Can I edit the code myself?

A Godot project. A directory of ordinary files on your machine: scenes, resources and GDScript files. There is no proprietary container, no export step to get at it, and no database that only we can read.

Godot is open source and free to download, so the software that opens your project costs nothing and does not come from us. Flockbay bundles its own copy of Godot so you can build and play without installing anything, but that is a convenience rather than a lock. Nothing about the project depends on the bundle.

So the answer is yes, with no asterisk on the ownership. The asterisk is on the workflow, and it is a few paragraphs down.

Read them. Edit them. Put the folder in version control. Copy it to another machine. Back it up the way you back up anything else. Hand it to a friend who programs and have them open it in Godot and work the way they normally would.

None of that is a feature somebody built for you. It is a consequence of the project being stored in a format that somebody else already documented, and it is most of the reason that format was chosen.

It also means the game does not depend on us continuing to exist. What you built runs locally on Godot, and it is ordinary Godot code rather than something that checks in with a server before it starts.

The working assumption of the app is that you build in Flockbay. You can open the project in Godot and change it, because the files are exactly what they look like. What does not exist is machinery that reconciles two editors, and we are not going to imply that it does.

Concretely: nothing locks a file, nothing merges two versions of a scene, and nothing warns you that Flockbay is about to write into a script you rewrote by hand last night. If you edit something yourself and then ask for a change to the same behaviour, Flockbay works on the file as it finds it. That usually goes fine and sometimes does not.

The way to be safe is the ordinary one: keep the project in version control so you can see what changed and put it back if you do not like it. And if a file matters to you, own it completely rather than sharing it.

Plenty of people building here have a programmer nearby: a friend, a contractor for the last ten percent, an artist with a technical streak. The arrangement that works is a clean division of ownership. They take the systems and work in Godot, you carry on in Flockbay building the world and asking for behaviour, and you agree up front which files are whose.

The version that goes badly is a programmer called in occasionally to fix things, because each visit starts with rereading whatever changed since the last one. Ownership is cheaper than archaeology.

The project format does not fight this arrangement. It also does not manage it for you, which is the same point as the section above in a different costume.

Flockbay can be driven by an agent you already use, over MCP, running on your own machine with your own model and your own credentials. That is free with a Flockbay account, and the built-in AI stays available whether or not you use it.

It is not a bespoke integration with any particular product. Any client that speaks the protocol should be able to connect, and how pleasant it is depends on the client, because they differ in how they handle tool discovery, errors and long-running calls.

It does not make anything offline. Asset generation and world data still come over the network no matter where your model runs.

Flockbay is not a plugin for the Godot editor. It does not install into a copy of Godot you already have, it does not appear in your keybindings, and it does not offer completions while you type. It is a separate desktop app for Windows with its own builder and its own bundled Godot.

There is also no command line tool to install. The app is the interface.

If what you wanted was an AI coding assistant inside the Godot editor, that is a reasonable thing to want and this is not it. Knowing that before the download is worth more than finding out after.
