Translations, live reload in Godot, and the pen tool #

Give text a key and a table per language, edit while your Godot game runs, and draw your own shapes.

Localization tables (F9). Text layers take a translation key; tables hold each language. Preview any locale or a pseudo-locale on the canvas, export CSV for translators, and switch language at runtime in both runtimes.
Godot import and hot reload (F8). In Godot 4.6+, .envy.json imports as an EnvyDocument resource and reloads while the game runs.
Save to disk. Link a document to a .envy.json file and Ctrl S writes it, so it can live inside your Godot project.
Pen tool and vector paths (F10). Bezier paths with point editing, drawn by both runtimes.
Effects (F10). Inner shadow, layer blur, and multiple fills and strokes on frames and buttons.
Rulers, guides and grids (F10). Drag guides from the rulers, add column, row or square grids, and hold Alt to measure.

The pieces a real inventory, pause menu and controller-driven menu need.

Repeaters (F1). Bind a frame to an array and its template child is drawn once per item, with stable ids and {item.x} templates.
Overlay screens (F2). push a pause menu over the HUD and pop it again. The HUD keeps its state and input below is blocked.
Screen transitions (F3). Fade, slide or scale on goto, push and pop, per screen or per button.
Keyboard and gamepad focus (F4). Explicit neighbours, an initial button and a focus ring, in both runtimes.
Fonts as document assets (F5). Embed font files so text looks the same everywhere without setup.
Scenarios (F6). Named sample-data states like Low health, shown on the canvas and rendered into the handoff.
Component properties (F7). Text, toggle and instance-swap properties on components.

A pass on data safety and reliability before the new features.

Every document gets its own autosave, with recovery, and the save status shows what really happened.
Imported documents go through one validating parser; malformed files show a readable error instead of crashing.
Colors and strokes are validated, generated GDScript escapes event names, and runtime buttons are real accessible buttons.
An error screen lets you copy diagnostics and download your document if something goes wrong.
Export checks the document first and lists any screenshot that failed.
Continuous integration runs typecheck, tests, the build and the Godot headless tests on every change.
