A malware loader, “GodLoader,” has been found exploiting the Godot runtime. This highlights the importance of only downloading software from trusted sources.

Full details: https://godotengine.org/article/statement-on-godloader-malware-loader/

⚠️ Important: Starting with dev 5, all resource types will generate .uid files, making references path-agnostic. These files are editor-only but should be added to version control for proper data sync.

We’d love your feedback on this change!

This turn-based strategy game once started as a #GGJ submission, and ended up with a sequel. Isometric perspective and hand-crafted pixelart help this game look timeless 🪖🎨

Includes a level-editor, so tag us in your creations!

Multiple endings are being offered by this humorous text-based game, but what makes our pick extra special is that no one other than @coaguco made it, the maintainer of the #GodotSteam module!

It's free, so tell us what ending you get 💊👴
