Godot Engine

A feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games.

macoswinlinux

A versatile, open-source game engine that offers a comprehensive set of tools for 2D and 3D development. It features a unique node-based architecture and allows you to own your game completely with no royalties.

What we love ❤️

  • Completely free and open-source (MIT License) with zero royalties.
  • Dedicated 2D engine with real pixel coordinates alongside powerful 3D capabilities.
  • Innovative node and scene system for modular game design.
  • Supports GDScript, C#, and C++ via GDExtension.
  • Extremely lightweight download (under 100MB) requiring no installation.

Worth noting 💡

  • Console support (Switch, PS5, Xbox) requires third-party publishers due to NDA restrictions.
  • C# support varies slightly between versions and platforms.

Godot stands out as the premier open-source alternative to proprietary game engines. Its lightweight footprint, robust feature set, and complete lack of licensing fees make it an essential tool for indie developers and professionals alike who value total control over their projects.
