Board games have been wildly successful in the last ten years. Much of this can be attributed to people’s need to socialize in person. That’s why many are surprised to hear that solo board games not only exist but are very common. Good thing, too. In 2019, no one could have predicted that we all have to isolate ourselves in our homes to hide front a yet-undiscovered virus.

When talking to teams that are early in the development process, they often tell us they want to make either a vertical slice or an MVP (minimum viable product) of their game. We find these two terms get used interchangeably when in fact, they are very different. To clear up any confusion, let’s take a look at what the two terms mean, and better yet, how to use the concepts behind them to make a great game.

Godot 3.3 ? Weren't we working on a version 3.2.4? If 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. But aside from the name change, it's still the same release. Our last testing build was 3.2.4 RC 5 and so this new Release Candidate is named 3.3 RC 6.

As you may know, the current development focus for Godot contributors (in our master Git branch ) is on Godot 4.0, our upcoming, major release which reworks a lot of the engine's internals, modernizes the rendering backend, and more! There's still some way to go before Godot 4.0 is ready to release, and in the meantime we're doing our best to support the Godot 3.x users who are developing and releasing games with the stable version.

Godot 3.2.4 is going to be incredibly feature-packed, and we're taking the time necessary to ensure that it will also be stable. We had a fourth Release Candidate a few days ago which got good testing and helped surface various bugs, many of which have been fixed. So we're now making a RC 5 build to keep iterating fast and make sure that the bug fixes work as expected.
