Emilio Coppola pulls back the curtain on how an open‑source project as ambitious as Godot Engine keeps its momentum. You’ll learn how just thirteen full‑time contributors coordinate with hundreds of volunteers around the world, driving features from proposal to merge through public roadmaps and transparent governance. See why every release—whether alpha snapshot, beta build, or release candidate—undergoes rigorous testing, and how spikes in community donations ensure sustainable progress without paywalls. If you’ve ever wondered how such a lean team can maintain stability, backward‑compatibility, and rapid feature turnover, this session is for you.

Clay John and Nicola Farronato explain what makes Godot unique: its MIT license, multiple scripting options, and zero‑royalty model; and why developers love its lightweight editor and thriving plugin ecosystem. You’ll peek at the latest adoption figures showing explosive growth across mobile, desktop, web, consoles, and XR, and hear inspiring stories of studios that have unified pipelines, slashed release cycles, and shipped high caliber titles, all from a single codebase. This talk doesn’t just showcase data; it reveals the strategies that forward‑thinking teams use to maximize Godot’s potential.
