More time making games, less time waiting for engine fixes.

While commercial engines may need to push out new features to attract more customers, Godot is backed by community donations and is committed to keep the engine bloat-free and focused on the needs of its users. 


For enterprise users who need specific fixes or customizations, Godot being open source means you can choose from several providers, resulting in more competition, better prices and low risk of vendor lock-in.

Code your games with the tightly integrated GDScript or the industry standard C#.

Godot officially supports GDScript, a python-inspired scripting language that you could learn in as little as a week, as well as C#, making the transition from other engines easier and allowing you to use existing libraries and tools. 

Other languages such as Rust, Javascript, Swift and more are supported via third-party GDExtensions.


Godot has dedicated 2D and 3D renderers


Working on a 2D game?

Godot will provide you with a 2D renderer and specialized data structures which make your work much easier. Making pixel perfect games is as simple as ticking a few checkboxes. Tilemaps are supported out of the box.

Working on​ a 3D game?

Godot provides multiple backends from Vulkan and D3D12 to OpenGL for maximum compatibility with new and old hardware, desktop and mobile. Console-specific backends are also supported via W4 Consoles.

 Its 3D asset import process is fully scriptable, allowing you to easily automate and customize the process as much as you like. 

3D and 2D

The 3D and 2D nodes and API stay as close to each other as possible, meaning your staff can transition between game types faster, with lower training costs.
