Godot's new high level networking preview is up!

Mircosoft Game Dev

High level please! Up to now, Godot networking was only limited to UDP, TCP and some high level protocols such as SSL and HTTP. However, for games themselves, the key is how to synchronize state between games. Having to do this manually with low level APIs can be an enormous pain, due to the inherent limitations of the protocols: TCP ensures packets will always arrive, but latency is generally high due to error correction.

Thank you to all our patrons for supporting the Fantasy Strike fighting game.

More programming languages in Godot, want to help?

Mircosoft Game Dev

Why more languages, isn't GDScript enough? There is a common misundertanding about us in the industry: Godot devs, always trying to reinvent the wheel because we like it. This could not be further away from the truth. The reality is that we are extremely demanding with our requirements from third party solutions and it just happens that very often, even if a library, language, etc. is very popular, it does not satisfy our needs.

Last call before take-off: Godot 2.1 RC2

Mircosoft Game Dev

Despite its funky hairstyle , we were pretty happy with the state of Godot 2.1 RC1 already. Still, contributors haven't stopped fixing bugs and adding some enhancements here and there while we were preparing our stable release announcement. So to take into account the most recent changes and make sure that the stable release is as good as it can be, here's a new release candidate that we believe will become Godot 2.1-stable within a week at most.
