## 2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
|
|
|
|
**[Godot Engine](https://godotengine.org) 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](https://godotengine.org/features), 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](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/platform/consoles.html).
|
|
|
|
## Free, open source and community-driven
|
|
|
|
Godot is completely free and open source under the very permissive [MIT license](https://godotengine.org/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](https://sfconservancy.org/)
|
|
not-for-profit.
|
|
|
|
Before being open sourced in [February 2014](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/0b806ee0fc9097fa7bda7ac0109191c9c5e0a1ac),
|
|
Godot had been developed by [Juan Linietsky](https://github.com/reduz) and
|
|
[Ariel Manzur](https://github.com/punto-) (both still maintaining the project) for several
|
|
years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting the engine

|
|
|
|
## 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](https://godotengine.org/community).
|
|
|
|
The best way to get in touch with the core engine developers is to join the
|
|
[Godot Contributors Chat](https://chat.godotengine.org).

|
|
The [class reference](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/)
|
|
