Extract text from GDevelop projects (GDG)
To convert GDG projects to another format, you need GDevelop or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Development File" file type, you need software like GDevelop or a similar tool.
A .GDG file is a game development project file created by GDevelop, an open-source, cross-platform visual game engine originally created by Florian Rival. These files serve as the central blueprint for a game, storing data about scenes, visual logic events, object properties, and file paths to external assets like audio and images. They are formatted as standard XML data.
Working with .GDG files presents several real-world challenges. It is a proprietary project format, meaning it is not a playable game. You cannot run a .GDG file in a web browser, media player, or mobile device. To make the game playable, users must open the project inside the GDevelop engine and compile it into target formats like HTML5, Windows .EXE, or an Android APK. Additionally, because the logic is highly specific to the GDevelop event system, you cannot easily convert a .GDG file into a project for other engines like GameMaker or Unity.
This file format is difficult to convert directly into other game formats because standard converters fail to translate engine-specific visual logic. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the playable game data. However, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Since our analysis detects the supported underlying XML format, viewing the raw code or converting it to TXT or JSON may still be possible. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and extract the data if supported.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GDG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CBR, PDF, CC1, PZFX and ADT files.
If you want to convert GDG file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use GDevelop or similar software from the "Game Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to GDG, try GDevelop or another comparable tool in the "Game Project Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our GDG converter.
