Coming from Godot?
If you’re familiar with Godot, you’ll feel right at home in Summer. The interface, node system, and scripting work exactly the same way you’re used to.Quick migrations will soon be available. As Summer is based on the Godot codebase, it allows us to focus on making the best AI-powered game development experience while maintaining a familiar editing environment. This makes it easy to migrate your existing Godot settings to Summer.
What’s the Same
Everything you know about Godot still applies in Summer:- Node system - All the same nodes, properties, and relationships
- GDScript - Your existing scripts work without changes
- Scene structure -
.tscnfiles are identical - Project settings - Same export options and configurations
- Asset pipeline - Import settings and resource formats unchanged
What’s Different
Summer adds AI capabilities on top of the familiar Godot experience:AI Chat Panel

- Purpose: Natural language interface to modify your project
