First covered back in November of 2024 while in development, Xogot is now available on the iOS App Store for iPad. Xogot is the creation of Miguel de Icaza (the creator of the Mono framework among other projects) and is a version of the Godot game engine made to run on iPads. It is not just a straight port however, as the user interface and experience has been optimized for iPad devices (sadly it will only run on iPad, no iPhones support). It is free to download from the App Store, but required a $25 DLC unlock to actually be useful. Xogot is described as: Xogot brings the full power of the Godot game engine to iPad. With a native iPad experience designed for touch, you can create, test, and share games wherever inspiration strikes. Whether you’re building a pixel-perfect 2D platformer, a roguelike deck-builder, or an immersive 3D world, Xogot gives you everything you need to create, edit, and share games — all from your iPad. Xogot makes game development fun, approachable, and fully mobile — no laptop required. Packed with powerful tools and designed just for iPad, Xogot lets you: Build for 2D and 3D – Make stunning 2D games with tile maps and a dedicated 2D engine, or dive into rich 3D worlds with advanced lighting and physics.
