But Tesla, too, has apparently used Godot to power some of the more graphically intensive animations in its mobile app.Īmong Godot’s founding creators is Juan Linietsky, who has served as head of development for the Godot project for the past 13 years, and who will now serve as CEO of W4 Games, a new venture that’s setting out to take Godot to the next level. Godot has been used in high-profile games such as the Sonic Colors: Ultimate remaster, published by Sega last year as the first major mainstream game powered by Godot.
Today, Godot claims some 1,500 contributors, and is considered one of the world’s top open source projects by various metrics. Godot, for the uninitiated, is a cross-platform game engine first released under an open source license back in 2014, though its initial development pre-dates that by several years. A new company from the creators of the Godot game engine is setting out to grab a piece of the $200 billion global video game market - and to do so, it’s taking a cue from commercial open source software giant Red Hat.
