From time to time, I see board game creators on social media who have been working on the same design day-in, day-out for years on end. Of them, they seem to fall into two basic camps. The first are people making a board game as a labor of love, who know they’re taking their sweet time on it, and they’re OK with it. And the second camp? They don’t like what they’re doing, and they just won’t quit.

Edit: We have seen many comments on our April Fool's joke. We strive to make the Godot community, and game development in general, a welcoming place for everyone. By not understanding the various ways in which our joke could be interpreted we have failed in this goal. The Godette character was made years ago. It was not created for this joke. The joke itself was intended to poke fun at a very vocal minority of users who think that our robot logo isn't "professional", thus the joke was

One of the weaknesses of the game industry is that we are fairly slow to adopt new processes. A great framework that has come out in the last few years is GIST. It allows teams to eliminate the use of road-maps and stay Agile in their planning as well as their implementation. The post GIST for Games (Development): Is GIST the Right Tool for Your Project Planning?

We are happy to announce that another Godot Conference (GodotCon) is coming! At the beginning of this year we held a Godot Conference completely online for the first time. We have been thrilled to see many interesting talks held by a group of competent and talented speakers and we've been very happy with the positive reception of the event. You can watch all those talks in replay on YouTube.

In case you missed the recent news, we decided to change our versioning for Godot 3.x and rename the upcoming version 3.2.4 to Godot 3.3 , thereby starting a new stable branch. Check the dedicated blog post for details. This 7th Release Candidate fixes a number of regressions which had been introduced since 3.2.3. Nearly all critical regressions have now been fixed, so we should be able to release Godot 3.3 stable in the near future.

If you are following me on Twitter (where I post my progress on different Godot features I work on), you might have noticed that I took a two month break from rendering to work on many long standing editor improvements and features. While I am far from being the only contributor working on editor-related tasks, I put together a list of everything I have been working for the past two months!
