In case its not abundantly clear:

Also, in order to make the engine more commercially appealing, we are evaluating other changes, such as moving the engine to a premium shared revenue model, increasing the download size to a few gigabytes, and making any kind of help or support paid. A bright future is coming for our shareholdcommunity. We hope to be able to tell you more very soon (probably on April 2, since it's now April 1).


They really got me before reading this comment


It took them long enough, Godot had always bad connotations of having to wait for it.


> How are we supposed to work on something no one knows how to pronounce?

Hasn't stopped decades of work on LaTeX :)


April Fool’s is here again, I see.


That's a very cute April fool joke :)


The new logo & mascot is refreshing. I am sure many pople would find joy in that change.


I was skeptical, but then I saw the new logo and immediately fell in love.

Long live Godot waifu


About time they came up with an open source alternative to https://unity-chan.com/


Love the new logo.


The new logo is cute, I'd actually be alright with such a rebranding.
