[estivate]

• [ ] Rust 0.6.2, by Estivate : https://github.com/estivate/ldtk_rust Loads LDtk file into a typed Rust struct, should work with any Rust game framework, include example in Bevy Engine.

[JoshLee0915]

• [ ] Godot 0.6.2, by JoshLee0915 : https://github.com/JoshLee0915/GodotLDtkImporter

An import plugin that allows Godot to treat .ldtk files like native resources and uses them to create Godot scenes. Still a bit rough but have had some people asking to make a prerelease for it so they can use it.

Also, @deepnight may I ask what the license around the logo is? I would like to make a small modified version to use on the Godot Asset Library as they require one and wanted to check if we are allowed to before doing it.

[deepnight]

@JoshLee0915 I haven't thought about the logo license so far, so let's say it's also under MIT, which seems quite logical at this point 🤔

[JoshLee0915]

Sounds good, thank you!
