Dev Diary posts are made to teach game development through specific examples from my latest project: Highways & Byways. Just here for Highway s & Byways updates? Click here. Highways & Byways is basically complete. I’ve started the final 100 play-tests. This is a process I follow to ensure a game’s quality.

Since our Godot 3.0 beta 1 release last week, there have been more than 70 bugs fixed and over 100 bug reports created!

We gathered with Julian and Gilles at the Capitole du Libre 2017 in Toulouse. It's one of the largest French events dedicated to Free Software. We went there to showcase Godot 3 and try to introduce new users to it. Here's our event report. Passing the word to Gilles Roudière himself. Gilles' perspective. Julian ( StraToN ) and I (Gilles a.k.a. Groud ) spent most of our time at the Godot stand.

Godot keeps growing steadily in both users and contributors, and 3.0 will be our best release yet. As our community keeps expanding, the development process also reshapes to accommodate new contributions. While our process is completely transparent, it is not obvious for a large part of the community how new features, fixes and improvements are added.
