Major milestone ready for testing: Godot 4.0 alpha 1 is out!

The alpha is freaking here god dammit!

• Here are the links, go play with it!: Alpha 1 Downloads

Suffice to say, this is an Alpha, so it won't be as smooth as version 3.4. At least it isn't for me. But that's kind of the point. Hopefully there are enough devs trying it and reporting the errors they find.

For me, for example, the tab key does diddly squat. But I'm gonna keep toying around with it anyway.

The announcement was made on the official blog and by @Akien over on Twitter

I mentioned  the App a couple of issues ago, and now there's more of it!

Godot Sfxr

This one arrived just in time for me, and I love it.

I have no idea how Gamefromscrach does it but as always, there's already a video about it.
