This release should address bugs in the Android editor, XR editor and Android release templates resolved thanks to our new support for native debug symbols, so give it a try!

Release candidate: Godot 4.5.1 RC 1 – Godot Engine

Regression fixes coming in hot!

The blue theme will still be available as an option, so folks can switch back to that if they prefer and Godot is pretty good at keeping users preferences across updates, so it would be a one time switch.

Looking forward to giving a fresh coat of paint to the Android and XR editor!

Our first development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.6 has arrived!

As the feature freeze thaws away, so begins a small trickle of QOL and enhancements; a mere sample of the incoming torrent of changes 4.6 is sure to see

…200 PRs is small, right?

I checked what engines were used for the highest rated games in the latest #BrackeysGameJam...

🥁🥁🥁

Top 5: 100% Godot
Top 20: 16 Godot, 4 Unity (80% Godot)

🤯

The engine doesn't make a good game, so all the merit goes to the jammers, but it's still nice to see this sign of Godot adoption!

The Top 5 all used Godot, while 16 out of the top 10 used Godot (4 used Unity).

Today we are launching Xogot for iPhone, along with a free edition.

The iPhone has been a challenging process for shrinking the UI even further.

Check the details on @josephhill.bsky.social blog post:

Make Games Anywhere: Introducing Godot for iPhone and Xogot Lite

Since the beginning of time, or at least since the launch of Xogot for iPad, developers have asked: “But can you put Godot on the iPhone?”

Update on my SVG editor app, VectorTouch.

If you saw my earlier post, you might be thinking "Wait VectorTouch? Wasn’t it GodSVG Mobile?"
Yes. It’s the same app, now with a new name, a new icon, plenty of UI/UX improvements.

Here’s the new logo, designed in VectorTouch itself.
