I'm impressed by the work all the contributors did in a mere 3 months since the 4.1 release. Thank you all! 💜The shorter release cycles are really paying off. It's more fun and engaging for everyone :)

New beta build for #GodotEngine 4.2!We've now fixed almost all showstopper bugs that would prevent the release, but some of those fixes were fairly complex.We need *a lot* of user testing on this build to make sure we're not introducing new issues. 🙏https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-2-beta-6/

Looking at the replies on https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@godotengine/113177931856961903... What's up with the FUD spreading on Mastodon?The Godot editor is available as direct download, and packaged on Steam, EGS, Google Play, and now Horizon Store as a VR enabled app.All open source and free, with no strings attached, but folks on Masto talk as if Godot sold its soul to the devil.Mastodon is a platform that claimed to be designed to reduce toxic aspects of social media, but in my experience it's the most antagonistic I'm on.
