    Why Choose the Godot Engine?

    The Godot Engine is a cross-platform open-source video game engine, released under the MIT license. This means that users who create their games with Godot, own their games outright; no strings attached, no royalty fees. This makes Godot the ideal video game engine for hobbyists, tinkerers, and indie-dev companies. Other "free" game engines like Unity or Unreal require you to pay if your game becomes successful. With Godot, your game is your game.

    The Godot Engine is still very young, at least compared to the more popular game engines out there. But development of it is very active; the developers of Godot release multiple polished updates every year. We expect the Godot Engine to grow rapidly in the years to come and we're excited to see what games you will make with it.

    If you haven't already, download the Godot Engine and let's make some games.
