Game development can be weird sometimes.

No desktop? No problem.
You can now build and publish #GodotEngine games entirely from your Android or XR device!
We've published #GodotEngine 's first written vision statement, formalizing a decade of shared experience building, releasing, and maintaining it.
This is intended to guide the Godot Foundation as we make decisions about where to allocate our resources. Read more: https://godotengine.org/article/godot-vision-statement-2026/
For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors.
AI has made the problem much worse.
That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors:

We have a new demo out!
It's Burn-9!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4377480/Burn9/
A tacticool political thriller with elements of visual novels, turn based choice games, and adventure games. It's often described as a 'Reverse Metal Gear' because you play as the tech in the chair supporting a soldier fighting for her life in a secret Antarctic military base.
The demo is short, but should give a good idea of the game we're building. Wishlist it. Tell everyone about it!
Would you like to play a demo of my new game? Sure you would!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4377480/Burn9/
It's called "Burn-9," a turn-based tactical visual novel. You're the operator directing a super soldier fighting for her life in a secret Antarctic military base.
The demo is short but our game director and author, my nephew, has a very long story to tell once we're all done.
Let me know what you think! And if you find a bug, please let me know because I'm the QA lead. 😊
Marvel at the cool concept art from my cool concept artist! (For Burn-9 my cool game)

Has it already been a whole month since the last 4.7 maintenance release? How time flies… 🕰️
Well, no time to dwell on the past; let's instead dwell on the past with yet another maintenance release: #GodotEngine 4.7.2!
https://godotengine.org/article/maintenance-release-godot-4-7-2/
Thanks to your help, we've been able to identify and address even more critical regressions that nearly slipped under the radar 🎯
Let's round those up as part of our latest snapshot: #GodotEngine 4.7 RC 3

Godot Recipes is my favorite side-project. Despite me making a commercial, closed-source game, it enables me to give to the FOSS community. It's not much, but I'm proud of it. :)

New 2dog release v4.7.1.55 !
(ok there have been 20 small releases or so since)
The 2dog tool (dotnet tool execute 2dog) has been made interactive and much more flexible. The documentation should be more well-rounded now and also focused in its didactic structure. There's also an expanded API doc now. Breaking - test fixtures were moved to other namespaces.
Compatible with latest official #GodotEngine 4.7.1 :)
Godot 3.6.2 has been our recommended stable LTS version of 3.x for a while now. However, due to changes in Android and iOS, the time has come for a new build. 📱
#GodotEngine 3.6.3 has arrived, being a safe and recommended upgrade for all 3.6.x users!
https://godotengine.org/article/maintenance-release-godot-3-6-3/
#Godot has been around for 12 years now, but I think I've only become really aware of it and learned about specific games made in it relatively recently.
I've been wondering, which were the first "full size" commercial Godot games that got mainstream attention by people not involved in or following indie game development, and when was that?
We are thrilled to welcome Chasing Carrots as a Bronze Sponsor of GodotFest 2026!
The creators of the acclaimed Halls of Torment are joining us in Munich. 🥕⚔️
Thank you for supporting the Godot community!
