Many Godot developers push mobile to the end of their roadm - if they consider it at all. The common pattern: build for desktop, ship on Steam or itch, and think about mobile later if the project takes off. In this talk, we’ll explore how and why developers should start thinking about mobile earlier in their process.Mobile represents the largest ga…

Godot is growing fast, but when it comes to web game development, is it really ready for production? In this talk, I’ll explore the current state of Godot Web, focusing on what works, what breaks, and what’s missing for real-world use.I’ll walk through the actual release of a game I published on CrazyGames, sharing what it took to make it work (cus…

A talk aimed at non-artists that covers "how to art direct". We will cover basics like lighting, colors and shape language. But also teach how to stylize, what the difference between a moodboard and a reference board is and just general art knowledge that will be helpful for programmers, gamedesigners and leveldesigners.Licensed to the public under…
