A plugin that allows you to embed your running game in Godot's Main Editor (and its free!).

(Plugin is at the bottom of the page :))
I originally made the EmbedGame plugin to make the development of my game 'Spirebound' easier, when I am on traveling or on trains and other transportation. I am really happy that so many people were interested in it, and so I am putting it online here for free.

You can check out Spirebound, the game I developed the plugin for, right below. Or follow the development on any other channel on linktree. You can also reach out on our discord.

Spirebound

Ascend the great spire of wishes. Embark on adventures, make friends, and overcome your fears as you make your way to the top in this casual adventure platformer in a tiny open world.

Embed Your Game!

Flip the toggle button to embed the game or separate it at any time you want before or while running the game.

Use the shortcuts for extra fast development.

You can use the default Godot shortcuts CTRL + F1...F5 to switch between main editor windows, even while running the game. CTRL + F5 pulls up the Embedded View.

Notes:

• Windows only! Godot 4.3 only. Let me know if you need other Godot Versions.
• The plugin adds an autoload to your game. It's used to communicate a small amount of data to the plugin and also to enable you to switch away from the embedded view using the shortcuts. However, that autoload is automatically removed in exported versions of your game.
• Please let me know in the comments if you need any other functionality for your preferred workflow(s), or if you would like any other features.
• if you donate something it will go towards the development of my game 'spirebound'
