Ugh, YouTube demonitised my game jam stream because one jam entry had a few seconds of copyrighted music in there, surely this should fall under fair use???

Finished playing through all the Godot XR gamejam entries. So impressed by the quality this time around. Not going to declare my favourite until after the voting has finished. Thanks everyone who joined, it’s so cool to see the effort everyone put in!

I've had this question from a few people, so time to give a quick set of instructions. If you want to run the Godot editor on Steam Frame, installing it from the Steam UI causes some issues. But there is a better way to run the Godot editor anyway and that is from the Desktop.

I don’t have time right now to give my full thoughts on Steam Frame, it has it’s pros and cons. But I will say this. Since being provided one by Valve, it’s become my workhorse whenever i’m doing VR work or want to play games.

Normally it sadness me when a famous person passes away and I remember their movies, or songs, like everyone else. So hearing about Dolly Parton, or Tim Currys passing, I paused a moment thinking back at the wondering things they gave us.

Interesting result from the GODOT community Poll. Compared to 2025 we have over 10% growth on both Desktop and Standalone VR, but a 20% drop in AR. (total responses went from 1026 to 1170, a 14% increase)

I haven’t tried this out myself but cool to see plugins like this appearing. Compositor effects were always meant to be a low level pro feature that requires a layer ontop to make it more accessible for specific use cases.

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.
Godot's current policy on AI-assisted contributions reads like this:

"The use of AI to contribute to Godot is discouraged, and contributions made entirely by AI are prohibited.

We acknowledge that AI can be useful, but we are convinced that human effort results in better and more relevant contributions.

If you do use AI, we expect that you put in effort to proofread and improve anything it generates, and that you disclose what you used AI for. As maintainers spend significant time reviewing your code, please make sure that the code you submit is well-tested and functional. Please be respectful of their time and only submit something you have put thought and effort into."

Just a heads up to XR Tools users. There is a tiny issue related to Godot 4.7, a years old method no longer passes stricter method controls and stops some things from working.
