Instead of reusing the custom_template/ prefix which is actually only used for the prebuilt APK workflow, we add a new custom_build/ prefix. This is a slight compat breakage (users will have to redo their config) but enables us to group the Min SDK and Target SDK options where they make sense, and avoid reusing the previously hardcoded Target SDK 30 from Godot 3.4. Those two options are now strings instead of integers so that we can keep them empty by default, and show their default value using a placeholder. So some validation has been added to make sure they are proper ints. The upper bound on Target SDK was also removed as it's a common use case to use it to try to target newer released SDKs. But we warn the user that this wasn't validated by us. The export info dialog is now exclusive so that when it doesn't auto-close, i.e. when it errors, you don't close it by mistake by clicking outside. Fixes #62465.
Godot Engine
2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms (HTML5) and consoles.
Free, open source and community-driven
Godot is completely free and open source under the very permissive MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down to the last line of engine code. Godot's development is fully independent and community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their expectations. It is supported by the Software Freedom Conservancy not-for-profit.
Before being open sourced in February 2014, Godot had been developed by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur (both still maintaining the project) for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
Getting the engine
Binary downloads
Official binaries for the Godot editor and the export templates can be found on the homepage.
Compiling from source
See the official docs for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
Community and contributing
Godot is not only an engine but an ever-growing community of users and engine developers. The main community channels are listed on the homepage.
The best way to get in touch with the core engine developers is to join the Godot Contributors Chat.
To get started contributing to the project, see the contributing guide.
Documentation and demos
The official documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs. It is maintained by the Godot community in its own GitHub repository.
The class reference is also accessible from the Godot editor.
We also maintain official demos in their own GitHub repository as well as a list of awesome Godot community resources.
There are also a number of other learning resources provided by the community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc. Consult the community channels for more information.
