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 - .tscn files 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

  • Location: Docked on the right side of the editor
  • Purpose: Natural language interface to modify your project
  • Integration: Directly connected to the editor’s APIs

Enhanced Workflow

Instead of manually clicking through menus:
  1. Describe what you want - “Add a player character with movement”
  2. Review the plan - Summer shows you what it will change
  3. Apply or modify - Accept changes or ask for adjustments
  4. Undo if needed - All AI changes use the standard undo system

Project Compatibility

Your existing Godot projects work in Summer:
  1. File → Open Project (or use Project Manager)
  2. Browse to your Godot project folder
  3. Select project.godot file
  4. Click “Open”
Summer will automatically index your project files for AI understanding.
When you first open a project, Summer:
  • Scans all scripts, scenes, and assets
  • Builds an understanding of your project structure
  • Enables AI to provide contextual help
  • Takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on project size

Common Questions

Most Godot plugins work in Summer without changes. However, plugins that modify the editor interface may need updates for AI integration.
Yes! Summer projects are standard Godot projects. You can open them in regular Godot anytime.
Summer is based on Godot 4.x. Projects from Godot 3.x will need the standard Godot 3→4 migration process.
