Gui Studio — Screen Editor for Godot 4

Design a game screen once. Ship it to Godot 4 as a real, editable scene.

Public beta — $20. Full Windows app. Free updates for buyers.

Gui Studio is a desktop screen editor for Godot 4. Design menus, level selectors, shops and game-over screens visually — with a full library of buttons, panels, icons and 9-slice styles — then export a working .tscn that opens in Godot with anchors, theme, fonts and navigation already wired.

Every other UI tool (Figma, Adobe XD, Justinmind) gives you HTML/CSS or a spec doc. Gui Studio gives you a Godot scene. Real anchors. Real 9-slice. Real theme variations. Real font resources. You open the .tscn and it just works.

What you get

• Visual screen editor with real device frames (phone 9:16, phone 9:19.5, phone landscape, tablet 3:4, desktop 16:9).
• Nine built-in UI styles — flat, casino, bubbles, cartoon, glass, metal, neon, verdant, wood — with editable palettes and adjust knobs (gloss, gradient, border, radius, elevation).
• Six ready-made screen templates: main menu, level selector (4×5 grid), shop, game over, pause, settings.
• Your own art — upload PNG/SVG and tag each one as button / panel / background / icon / decor / logo. Buttons carry 9-slice margins and optional per-state textures.
• Groups export as real containers (HBoxContainer / VBoxContainer / GridContainer) — not fake positioning.
• Icon library (@icons pack) — 557 SVG icons ready to drop on buttons; they tint with the theme.
• Real Google Font wired as default_font in the theme. Labels and buttons render with the right font without touching anything in Godot.
• Grid duplication, multi-select, align, distribute, and Figma-style edge snap.
• Direct export to your Godot project folder — auto-detects the project viewport (project.godot) so pixel positions are correct for your game.
• MCP server for Claude Code and Cursor — scaffold screens from natural language and write them straight into your project.

How it works

1. Pick a device and a style. Drop pieces on the canvas or start from a template.
2. Add your art, edit text, wire button actions between screens.
3. Click "To folder", pick your Godot project — done.

What ships in the export

• screens/*.tscn — one scene per screen, with real anchor presets.
• assets/ui/<style>/ — PNG textures + theme.tres and theme_full.tres (Button, ButtonCta, ButtonSecondary, Panel, ProgressBar, LineEdit, TabBar, CheckBox, HSlider all wired).
• assets/images/, assets/icons/, assets/fonts/ — every image, icon and font you actually used.
• Router.gd — navigation script compatible with DRS Transition autoload if you have it, plain change_scene_to_file otherwise.
• Layout.gd — safe area + AdMob banner reserve math, using the real Google AdSize table (BANNER, LARGE_BANNER, MEDIUM_RECTANGLE, FULL_BANNER, LEADERBOARD, ADAPTIVE).
• project.json — the whole project, re-openable in Gui Studio.
• README.md — install steps for the exported pack.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 (x64). Installer ships as NSIS.
• Godot 4.6 or newer recommended for the exported scenes.
• ~100 MB installed (includes render cache + vector atlas).

Current price: $20 — public beta. Buyers get every update free. Price may rise after the stable 1.0 launch.

License

All packs, themes, scenes, and files exported by Gui Studio are royalty-free for your commercial and personal projects. Third-party notices bundled with the installer:

Icon set: Voxybuns" class="redactor-linkify-object">Voxybuns" class="redactor-linkify-object">https://github.com/voxybuns">Voxybuns / @icons — MIT.
• Fonts: Google Fonts under SIL Open Font License.

Roadmap

• Per-state textures for custom-uploaded buttons (normal / pressed / hover).
• Text inside custom TextureButton (icon + label composite).
• Re-import round-trip: edit a .tscn in Godot, pull changes back.
• Unity / UGUI export target.
• macOS and Linux builds.

FAQ

Does it work with Godot 3? No. The exported .tscn is format 3 (Godot 4). If you're on Godot 3, the theme resources won't load.

Can I use the exported scenes commercially? Yes. No royalties, no attribution needed for the generated art. Third-party assets (icons, fonts) keep their original licenses (both are MIT / OFL, so also free for commercial use).

What if I want to design at a different resolution than my game? Gui Studio reads window/size/viewport_* from your project.godot and rescales the design to match. For pixel-perfect fidelity, pick a device in Gui Studio with the same aspect ratio as your game.

Does it come with updates? Yes — every update ships as a new build on this page, free for buyers.

Refunds? If it doesn't work for you within 14 days of purchase, email me and I'll refund. No questions.
