GDevelop

📂 Folders now available in the Project Manager

Use folders to organize scenes, external layouts, external events and gameplay tests in the project manager. This is helpful for large games, for example when you have a lot of external layouts for multiple levels in a game.

🤖 Connect GDevelop to your local AI agent ("MCP")

An experimental "MCP" connection is now available to plug your own agent to GDevelop's tools. This is useful if you want to experiment building, debugging or learning with an AI agent like Claude Code, Codex, etc...

Read more about how to setup a local agent in the documentation. This MCP, and the integrated GDevelop AI agent, will be improved if they are proving useful.

🌊 New ready-to-use 3D water and liquids

When adding a new 3D water object to your scene, you can now select a ready-made version from the GDevelop asset store:

They work well with the 3D terrains or, more generally, any 3D game.

💝 Improvements

• Make gameplay tests more reliable and support multiplayer games
• Add a "synchronized over the network" setting to behaviors:
  • When disabled, behaviors are not synchronized, which is useful for behaviors like "Input Mappers".
• Add a shadow normal bias to directional lights to avoid shadow acne.
• Add Bluesky to the community links of the profile
• Redesign the order of the properties of 3D boxes in the properties panel.
  • For custom objects and custom behaviors, properties are shown grouped per folder, and the groups are following the same order as these folders.
• Add pre-made effects that can be added to objects or 2d layers (tints & status colors)
• Add conversions across the boundary of custom objects ("ToParent"/"FromParent" expressions)
  • Also add 3D versions of distances conditions/expressions and "turned toward" condition.
• Use the discrete graphics card and warn when the 3D rendering is slow (useful for devices with multiple GPUs or with hardware acceleration disabled)
• Load big projects faster and use less memory to load and save them.
• Show 3D model previews as icons of 3D objects and model resources.

🐛 Bug fixes

• Prevent crash from stale multiplayer heartbeat answers (thanks @dajiaohuang!)
• Fix crash of the 3D editor when adding an object with 3D physics from the asset store
• Fix instances placed in a scene being deleted on players when the scene is slow to load (multiplayer)
• Fix some memory leaks in the editor
• Fix object changes reverted in the in-game editor after switching editors
• Fix 3D layers wrongly not antialiased when they have post-processing effects
• Fix some crashes when an Array variable get holes

• Fix some effects display, especially CRT
• Fix crash of the user chip when the profile has no username nor email.
• Fix othographic camera scale according to the world scale

⚙️ Extensions

• Set the "mapper" behaviors as not synchronized over the network by default: they translate the inputs of the local player: on the copies of objects owned by other players. They must stay deactivated instead of being re-activated by the owner's game.

🏔️ New 3D terrain, grass and water objects

A new experimental 3D terrain object is now available. Try it in this new example. Read the full documentation here.

• You can sculpt the terrain directly in the editor and also paint it.
• Up to 4 different textures and/or colors, with support for normal maps.
• Terrain can be edited during the game with actions.
• Randomized terrain can also be generated.
• Wetness and custom color can be painted.
• Terrain can be used with 3D physics (just add the 3D Physics behavior to your terrain) and the 3D "NavMesh" based pathfinding.

The terrain comes with additional objects to draw maps easily and efficiently:

• Fast rendering of grass is available as a "Terrain Grass" object. The grass will either be displayed where it's placed in the scene when used alone, or will position itself on the terrain if it's positioned above one or more 3D terrains.
• Vegetation, forest, rocks and large number of medium to small objects can be drawn using the "Scattered models" object. They will be displayed on the scene on the area of the instance, and will sit on the terrain if positioned above one. 3D Physics and navmesh will properly avoid instances drawn on the level.

A new 3D water object is also available, allowing to render semi-transparent, realistic looking water.

ℹ️ These objects are new and provided, like many other features of GDevelop like 3D lights and 3D particles, through reusable extensions. Be sure to regularly check if there are new versions available.

🎇 Upgraded 3D rendering with improved shadows and new effects (ambient occlusion...)

The 3D rendering (based on Three.js) was upgraded with:

• Better quality shadows when using a direction light ("sun" light). Be sure to upgrade the rendering mode to "Fitted to camera view" in existing games to benefit from it.
• New 3D effects: faster bloom, depth of field, ambient occlusion, tone mapping. You can try them in the same example as the 3D terrain here.
• Lights are now using realistic, physics based formula for their rendering.

⚠️ Existing games must upgrade the Light3D extension to v2.0. You must then adapt the intensity and decay of the point and spot lights, usually by increasing the light intensity by at least 10. This is because lights are now using a realistic, physics based formula for their rendering. Note that you can upgrade Light3D to v2.0 and it will still work in previous GDevelop versions.

⚠️ Any game using extensions using Three.js/3D rendering should upgrade them to the latest version. If you are the author of such an extension, see here how to upgrade.

🏂 Custom easings for Tweens

Custom "cubic-bezier" easing, as well as custom "easing functions" with a name that can be reused in the project, are now available for the Tween extension (thanks @ViktorVovk!).

• Tweens can now use a custom easing curve, in addition to the built-in named easings (linear, easeInQuad, ...). A custom curve is written like in CSS: "cubic-bezier(x1,y1,x2,y2)".
• The easing field gets a Custom curve... entry that opens a visual curve editor.
• New custom easing can be named and reused across the project (or across an extension)

🎮 New st

🌤️ New, ready to use 2D/3D particle effects, skyboxes and fog

Effects can now be added from the Asset store, starting with 3D skyboxes and 3D fogs:

Many new 2D and 3D particle emitters are also available in the asset store:

💝 Improvements

• Multiple UI improvements:
  • Preferences : redesigned preferences dialog and keyboard shortcuts,
  • Resources editor: allow selecting multiple resources and apply common actions (smooth image, delete),
  • Scene editor shortcuts now work without having to click on the canvas first.
• Improved autocompletion and error messages based on variable types:
  • Autocompletion is available for bracket access on structures and arrays (MyVariable[...]).
  • Suggestions are now only showing variables with a relevant type.
  • Error messages are improved when brackets are left empty. An error message is also shown when a string, number or boolean variable is used where a structure or an array is expected (and vice versa).
  • Fixed autocompletion of variable parameters in function calls wrongly suggesting objects and functions.
• Multiple improvements for the AI agent:
  • Files can now be attached to chat messages (and used in the game if needed),
  • The agent can now take and analyze screenshots of the game, making it more useful,
  • External layouts are now supported,
  • The agent can now read, create and modify extensions (custom functions, objects and behaviors). This is useful to create reusable, modular game logic or advanced objects.
• Add a new action to tween the camera Z position
• Add support for the m4a audio format
• Performance improvements: textures embedded in 3D models are now shared in memory.
  • Geometries, materials and textures are also properly disposed of when an object is no longer used, avoiding memory leaks
• Make "Enable AI for students" button more visible in the Education dashboard.
