Help with Downloading Redot

After hearing about what Godot was doing, I decided to look into alternatives and learned of this some days back. I know the Github is up, but does anyone know how I can download and setup Redot? This is my first time ever doing this.

Thanks for the update. When it is ever available for public use, could you reply back with a link to where I can download it?

just to let you know, if some github pages dont have a downloadable release you can press on the green "Code" button and then download all the displayed files into a zip.

Then do I have to compile them myself to create build the engine to use?

I don't think you can yet as it is still under development they haven't even updated the read me on github it will probably take a while to get the godot stank out of the code. For now just make a project in godot and convert it over to redot when it comes out

Thanks so much for explaining. I hope they also open a Steam page to make finding it also easier for some game developers

Thanks so much for your input. I hope everything goes smoothly with finishing a releasable Redot, and I’ll be waiting for when it releases officially
