In the past, the Godot editor distributed the API assemblies and copied them to project directories for projects to reference them. This changed with the move to .NET 5/6. Godot no longer copies the assemblies to project directories. However, the project Sdk still tried to reference them from the same location. From now on, the GodotSharp API is distributed as a NuGet package, which the Sdk can reference. Added an option to `build_assemblies.py` to copy all Godot NuGet packages to an existing local NuGet source. This will be needed during development, while packages are not published to a remote NuGet repository. This option also makes sure to remove packages of the same version installed (~/.nuget/packages). Very useful during development, when packages change, to make sure the package being used by a project is the same we just built and not one from a previous build. A local NuGet source can be created like this: ``` mkdir ~/MyLocalNuGetSource && \ dotnet nuget add source ~/MyLocalNuGetSource/ -n MyLocalNuGetSource ```
Godot Engine
2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms (HTML5) and consoles.
Free, open source and community-driven
Godot is completely free and open source under the very permissive MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down to the last line of engine code. Godot's development is fully independent and community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their expectations. It is supported by the Software Freedom Conservancy not-for-profit.
Before being open sourced in February 2014, Godot had been developed by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur (both still maintaining the project) for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
Getting the engine
Binary downloads
Official binaries for the Godot editor and the export templates can be found on the homepage.
Compiling from source
See the official docs for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
Community and contributing
Godot is not only an engine but an ever-growing community of users and engine developers. The main community channels are listed on the homepage.
The best way to get in touch with the core engine developers is to join the Godot Contributors Chat.
To get started contributing to the project, see the contributing guide.
Documentation and demos
The official documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs. It is maintained by the Godot community in its own GitHub repository.
The class reference is also accessible from the Godot editor.
We also maintain official demos in their own GitHub repository as well as a list of awesome Godot community resources.
There are also a number of other learning resources provided by the community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc. Consult the community channels for more information.
