Overview
Godot Engine (C#/.NET) is a game development tool that runs on Linux.
It lets you create both 2D and 3D games using one easy-to-use program.
This software is free and open source under the MIT license, which means you won’t pay royalties or have limits on how you use your games.
Godot Engine supports building games for many platforms such as Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, iOS, HTML5 (web), and consoles like Switch, PS4, and Xbox One (through third-party publishers).
The engine uses a unique system of nodes that helps you organize your game parts clearly.
Hundreds of built-in nodes are ready to use, and you can make your own custom nodes or tools if you want.
The scene system lets you combine nodes in flexible ways, including reusing parts with instancing and inheritance.
The visual editor has a clean layout focused on game design without clutter.
It supports live editing, so you can change your game while it’s running without losing work.
The tool system makes it easy to create custom editing tools for your project.
Artists, animators, and level designers can all work smoothly within Godot’s content pipeline.
Note that this Flatpak version is unofficial and not supported by the main Godot developers.
Also, C#/.NET editing needs manual setup and does not work fully out of the box.
You will have to follow specific instructions to enable external editing and use the Blender importer or text-to-speech features.
For the best official support, visit godotengine.org to download the official version.
