JetBrains Renews its Platinum Sponsorship of the Godot Foundation

JetBrains has renewed its Platinum sponsorship of the Godot Foundation for 2027 and continues expanding Godot support in Rider. Rider now covers GDScript, C#, and C++ GDExtensions in one IDE, is free for non-commercial use, and adds debugging, testing, and addon templates, with more node navigation and remote scene debugging coming in 2026.3.
What this means for indie developers:Godot indie developers can use Rider free for non-commercial projects to get unified GDScript/C# editing and debugging, making it worth a trial.

Grit – GDScript to C++ Compiler

Grit is an experimental toolchain that compiles a Godot project's GDScript into C++ and then native code at build time, claiming 1.1x to 50x speedups with no project or script changes. It covers the full language (lambdas, await, signals, inner classes) with VM-identical behavior and per-function fallback to the VM for unsupported code.
What this means for indie developers:Indie Godot developers using GDScript can get native-level performance with zero code changes, making it worth testing on performance-bound projects.
