Less is More: Modern Approaches to Low-Fi Visuals (godotfest2025)
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 cover how I iteratively developed a unique visual style that combines modern possibilities with retro restrictions. How I deal with problems and limitations - and how I squeeze every drop of juice out of those limitations. And how I use tools...
Plants, Polygons and Pixels: (godotfest2025)
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 presentation, we'll showcase our easy and free workflows for creating 3D assets of realistic foliage and trees, reveal the most important shading tricks to get them looking great, and touch upon the use of impostors for level-of-detail. During the development of our large-scale...

Gyms, Zoos, and Museums (godotfest2025)
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 about artists, and designers? Thankfully, solutions already exist: Gyms, Zoos, and Museums. Let's look at examples, see how they work, how they can be built, and how they improve the development of your games. Everyone...
Collaborative Game Development with Godot: (godotfest2025)
Games can be more than finished products—they can be living classrooms. In this session, Sarah Spiers (Senior Producer of Threadbare, former Development Director at EA, Forbes 30 Under 30) and Will Thompson (open-source developer, Endless Access) will share how collaborative development with Godot can transform game-making into a pathway for new creators. Sarah will frame why open-source practices matter for the future of the industry and how collaborative models give new voices a way in. Will will showcase Threadbare, Endless Access’ open-source narrative adventure built in Godot, where learners and contributors from around the world are...
Merging Service Provider Networks (denog17)
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 past experience, we will discuss the general approach to such a project, key architectural considerations, and challenges related to routing protocols and vendor interoperability.

Slow network, fast money: How Deutsche Telekom breaks the internet (denog17)
In Europe, net neutrality is a principle enshrined in EU law which states that all data on the internet should be treated equally - but what happens when large providers such as Deutsche Telekom systematically violate it with their interconnection practices? The Netzbremse project documents an alarming case: millions of Deutsche Telekom customers are experiencing artificial throttling of their connection because Telekom refuses to expand its peering capacities appropriately. As the only internet provider in Germany, users and network operators have to pay at both ends of the line to avoid congestion. The result: massive quality...
You can’t just model a train in Netbox: About Architecting and running modern IT Infrastructure in Trains (denog17)
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 a quick introduction of what is happening on the trains, as well as some of the challenges compared to infrastructure built in data centers: How to get proper internet on the train? How can a network look like?...
