This Unity to Godot importer has me a little excited

You are free to use Godot Engine, for any purpose
You can study how Godot Engine works and change it
You can distribute unmodified and changed versions of Godot Engine, even commercially and under a different license (including proprietary)

The only restriction to that third freedom is that you need to distribute the copyright notice and license statement of Godot Engine whenever you redistribute it. So your derivative product may have a different license, but should still state in its documentation that it derives from the MIT licensed Godot Engine (see below).
Quoting: FSFmemberSo IANAL but I think they broke the license according to what you said (i'm not familiar with the original story at all)
IANAL but can follow plain text.
o.O wow now i'm a bit surprised i guess read it licence a LOOONG time ago, so i couldnt remember that part

Quoting: FSFmemberHmm so again they violated the license, sad but *the norm* for corporations - and it's going to continue as FOSS has no legal chance to enforce itself because reasons .
nope, that dont violate godot licence at all!
its MIT not GPL!
its just a shame they didnt give credit to it, it would be a massive boost for its popularity

HDR and Colour Management for AMD / Steam Deck and KDE Plasma coming along

As a reminder, the Steam Deck work will be for external screen handling, since the Steam Deck itself does not have a HDR screen. Although, perhaps with a Steam Deck 2…
unless some other company try to sell an HDR screen mod for the deck.
ya know, some are already trying to sell screens with better color/resolution, so who knows?

the only negative thing here is a reminder that features like this appeared first on windows, this is not an incentive to migrate to linux its one less incentive to stay on windows instead.

not that im asking for "exclusive features" or anything like that but open source should/need to stay in the forefront of inovation otherwise no one will value it, it will always have this labeling of "alternative" and even worse, that word with an bad conotation.

Quoting: FSFmemberDo you know any games using Godot? Would be interested to have a look at them. Official site doesn't seem to mention any games using it, but maybe I missed it.

edit: Actually - found a list of last year games mentioned here: https://youtu.be/watch?v=UAS_pUTFA7o [External Link]

Brotato being one of of them - hugely successful game. Seems Godot is already pretty significant player.
TailQuest Defense
Ex-Zodiac
Pingo Adventure
ProtoCorgi
Primal Light
Gourdlets
Project Heartbeat
Circle of kerzoven
Fist of the forgotten
Brotato
Dome Keeper
Blastronaut
Beat Invaders
Lumencraft
Cassette Beasts
and of course:
The Interactive Adventures of DogMendonça and PizzaBoy

you're welcome.

there is also Sonic Colors Ultimate wich combined their own code written in C with an custom built of godot that they used internally and called it something else in the relase, but people dumping the files and trying to reverse then to mod and stuff quickly realized it was made on godot.

FX Technology tease their upgraded screen for Steam Deck
20 May 2023 at 12:24 am UTC

Quoting: GuestWow, Is the Deck just 40% AdobeRGB?
or maybe they are saying to it as marketing material.
the last thing i heard was that deck was ~70% sRGB, not sure how it compare to adobeRGB or wich one is the most correct one, but if the content was designed for the wrong displays anyway, using an color accurate display will improve our experiences... at what cost?
