## 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 [Godot Foundation](https://godot.foundation/)

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.
