Detailed Introduction
Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine for creating 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. Under the permissive MIT license, it provides comprehensive tools and one-click export to desktop (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile (Android, iOS), web and consoles. Its unique scene-node system makes game development intuitive, while the built-in scripting language (GDScript) is easy to learn. Compared to Unity, Godot is fully free without royalties or engine upgrades; compared to Unreal, it's much lighter and faster to start. The engine is developed openly and supported by the Godot Foundation. Note: Godot does not include advanced built-in multiplayer networking or AAA-level visual fidelity without add-ons; for complex physics simulation, additional tuning may be needed.
