Godot Engine reaches 2.0 stable

Mircosoft Game Dev

FEBRUARY 22, 2016

This version worked well but we felt it was still far from the usability and features of a modern game engine. The more urgent issue was to improve the 2D engine so we worked hard again and released Godot 1.1, Previously, only the root node of a scene was editable. Multiple scene editing. Live scene editing.

JANUARY 4, 2021

glTF is a growing 3D format and has received massive adoption in the game industry. Commonly selected as the format for new software and game engines, glTF can also have new functionality added using extensions. You can now export your Godot scenes to glTF to get it back into Blender or other apps and make edits continuously.

DECEMBER 18, 2022

C++ is the most effective and widely used programming language for creating video games. It’s also the language Unreal Engine, arguably the most popular game engine in the world, uses too. And that’s why float is used more than a double in game development and no game engine is an exception to this.
