Godot is a 2D and 3D open source game engine developed by Godot Engine community. It features a built-in development environment which runs on Windows, OS X and Linux and can create games targeting PC, mobile and web platforms.

Godot Engine is a fully-featured, MIT licensed 2D and 3D game engine, which can be used to create games, apps and gamedev-related tools. It has been open sourced under the MIT license and is now developed and maintained by the Godot Engine community.
