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 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 Godot Foundation
not-for-profit.
Before being open sourced in February 2014,
Godot had been developed by Juan Linietsky and
Ariel Manzur for several years as an in-house
engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
