Premium asset packs are now available on the Asset Store 🌟

We're launching premium asset packs in the Asset Store - you'll progressively find more packs that can be bought with high quality assets made by artists, designers, animators from all around the world.

👋 If you're a designer and want to sell your assets to GDevelop creators, learn more info here and reach out to us with this link.

A new onboarding tutorial has arrived! 🎮

The in-app tutorial has been reworked completely:

• Create a full Fling game from scratch, with step-by-step instructions, within GDevelop.
• The tutorial is split into 3 chapters: Creation, Publication and Leaderboards. It's 5-10 minutes for each part and everything is explained.
• Pause and save your progress at any time. You can save your project, close GDevelop and continue later.

Want to help us translate this interactive tutorial, or even other tutorials in the future, in your language? Contribute here!

The toolbars and the Project Manager have been redesigned! 🎀

We redesigned the top tabs and toolbars in the app, so the app looks modern and takes less space on the top of the screens.

• On desktop, the titlebar is now gone and replaced by the tabs and a button to open the main menu of the app.
• On the web-app, if installed (available on Chrome and Edge), the titlebar can also be retracted. Whatever your system or device, the menu can be accessed from the top left.
• The top toolbars have been entirely redesigned to be integrated below the tabs - which is more intuitive for new users. All the icons have been reworked to be cleaner, take less space, and be more modern.
• The debugger toolbar was also improved to display just Play/Pause according to the game state.
• Finally, the Project Manager was also redesigned so that it's clearer and faster to use!

Ask for a coffee ☕️

You can now enter a donation link on your GDevelop user profile.

• It accepts any type of donation page, Ko-fi, Patreon, Paypal, Github...
• Once entered, it will appear on your Liluo.io Game and Profile pages.

Customize your leaderboard 🏆

From your game dashboard, you can now customize the colors of your leaderboard to match your game's style.

• Silver and Gold subscribers can modify the 4 main colors of the leaderboard. You can try it out here! Leaderboard Playground.

Cloud projects are now available on GDevelop desktop version! ☁

You can now save your project in the cloud directly from the desktop version of GDevelop. This means that:

• Cloud projects can be imported or backed up on your local computer - it's as easy as saving your cloud project as a new project and choosing "Your Computer" as the new location.
• You can also open an existing project saved locally on your computer and save it as a Cloud project. All the assets, resources and files used by your game will be exported to the cloud project. It's then super easy to work on your project from anywhere, by opening it from any computer running GDevelop (with the desktop or the web version).
