Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platformgame engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides acomprehensive set ofcommon tools, so thatusers can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games canbe exported with one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktopplatforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well asWeb-based platforms andconsoles.

Godot is completely free and open source under the very permissiveMIT license.No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, downto the last line of engine code. Godot's development is fully independent andcommunity-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match theirexpectations. It is supported by theGodot Foundationnot-for-profit.

Before being open sourced inFebruary 2014,Godot had been developed byJuan Linietsky andAriel Manzur (both still maintaining the project)for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hiretitles.
