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 in one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, Mac OSX, Windows) as well as mobile (Android, iOS) and web-based (HTML5) platforms.
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.
Official binaries for the Godot editor and the export templates can be found on the homepage.
See the official docs for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
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.
To get in touch with the developers, the best way is to join the #godotengine IRC channel on Freenode.
To get started contributing to the project, see the contributing guide.
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 within the engine.
The official demos are maintained in their own GitHub repository as well.
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 info.
This specific fork has the ability to export for the Nintendo Wii. Support for this is minimal right now. The code changes are mirrored from TGRCDev/godot_wii. Any exported game is meant to work with Homebrew Channel. However, you can also boot the executable from Dolphin Emulator.
- Embedded pck
- Mono (C#)
- Different GX texture formats (only GX RGBA8 is supported for now)
PoolByteArrayGDScript class (it is not 32byte aligned yet)- No Nintendo Wii specific API for GDScript (yet)
- Potentially more things which haven't been tested yet
export DEVKITPRO=DEVKITPROPATH- pass
dkp_path=DEVKITPROPATHto SCONS when building. DEVKITPROPATHshould be where devkitPro was installed to, for example:"/opt/devkitpro".
For instructions on installing devkitPro see Getting Started - devkitPro and devkitPro pacman - devkitPro. The packages required are devkitPPC, gamecube-tools, libogc, libfat-ogc, ppc-freetype, ppc-libpng, and ppc-zlib. If you meet the dependency requirements for the wii platform, scons platform=list will show wii in the list.
Here is the command I use scons platform=wii tools=no target=release bits=32 use_mingw=yes dkp_path=/opt/devkitpro -j6 for both target=release and target=debug.
These instructions were written in assumption that you are using MSYS2.
