5.2.171

Warning
This version contains known performance issues and bugs that are now fixed. Please prefer using v5.2.172 and above.

Important
Games being created with this version of GDevelop won't work on previous versions of GDevelop (as a new, cleaner version of some actions/conditions have been introduced internally). Make sure to backup your game so that you can go back to a previous version of GDevelop while this version is being tested.

Support for Unicode (emojis, accented characters, Arab, Cyrillic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese...) in object names, as well as in any name in the editor

Objects, groups, behaviors, extensions, and functions now have support for Unicode names.

• This allows to use emojis, accented characters, CJK languages and any word from any language to name anything in GDevelop. This should be very useful for Non-English speaking users.
• As this is still experimental, this must be activated in the preferences of GDevelop. This will be activated by default once this is proven to work without bugs.

Autosave for Cloud projects

A new autosave feature is automatically enabled for Cloud projects:

• Cloud projects are now autosaved on each game preview. Should the editor crash, it will help recover your project.
• The saved project is stored on the device for performance reasons.

Warning
If you're using GDevelop online on a public computer, this feature saves a copy of your project in the browser storage. To make sure no one can access it, make sure to log out the editor when you leave the computer.

Simplified list of actions/conditions (no more duplicated actions/conditions that are in common between objects)

• Actions, conditions and expressions related to opacity, size (width/height), scale, animations and other common features are now visible only once when you search for them in actions/conditions (instead of being shown once for every type of object supporting them). This reduces the risk of confusion for new or existing users, notably when multiple versions of the same action were returned by the search and was making it difficult to choose the proper one.
• Internally, this works thanks to default, built-in behaviors that are supported by the objects.

Important
Games being created with this version of GDevelop won't work on previous versions of GDevelop (as a new, cleaner version of actions/conditions have been introduced internally). Make sure to backup your game so that you can go back to a previous version of GDevelop while this version is being tested.

💝 Improvements

• Improvements for 3D:
  • When resizing a 3D object with Shift pressed (or when resizing multiple objects), the depth of the object is also scaled proportionally This will make the authoring of 3D levels easier.
  • Add a default 3D light on any new layer (this won't affect performance for 2D games).
• UX improvements:
  • At project opening, reopen the tabs that were opened when it was closed.
  • The editor will now automatically fix object, group, function, behavior, or property names when an incorrect one is entered - instead of displaying an error message and losing the name that was entered. Same for scenes, external events, external layouts and extension names in the project manager.
    This is easier to understand and avoids breaking the creative workflow (for example: if you enter a space, it will be automatically removed without asking you to rewrite the entire name).
  • Improve asset store with asset pack search, filters and navigation.
  • Simplify the context menus in the Events Sheet. Also display shortcuts for the most used commands, both in the menus and in the toolbar.
  • Simplify confirmation of deletion of leaderboards by asking to type "delete" instead of the full leaderboard name.
  • Filter autocompleted tags according to community visibility setting. This avoids to show tags that gives no results.
• Allow JavaScript extensions to use resource parameters.
  • Deprecate actions that uses an expression for resources (instead, a field will be shown to select a resource, like in an object).
• Move some Tween actions in "Size" and "Visibility" groups.
• Improved autocompletions of behavior functions on object in expressions: the behavior icon is now shown.
• Add a shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl+G) to move selected events in a new group

Warning
This update brings 2 small breaking changes for 3D games:

• 3D models were flipped on the Y axis: with this new version, some models might look upside-down. It can be fixed by adding 180° to the "Rotation around Z axis" property.
• To improve lighting rendering, the color management was changed. 3D model objects will look brighter. Light intensity may need to be reduced.

🎁 3D editor

In order to easily manipulate and visualize your 3D scenes, 3D objects and models are now visible directly in the editor. This is activated by default for new users with a compatible device and it can be set in your preferences.

Note
For existing users, make sure to activate this in the preferences.

🎁 Support for 3D animations and more 3D features

• Animations are now supported for 3D Models: you can breathe life into your 3D models by playing the animations that are stored in GLB models. Simply use the actions to play and switch between animations, like for Sprite objects.

• The internal 3D engine (Three.js by @mrdoob) was upgraded to r152. This change impacted the color rendering process: 3D models will look brighter and you may need to reduce the light intensity.

🤖 Use AI to kickstart a small game

You can now use the help of an AI agent to start up a new project. This experimental feature will help you create the first level of your game and quickly go from an idea to a small game.

🎓 New Education plan for students and teachers

Education plan are designed to provide teachers a seamless and cost-effective solution for introducing game development into their classrooms. With this innovative program, educators can now easily give to a pool of users the powerful Gold Subscription benefits at a reduced price - while maintaining their anonymity (which is perfect for usage in education where privacy requirements are often stricter than in other fields).

You're a teacher? Buy the education plan for your classroom(s) directly from your GDevelop account.

Note
This plan is limited to teachers and members of a university or a school.

💝 Improvements

5.1.162

🎁 Create 3D games with GDevelop

You can now create 3D games with GDevelop: from classic 2D games with 3D elements to full 3D games. This is only the beginning, and many more game engine and editor improvements will be released in the next GDevelop versions.

The same intuitive interface you know and love remains, but with powerful new tools and capabilities at your fingertips. We have designed this 3D upgrade with the same principles that guided us in the development of our 2D game engine: simplicity, accessibility, and power.

• To help you get started, we have prepared a set of examples that will walk you through the 3D tools and features:
  • A racing game
  • A shooting gallery
  • A sokoban like game
• Watch our full video showing how to use 3D objects on YouTube.
• You can use a 3D Box object (that can be set up with images for each face of the box) and a 3D Model object to create 3D worlds and levels.
• You will also find actions to move the camera in the space.

Note
While it has been a lot of work to bring 3D to GDevelop, it's just the beginning and many more 3D objects, tools and a full 3D editor are in the works. In the meantime, 3D objects will appear as 2D in the scene editor.

For those of you eager to start creating, the 3D upgrade is available starting today. Download the latest version of GDevelop and dive into the third dimension! We are excited to see what amazing 3D worlds you will create. So, gear up, it's time to take your creativity to a new dimension!

As always, we are grateful for your continued support and feedback, which helps us make GDevelop even better. Here's to the future of game development! 🎉
