At the #GodotFest I was asked about editing SConstruct in Rider. ~6h of investigation, just to understand it was already supported 😅. Currently requires the following to work in @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social 🧵

I’ve created a proposal about improving the selection of external editors in @godotengine.org: github.com/godotengine/... It also includes a design idea for supporting alternative mechanisms for opening files in an external editor, not just by calling the command line.

1. Yesterdays #GodotFest recodings are already on youtube. Wow, this is sonic speed! 2. Brilliant www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVLz... when it comes to coding for @godotengine.org GDScript, C# and C++ @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social is a great tool. 3. Impressed with the @godot-rust.bsky.social community.

Today #GodotFest I realized that IRL suggesting to run `scons vsproj=yes dev_build=yes` is not the same as suggesting it on discord. Just coded automatic in-Rider suggestion to simply run it without googling.

Digged a while today about bringing the Godot game window to front, when debugging from Rider. Turns out not possible with current architecture on Mac, but works fine on Windows. youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-...

Come see me talk about using @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social as your Godot IDE on Tuesday! godotfest.com/talks/godot-...

Got a simple Godot Plugin to simplify setting recommended set of settings on and off. github.com/JetBrains/go... Curious of WDYT. I have more plans for it, like search Rider installations.

Reflecting on my yesterdays gdextension development chatgpt.com/share/68ff0a...

The idea sounds very promising youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-... I plan to look at it on vacation 😅 credit @sandorhq.bsky.social for the first part of it.

🔜 GodotFest

The Rider 2025.3 Early Access Program is now open!🎊 The first build in the series comes with: 👾 A host of improvements to game development 🆕 ".slnx" solution templates Check out this blog post to learn about the updates included in the first build: 👉 jb.gg/rd-253-eap-bs

For me this was a pretty intense shaping @godotengine.org support in a minor @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social release 2025.2.1. youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/RIDER...

GDExtension and a @godotengine.org demo game in one @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social solution. Possible with github.com/godotengine/...

Made a couple of debugging improvements in the @godotengine.org. Adds features to DAP server. So all external editor may benefit from it, not limited to @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social github.com/godotengine/... github.com/godotengine/...

Yesterday added everything to comfortably work on a @godotengine.org GDExtension in @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social github.com/godotengine/... Now I am asking for a battle test.

JetBrains is sponsoring the work we do for all of you! If you are working in GDScript or C#, you should give Godot + Rider a go. We would like to thank them for becoming a Platinum Sponsor of the project! godotengine.org/article/jetb... @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social

The #GodotEngine just got a major new supporter... @jetbrains.com - one of the biggest creator of developer software, including Rider, the #gamedev IDE. Excellent news! gamefromscratch.com/jetbrains-sp...
