If you have games you’ve written in Godot 3 (or are currently building), [Godot 4 alpha 2 is out](https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-0-alpha-2?ref=exploregame.dev), so it might be time to explore what it takes to port those works to Godot 4.

I’ve created an in depth guide to porting one of the official Godot 3 demo games; [*Dodge the creeps*](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/getting_started/step_by_step/your_first_game.html?ref=exploregame.dev).
