Shipping a good game that no one desires is a sad affair. It's also easy to accidentally make a production too large. I'll share how we avoid this by building many prototypes, evaluating them against real people and then go into an appropriately scoped production, staying happy devs in rough times. Maybe most importantly, i'll share how we validate…

Whether you're working on a stylized open-world game or a realistic landscape visualization, vegetation will be a major part of your application's graphics. But it's also uniquely tough to create and render: diverse habitats, delicate geometry, complex shading, and unique animation require an entire toolbox of tricks to look good. In this presentat…

The development of Halls of Torment has taught us many lessons about making commercial games in Godot. In this talk we will take a deep dive into the games' code and share our learnings about project structure, programming patterns, performance profiling, and many other technical topics.With Halls of Torment being our first Godot-based commercial p…

At DB Fernverkehr, we are running some IT Infrastructure on a large fleet of ICE Trains. In the past, there was only WIFI for the passengers, and many systems were handled as “embedded systems”. Nowadays, more aspects of “modern IT infrastructure” are part of the IT in trains, providing additional services like passenger information.This talk gives…

Many indie developers choose to use retro or low-fi graphics in their games for style, ease of development and nostalgia. Join me in this talk to learn how I have combined low-resolution dithered 3D graphics with modern rendering techniques to come up with colorful, crispy visuals for *Reconfigure*, an upcoming sci-fi FPS-puzzle-adventure.I will co…

As the German service provider market slowly consolidates, network engineers and architects will increasingly face the complex challenge of merging service provider networks. This technical talk dives into the intricacies of integrating distinct IP/MPLS network infrastructures, focusing on practical considerations and potential pitfalls. Based on p…

JetBrains Rider is a great IDE for Godot. But how does it work? In this talk, we'll take a behind the scenes look at how we build the Godot features in Rider. We'll cover some of the challenges we've faced while creating a good user experience for Godot development in C#, GDScript and C++. We'll see how we've made it easy to debug your game, either…

Well, there's always NAT, or NPT. But that's supposed to be the *dark ages* 20th century IPv4 solution. So how do you do it *nicely* in IPv6?The "nicest" possible approach seems to be dst-src routing (aka SADR, aka sourcedest) — this talk summarizes the situation before diving into that solution. You will hopefully come away with an understanding o…

Everyone always mentions that people do not read documentation. This is also the case for us as game developers. So what can we do about that? First, it is important not to force everyone to read pages and pages of documentation. Usually, only programmers and other technical folks go through all the effort of reading up on functionality. So what ab…
