My talk went great, thank you to everyone for coming!

I often get questions about whether there is formal research about Tool Design, and there is!

A middle-aged woman in Austrian TV just dropped they have massive respect for video game developers. I was surprised they know we exist, let alone think of and admire our restless work! 🥹

Pixel-perfect object picking in #Godot in my new project. Can you guess how I made it?
Maybe I'll make a tutorial of it one day....

I like to create UI components that immediately update in the inspector when you change the data.

But I find it annoying that exported NodePaths for internal dependencies show up in the inspector when the node is used in a scene outside.

This is what I came up with. #Godot

Thanks for the shoutout Robin 😊
A classic issue in asset browsers is that users only see thumbnails of assets. This gives everyone barely any idea of what the assets look like!

A good way to solve this is with a Zoo, which showcases all the assets in 3D at the same time.

AssetPlacer for Godot can even generate Zoos automatically

I'm really looking forward to my talk at INDIGO next week!

Shoutouts to @cirocontns.bsky.social, @cookiebadger.bsky.social, and @kenney.nl for so many fantastic plugins and 3D assets that will be used to showcase workflow examples.

Recently confirmed again through a survey by @pgda.at, the industry in Austria is more than 80% male.

we can do better than this...
In this series out of 100 developers, there isn't but 1 woman!

In times when people make a fuss about #woke and #queer overrepresentation, the reality is, that we are still far from having any widespread diversity in #GameDev!

We could use AI for problems that we weren't able to solve before, instead of using it to do stuff we could already do ourselves, but worse and by frying a bunch of GPUs in the process....

just a thought

@adobelive.bsky.social what's up with those dozens of Acrobat installers, making up dead GBs that remain in C:/Windows/Installers if not forcefully deleted by hand?

They make up more storage than the app itself. Did you never notice? Or is it that your cloud storage revenue is too low?

I've been very inactive recently, due to my research project, which I didn't want to announce prematurely.
You might know I'm doing a Master's in digital games, and got started with my dissertation about rendering stuff. This is why there were no AssetPlacer updates recently.🧵

Hii to all of you who started following recently! 🤗🥰

I make #gamedev tools and do #Godot engine development.

If you want to check out my work, maybe my thesis and #LevelDesign plugin might interest you, I just released a free Demo for it! <3

1 round is not enough to show of your skill.
So you can play 3 now. 👀

*we all know that the first match is always a warm up 😅*
So it doesn't count 🙈

#LevelDesign & #EnvironmentArt people: Do you use 3D prop libraries, also called "Asset Zoos"?
An asset zoo is a scene that contains each asset you need in an organized manner.

I added a feature to my #GodotEngine plugin, to automatically generate a zoo from an asset collection:

I want to get a quick look at my assets at any moment, so I've started experimenting with dynamic previews👀

New devs often are indecisive between using C# and GDScript in #Godot. Especially with the many people coming from #Unity, the discussion on C# has gained a lot of attention.
Since I was asked, here's a🧵of my experience with C# in Godot.

Just finished the second devlog of my #Godot4 leveldesign plugin. It's a more in-depth writeup about the implementation, the C# and plugin caveats, and stuff that the docs don't mention.
