Thank you @cookiebadger.bsky.social for adding area lights to Godot! I wanted to have soft glow bars on these dynamic panels and thanks to your work, it's now possible!

25 May

next version will be a nice one.... #Godot #IndieDev

Reminder that today's the last day you can get the new AssetPlacer version on sale! #Godot #GodotEngine itch.io/s/186084/ass...

cookiebadger.itch.ioAssetPlacer GDScript Remake: Version 1.5.0Here is a new version of the AssetPlacer, and while feature-wise this update might not seem as large as it could be, this update actually delivers a complete rewrite of the entire codebase, among some...

13 May

Here's why I rewrote my level design plugin in GDScript in the #GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot cookiebadger.itch.io/assetplacer/...

12 May

Now that the remake is out and stable, I'm also working on an improved UI and new features, so stay tuned. But also, getting the plugin now will save you some money ;)

Are you making 3D Levels and Environments in #Godot? Please check out my asset placement and organization plugin to support my work - I've rewritten it from the ground up for the latest versions, polishing everything up in GDScript - no more .NET needed!

The plugin helps accelerate your level design workflows. Its sale made my contributions to the Godot rendering engine possible, and fueled my passion for game dev tools! cookiebadger.itch.io/assetplacer

Didn't expect #Godot area lights to blow up now, but this demo by @passivestar.bsky.social is beautiful! For those new to my acc: the area light PR is my Master's Thesis, I've worked on it for more than 1 year practically fulltime without pay - now, it could be merged any day! 🥹 Support me below!

I contribute to the Godot engine, make gamdev tools, experiments, and sometimes little games - if you'd like to pay me a coffee, you can donate via one of my projects on itch ☕❤️🫶 cookiebadger.itch.io

For those who already know me, and use my paid level design plugin (AssetPlacer): I know the last update has been a while, I'd like to confirm that a GDScript version is almost ready + more features coming - it just all takes a long long time, especially the new automated testing

Thanks for all the love, guys!

I think I've found ways to make #Godot's built-in material properties work with area lights, textured and uniform-colored. Might post some prettier pictures later. 🌞 #ScreenshotSunday #IndieDev

6 Dec 2025

So... Textured Area Lights are ready to be reviewed - I hope they can make it into #Godot 4.7 🙈 I was able to integrate Heitz's area light texture sampling based on LTC into the forward renderer, lightmaps volumetric fog, and voxelGI. #ScreenshotSaturday #GodotEngine #GameDev #Rendering

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! Two bachelor thesis' I know about, by @cookiebadger.bsky.social and @thesmall001.bsky.social: 1. tinyurl.com/tooldesign1 2. tinyurl.com/tooldesign2

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! 🥹 #GameDev #Austria

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.... #GameDev

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

18 Aug 2025

I wouldn't use this for very simple components (_ prefixing and @'export_group should be enough), but in some cases it's nice to separate the data and external interface from the code that sets and controls all kinds of bells and whistles within the component

Thanks for the shoutout Robin 😊

Robin-Yann Storm@rystorm.com

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. indigoshowcase.nl/divi_overlay...

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

CookieBadger@cookiebadger.bsky.social

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?

The cutest birthday gift I've ever got #Godot 💙

While we can see at least some studios hire people considering DEI, from my experience we still have a long way to go. Worldwide, the proportion of female players is nearing 50%. Games belong to everybody.

27 Jan 2025

Recent developments online and offline show that some people have not gotten around to accepting that they are not the only ones playing. There can be a female Witcher, same as there can be a female CEO. Whoever only puts males in the spotlight reinforces their own bubble.

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.🧵

22 Jan 2025

I'll try to document my progress on the thesis here, now that I've familiarized myself with rendering engines, and the foundations of my topic. The beginnings were quite tough, working in isolation on new algorithms in the most complex codebase I've ever dealt with, and being unfamiliar with C++.

I've since moved back to my parents, and quit my side job to put all my brainpower into this new endeavour, which is finally making progress. Expect some (hopefully regular) updates from me soon! :) Here's a sneak peak in the meantime. 🐍 Let me know your guess for what you think this is about ;)
