Yesterday we talked about Rider for Unreal Engine<\/a>, but did you also know that Rider can be used to develop Godot games as well?<\/p>\n

There are a few things you are going to need to get started.  First off obviously is JetBrain\u2019s Rider<\/a>, which is available with in a 30 day free trial.  However if you are a student<\/a> or are an open source contributor<\/a> there are free licenses available.<\/p>\n

Next you are going to need to download and install the Godot plugin<\/a> from the JetBrains plugin repository.  Simply click the blue Get button to download the required zip file.  By the way, there is also a community contributed GDScript plugin available here<\/a>, but that is not what we will be covering today.<\/p>\n

To install the plugin simply select File->Settings, locate the Plugins option on the left, then click the Gear icon and select Install Plugin from Disk\u2026<\/p>\n

Then select the just downloaded zip file.  This will now required a restart of the IDE.  You now have Godot support in Rider.<\/p>\n

In Godot you do need to enable Mono debugging however.  This is available under Project->Project Settings, then on the left hand side locate Mono->Debugger Agent, then turn on Wait for Debugger.<\/p>\n

You can see the entire process in action in the video<\/a> below.  If you Rider isn\u2019t your IDE of choice, perhaps you want to check out using Visual Studio Code with Godot<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n
