After several release candidates, the MIT licenced game engine Godot has reached Version 1.0. This version is the first stable release of the 2D and 3D game making tool that supports Windows, Mac, and Linux and that can export projects to a lot of different platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Chrome native client, html5...). A more comprehensive list of features can be found here.
The github wiki provides a handful of neat tutorials if you want to get started using the engine. As an extra incentive, a Winter Holiday Godot Game Jam is live if you want to share your creations.
Some additional coverage can be found on Blender Nation.

I was literally starting a game project today, and I think I'm going to try implementing it in godot.

Implemented in Godot running in a Raspberry Pi connected to a 1980s console TV.

It looks like something of the same ilk as http://unity3d.com/ [unity3d.com] (paid for), quite impressive looking little app when you go to their webpage. It will of course only appeal to people wanting to code their own game but I can see it having some sort of traction. Good luck to the project team!
