1. Push the envelope of open-source FPS games in regards to a coherent design, style, technology and overall quality

2. Enable the game to be playable on lower-end computers, but provide higher fidelity for those who have more powerful hardware

3. Allow joining the game from a web browser for quick sessions, as well as providing downloadable package for residential or portable usage

4. Actively help the development of Godot engine and other open-source tools that we depend on

5. Facilitate 3rd party content via mods

How to Edit the Game

Liblast Godot 4 Downloads

Current Godot version used in main branch is 4.0.alpha.calinou.d26442e70 (taken from Calinou):* Editor for Linux * Editor for Windows * Editor for Mac OS

As Godot 4 haven’t had a stable release yet, we’re using development builds. It’s important that everyone uses the same version of the engine, as there’s still rapid changes going on.

If you’re having issues and you suspect an engine bug, test with the current nightly builds before reporting the problem here or in Godot Github.

Important

It may be necessary to delete asset import cache after updating the engine version. If you are having issues, try to delete the Liblast/Game/.godot/imported directory before opening the project. Godot will re-import all assets. Deleting the Godot cache directory ~/.cache/godot can be also helpful if you face problems.

No, it’s not a library ;)
