Serious business with @structed.bsky.social that was seriously photo bombed by @crayondev.ie and @anniibo.bsky.social #godotfest

Welcome to GodotFest 2025! A 2 day conference in Munich, Germany. It is great to see many folks from around the world, using, developing, publishing, and promoting Godot, all in one place!

When designing tools, it’s easy to focus only on what they do and not how people use them. At #GodotFest, Robin-Yann Storm will teach how to design tools and workflows that fit together seamlessly, balance time and cost, and make teams more effective in the way they work.

How I know I'm working with an awesome team at #GodotFest: * 2200: too tired to work on integrating Bsky API * 00:00 Other team member takes a stab * 01:00 testing now * 03:15 This is BS. I am not going to invest one more minute into this * 04:35: got it working. Good night * 04:45: here's more

Before you leave for #GodotFest in a few days - if you want to showcase your projects, bring a laptop! We'll have two rooms with tables and power. Spots are first come first serve, but reset during lunch break to give everyone a chance.

It's fascinating to see where Godot games are going from showreel to showreel! - much higher quality and polish - much more 3D. A while back, it was mostly 2D. Now it's mostly 3D

The best-looking UI means nothing if your players can’t read it. In her workshop at #GodotFest, Henni (itsjustletters.de) will show how Godot’s font tools help designers build accessible interfaces: starting from the basics all the way to advanced OpenType features and more!

The age-old wisdom for adding multiplayer to a complex single player game is: Don't. But the team of Dome Keeper did it anyway! Chris Ridenour will talk about how they did it at #GodotFest

Thanks to Miguel (Bitbrain) we now have a beautiful schedule and map overview on GodotFest.com/schedule! It is final and you can plan your days with a certainty. Just press the little ❤ and export to calendar!

Come see me talk about using @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social as your Godot IDE on Tuesday! godotfest.com/talks/godot-...

Why write documentation no one reads when your own game can be the documentation? At #GodotFest @rystorm.com will show you how Gyms, Zoos, and Museums help teams test features, showcase assets, and document systems interactively.

Hey, so @godotfest.com is taking place in 2 weeks, and I'll be there! Feel free to DM me if you'd like to meet up and talk about 💼 @w4games.com products and services (Consoles, Build, Professional Services) ⚙️ #GodotEngine development priorities 🎮 your awesome Godot projects

👀

People often ask the team at @Bippinbits what they love most about #Godot. Curious about Luca Andre Martinelli’s answer? It’s productivity! At #GodotFest he will share practical examples and insights from their work on Dome Keeper and PVKK.

I made an update to the @godotfest.com website and you can now favourite the talks you want to see and create your own schedule. godotfest.com/schedule #godotengine #godotfest

What is going on? The trailer of @ballxpit.com was so well done, just the narration sold me on the game! Downloading this on my Xbox ROG Ally X as we speak! (It's in Game Pass & Xbox Play Anywhere!)

FYI: 🔜 #GodotFest 🥳

Roll call! 📢 Who's going to Godot Fest next month? godotfest.com #Godot #GodotEngine #GodotFest #GameDev

Mike's GDUnit4 is an absolute essential for me and my godot-playfab plugin. Really looking forward to his talk and to improve my unit testing experience!

Congratulations on your launch today, Battlefield-Team! I believe, you also just shipped the first known AAA usage of @godotengine.org! So cool to see this. Way to go, Godot Engine!

This talk is particularly near & dear to my hear. I personally thing, that this topic is massively overlooked in gamedev in general, but with indies in particular. Looking very much forward to this talk and chatting with Patricia!

We as a Godot community can't thank Gramps enough for making and maintaining GodotSteam. Thank you!

Proud to announce Deviant Legal’s Game Developer’s Guide to Publishing Agreements: a free resource for developers wanting to learn about publishing deals. Publicly accessible, without requiring to provide your data: deviantlegal.com/guide/game-d...

A cool perk of working from home is cooking a great meal at home for yourself and your loved ones. Takes me the same time as going out for lunch in the office (or shorter), it's much cheaper and probably also more healthy.

Complexity in software is the death of robustness, maintainability and joy. It took me more than a decade to realise, and now 20 years into my career, I still sometimes fall into the complexity trap.

Ah, it feels so good to never miss an opportunity to dunk on Brexit when talking to my British friends 😂

Shipping web games with Godot isn’t simple, but there are ways to make it less painful! At #GodotFest Luca Leonardi will walk you through the actual release of a game, sharing what it took to make it work!

Absolutely enjoy working on godot-playfab these days! The Godot 4.5 compatibility is ready for testing! Along with quite a big docs overhaul and parallel request improvements. Help me test and get it from the develop branch (no package yet): github.com/Structed/god...

This is cool to have the various topics together in a timeline with the research linked: howtomarketagame.com/benchmarks/

Psst, two more hours to still get the ticket much cheaper! GodotFest.com bsky.app/profile/godo...

Reminder that the #GodotFest discount ends today, don't miss it! Undecided? Check the schedule and speakers, there are so many great people we are excited to hear and meet in this community!

Today is the last day of the regular pass sale for @GodotFest ! Use GODOTFEST25-10-OFF for another 10% off! GodotFest.com

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!
