Hello everyone, welcome to the #45 issue of This Week in Godot, Godot is a popular Free and Open Source game development engine and toolset.

I'll try to cover the most relevant news, releases, games, tools, and anything else relevant. Please, if you have any recommendations or, any idea you can send me an email to albizures@vk.com or, even better, you can open a PR in GitHub.
