Last Wednesday saw the release of our first Release Candidate build of Godot 4.6. As a reminder, we release RC builds once we think the engine has stabilized and is ready for release. It is your last chance to report critical regressions before we release the stable version.
As the Northern Hemisphere’s days get shorter and colder, we get closer to our much anticipated feature freeze. Dev 5 is jam-packed with new features and enhancements as contributors try to finish off their big contributions before we hit the feature freeze and Beta 1 shortly after. As a reminder, feature freeze is the period where we stop merging anything except for bug fixes as we shift our focus to polishing the existing code in preparation for release. We plan on entering our feature freeze on December 3 and only releasing one more dev snapshot before entering the Beta phase.
Godot now supports Vulkan foveated rendering on Android, Application SpaceWarp, DirectX 12, and OpenXR render models, and can build a universal OpenXR APK.
A simple GDExtension Terrain heightmap editor. This used to be only C# addon but now works with all languages. I tried this when it was C# addon and it was amazing tool and great to see it available for gdscript as well.
Like how Half-life 2 (etc.?) used a font for weapon icons. I’m guessing TF2 and CSGO (smart way to easily use it wherever supports text). Though it’s difficult finding info on this without info about basic text instead.
Godot Fest in Munich just ended, and it was a blast. There were numerous great talks, and you can already see most of them on the media site of the Chaos Computer Club, as they were providing the recording infrastructure and team.
In short, I want to begin a hobby project on making a collection of offline games to pass the time with no nagging advertisements or micro transactions.
With our first dev snapshot out of the way, the 4.6 development cycle is no longer constraining itself to the territory of bugfixes. Many long-awaited features and enhancements are seeing the light of day at long last, as this behemoth of a snapshot boasts over 300 improvements in all! This blog post will aim to highlight the heavy-hitters to the best of its ability, but the sheer number of changes may warrant users to check the interactive changelog for a more thorough dive. With new features comes the potential of new bugs, so early testing and reporting will be essential to catching regressions as quickly as possible.
I have been working on this as a side project for a number of years. It is still very basic and rough, but slightly more than a tech demo. I spent the majority of the summer creating 9 tracks, trying to showcase and put to use some of the environment tools I’ve created for myself over the years. If you are into racing games you might enjoy a few laps. I’d love any feedback.
My friend released a cozy card game as their studio’s first game. Highly recommend to anyone who likes card game like Slay the Spire. This game was made with Godot!
After much hard work I am finally ready to show the world my demo! I hope you enjoy it! Follow me on Bluesky for more updates, and chances to win free copies of the full game on release!
I’m making a game where there are many Area2Ds of different countries, but I want to know the size of each country to calculate their surrender limit (bigger countries take longer to surrender, for example).
My new book is out! 618 pages of tutorials, code, images, and insights about game development in Godot 4. During the first week, the discount code 20INTRO is active.

I am making a game similar to something like HOI4 with the differentiating factor being that it is situated during the Cold War, with power dynamics of both the Americans and Soviets vying for dominance while the non-aligned movement tries to balance on the fence between the two superpowers.
