Implements https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3371. New `target` presets ==================== The `tools` option is removed and `target` changes to use three new presets, which match the builds users are familiar with. These targets control the default optimization level and enable editor-specific and debugging code: - `editor`: Replaces `tools=yes target=release_debug`. * Defines: `TOOLS_ENABLED`, `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2` - `template_debug`: Replaces `tools=no target=release_debug`. * Defines: `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2` - `template_release`: Replaces `tools=no target=release`. * Defines: `-O3`/`/O2` New `dev_build` option ====================== The previous `target=debug` is now replaced by a separate `dev_build=yes` option, which can be used in combination with either of the three targets, and changes the following: - `dev_build`: Defines `DEV_ENABLED`, disables optimization (`-O0`/`/0d`), enables generating debug symbols, does not define `NDEBUG` so `assert()` works in thirdparty libraries, adds a `.dev` suffix to the binary name. Note: Unlike previously, `dev_build` defaults to off so that users who compile Godot from source get an optimized and small build by default. Engine contributors should now set `dev_build=yes` in their build scripts or IDE configuration manually. Changed binary names ==================== The name of generated binaries and object files are changed too, to follow this format: `godot.<platform>.<target>[.dev][.double].<arch>[.<extra_suffix>][.<ext>]` For example: - `godot.linuxbsd.editor.dev.arm64` - `godot.windows.template_release.double.x86_64.mono.exe` Be sure to update your links/scripts/IDE config accordingly. More flexible `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options ==================================================== The optimization level and whether to generate debug symbols can be further specified with the `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options. So the default values listed above for the various `target` and `dev_build` combinations are indicative and can be replaced when compiling, e.g.: `scons p=linuxbsd target=template_debug dev_build=yes optimize=debug` will make a "debug" export template with dev-only code enabled, `-Og` optimization level for GCC/Clang, and debug symbols. Perfect for debugging complex crashes at runtime in an exported project. |

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 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.
