If there’s one piece of business advice I’d like to shout to the heavens, it would be “know your audience!” There are three parts to this: knowing your target audience, knowing your actual audience, and being able to tell where the two are different.

After several months of waiting ( obligatory joke ) and more importantly of development, the web frontend to Godot's Asset Library finally reached the beta status ! What does it mean?

Showing your game to strangers for the first time can be a little nerve wracking.

It was scary, thrilling, amazing and… we won the Dev-Play Indie Pitch!

Game development is a notoriously iterative process. Your final game will bear little resemblance to your first draft. The best way to make a good game is to play-test it to death, hammering out all the inconsistencies and problems. This is incredibly time-consuming and disheartening. Don’t let it bother you.

Introduction. As many of you have probably heard, a new rendering backend is being worked on for Godot. One of the most common comments from potential users evaluating Godot is that, for 2D, Godot is awesome but for 3D it's pretty far from the mainstream alternatives. For Godot 3.0 (our upcoming release) we are working hard to change this.
