Good news! Even if you couldn’t make it to #GodotFest this year, all the recorded talks are now gradually being uploaded to our YouTube channel.
If you’d like to support the speakers (and us!) in reaching a wider audience, a like and sub would be awesome!

Life is moderately Strange
It probably Takes Two
I may or may not be be Bread

This is literally what people do when they're not left scrambling for survival every hour of every day. They build communities, create things, contribute. Wikipedia isn't an anomaly, it is a distillation of human nature itself
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

Maybe worth clarifying how #GodotEngine release cycles work for those not familiar.
4.5 dev 1 doesn't mean that we're already done with 4.5 features and wrapping up - in fact we're just getting started, and will merge a lot more new features in the next snapshots, until feature freeze and 4.5 beta.

Our first development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.5 has arrived!
The coming of Spring (in the Northern hemisphere) has thawed the thick cover of feature freeze which held many feature PRs in stasis.
With a first harvest of ca. 400 PRs, it's time to start testing!
