Publisher's Description

Godot is an advanced, feature packed, multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine. It provides a huge set of common tools, so you can just focus on making your game without reinventing the wheel.

Features:

Use Your Eyes:

Work inside a simple, yet flexible and feature rich editor, with tools popping up to aid you when needed.

• Uncluttered UI, where most tools are context-sensitive.
• Huge amount of tools to aid you and your team in content creation.
• Editor designed not only for programmers, but for artists,animators, level designers, graphic designers, game designers, etc.
• Built-In documentation browser and code editor to avoid distractions.

Multi-Platform Deploy

Develop games for your favorite platforms:

• Mobile Platforms: iOS, Android
• Desktop Platforms: Windows, OSX, Linux
• Web Platforms: PNaCL
• Consoles: Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita (only with license from Sony)
• Upcoming (not stable yet): HTML5 and Windows Phone.
• One Click Deploy & Export to most platforms. Easy to create custom builds too.

Develop 2D Games:

Create complex 2D games with the fully dedicated 2D engine.

• Dedicated 2D engine, no need to fake 2D in 3D space.
• Work in pixel coordinates, but resize to any screen resolution.
• Support for sprites, animated sprites, polygons, parallax, layers, advanced particle system, etc.
• Custom physics & collision engine that works in pixel coordinates.
• Powerful animation editing capabilities, including cut-out, bone rigs, etc.

Develop 3D Games:

Create realistic looking 3D games with the dedicated 3D Engine.

• Import 3D models from Max, Maya, Blender, etc. with full animation.
• Supports skeleton deforms and blend shapes.
• Several light types, with shadow mapping.
• Flexible shader & material models.
• Render with HDR, anti aliasing and linear color modes.
• Post process fog, glow, bloom, color adjustment, etc.

Design User Interfaces

Create simple or complex user interfaces, adapted to your needs.

• Powerful GUI library, dozens of controls are available as engine nodes.
• Entirely visual GUI editor, design first and then fill the bits of code.
• Create beautiful game UIs with simple, skinnable controls.
• Create tools and game content editors using advanced controls.
• Skinnable OS-like controls, for sim games, RPGs, MMOs, etc.
• Customize your own controls, by implementing input and draw functions.

Script & Hack

Add custom behaviors to any object by extending it with scripting.

• Python-based scripting language, designed to make games.
• Efficient design for memory allocation (no GC stalls or leaks).
• Built-In script editor with syntax highlighting, real-time parser & code completion.
• Integrated debugger.
• Integrated class reference browser.
• Friendly C++ API to optimize parts of the game or  extend any part of the engine.

Innovative Design

Godot has a unique and modern architecture. When you get used to it, everything else feels obsolete.

• Design language based on nested scenes.
• Allows organizing small and large projects efficiently.
• Any part of a game that can be named can become a scene.
• Subdivide scenes to improve teamwork.
• Re-use scenes as part of other scenes.

Animate Everything

The animation system in Godot is one of the most advanced in existence.

• Animate 2D or 3D.
• Any property of any object can be animated, even function calls.
• Use custom transition curves and tweens.
• Helpers to animate 2D rigs, with skeletons and IK.
• Efficient optimizer to pack imported 3D animations.
• Animation Tree support for fluid character animation.

Simulate

Godot has a custom physics engine designed for games.

• Dedicated 2D and 3D physics engines, which use the same API.
• Several types of collider shapes supported.
• Flexible KinematicBody implementation, for 2D and 3D.
• KinematicBody allows to use collision detection in a flexible way, without physics.
• Advanced DynamicCharacter for characters that need full, transparent physics integration.
• Several types of constraints available, including Vehicle Simulation.

Debug

Fix and optimize your game with the built-in debugger.

• Source level debugger, with breakpoints, inspector, backtraces, etc.
• Stepper with real-time inspection of variables.
• Performance analyzer, with dozen of metrics available.
• Ability to debug scripts of games running on external devices.
• Remote filesystem support, for quick testing of large games on devices.
• Alternative command-line debugger, for unix hardcores.

Collaborate

Work alone or work in a team:

• Godot is designed from the ground as a teamwork tool.
• Filesystem usage is friendly to popular VCSs (such as Git, Subversion, Mercurial, PlasticSCM, Perforce, etc).
• Script syntax supported by GitHub.
