I deeply admire @bippinbits.bsky.social as he's not only one of the nicest people I have ever met, but also for his thoughtful, intelligent way of approaching games & business. This is going to be a fantastic talk and I am so happy that we're having René!

I am so happy we can finally announce the schedule! There will be a few more changes, including a couple more talks we have already selected but which didn't make it for the announce cut. Check out details of the sessions here: godotfest.com/talks

Omg look! It's me!

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

See, Godot can do awesome, high quality stuff. And there are folks who can do this.

Quick reminder, #GodotFest tickets are still cheaper in September. Also, first look at the schedule tomorrow 👀

I love that I can play DRG:S on my Retroid Pocket 3+ via @xbox.com cloud gaming!

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is so fantastic! So well made, UX is absolutely great and it's absolutely addicting. But the best thing: It's an Xbox Play Anywhere title, and I can not only play on PC on console, but my mobile! And it's lit! Big congratulations for such an awesome game, Funday Games!

Omg, I love Godot 4.5! I am looking forward to the end of the year (after @godotfest.com!) when I may have time to rework godot-playfab in order to use all the new features and remove all the wild hacks I needed to do, primarily because there were no abstract classes.

Ever wanted to build a map, out of tiles? If only there was something in #Godot to help... Oh wait, there is! But using tilemaps properly can be tricky... luckily we have @jackiecodes.bsky.social speaking at #GodotFest to help!

Every week, there's at least one godot game on the Steam's front page ! Thank you @godotengine.org

Check this out. @binogure-studio.com is sharing some stats on their game's steam front page feature.

Many #indieDeveloper s embrace retro or lo-fi graphics for style, nostalgia, and faster production. @anttitiihonen.bsky.social will demonstrate how turning retro limits into strengths led to the unique visuals of Reconfigure at #GodotFest!

Haha, always the same! The moment I upgrade to a new RC, I think to myself: they probably release a new version just hours after I upgrade. And sure enough, this happened again. Glad to see the full release out!

Book drop! Thanks to @rp.wtf for the Grug Brained Developer book tip!

I'm so excited for @krystof-klestil.bsky.social's talk. Mostly because I'm so keen to compare his experience on cards with mine and geek out over it. But also of course he's THE VOICE and listening to him is just sugar for the soul.

That's what the programmer in me needs!

I am so happy Pablo eventually decided to do the talk. So important to get some Console experience with Godot out!

Having scientific research being presented at @godotfest.bsky.social is so cool! And to say it with the @xbox.com motto: "when everyone plays, we all win"

Can #Godot expand beyond indie games, into AA territory? Well, the best way to learn is by doing, so the team @epictellers.bsky.social set out to create an entire full-scale cRPG, all in Godot! Learn more about this crazy endeavour @ #GodotFest!

Ever wondered what's going on behind #HallsofTorment? We're excited to confirm the talk by Paul Lawitzki, sharing lots of technical learnings @ #GodotFest! There's bound to be insights for every #gamedev!

Any questions? @coppolaemilio.com from the Godot Foundation will be hosting a Q&A session for everyone to chat and glean some insights into #Godot and its inner workings @ #GodotFest , so bring all the questions you have!

Audio in Games is so important! Paul shows us how to make music layered and adaptive at @godotfest.bsky.social!

I'm extremely honoured to have folks from @studio.blender.org do this talk, and even more so, I am keen to see it!

I am so excited for the talks, but really our CfP committee did all the work selecting exciting talks for you! Thank you all so much!

I'd be so curious to hear about how they did it, and how much of the full Godot experience you can use.

With Godot being ennobled by Battlefield, I would love to have them talk at GodotFest about how they integrated Godot!

It's the last few hours to submit a workshop or talk for @godotfest.bsky.social! Take a stab at it pretalx.godotfest.com/godotfest-25... You can enter proposals until 2025-07-30 22:30 (Europe/Berlin)

Join us at #GodotFest this November in Munich! 🤖 More infos: godotengine.org/article/godo...

Will likely submit a talk for @godotfest.bsky.social on how to make an in-game store with Steam in #GodotEngine!

I am working with the Steam Inventory API right now. This is the most atrocious API design I have ever seen. My goodness. It took me the better part of half a day to find out which things I needed to call how and in which order just so I can list inventory items with names.

We're hosting GodotFest 25 - GodotCon Europe. See you in November!

Psst! Hey! We've shaken off the old #GodotCon 23 logo and got a tasty new one for #GodotFest! 🥨 But this is just one of the many things we have been preparing in the background Stay tuned for a post on the #GodotEngine Blog tomorrow, with many of the long awaited news - tickets are just one 👀

The veil has been lifted, and I am more than proud to announce that we're hosting a new, annual conference for professional Godot developers in Munich. Thinking about sponsoring? DM us!

Happy Freedom Day to Germany! Thank you, United States, United Kingdom France and all other allied nations for ending World War II and defeating Germany. And then rebuilding it. That's why we can now live in peace and free of oppression in a very prosperous country. Thank you!
