Native controls
In Godot, Envy builds real Control nodes from the document. Focus, gamepad input and theming stay the engine's own.
AlphaLists, overlays, gamepad focus and translations
The game UI editor for Godot and the web
Design menus, HUDs and inventories on one canvas. The same file runs natively in Godot 4 and in the browser, and your programmers get a short contract instead of a folder of screenshots.
Envy is in alpha. We're building it on our own games first and opening it to a small group from the waitlist.
The Envy editor with The Last Hunt's main menu open. The New hunt menu item is selected, its states preview on the canvas, and the Intro animation plays on the timeline.
Shown: the editor's v2 design, now in development. Everything on its canvas works in the current editor; screen statuses, comments and team pages are Planned.
One .envy.json file, read natively wherever your game ships

Most game UI gets built twice. Once in a design tool, then again by hand in the engine. Envy skips the second time: layout, states, data and animation live in one document that Godot and the browser both read, so what you draw is what players get.
FIG 0.2
One document
Layout, states, bindings and keyframes sit in one JSON file. The web and Godot runtimes both read it as is.
FIG 0.3
Game code stays put
Your code only knows event names and data paths. Restyle and re-export as often as you like and it never changes.
Lay out every screen on one canvas. Anchors and auto layout work like Godot's own containers, so nothing gets translated on export.
Auto layout
Rows and columns with gap, padding and wrap. In Godot they become VBox, HBox and Flow containers.
Anchors
Pin a layer to an edge, a corner or the center. One layout covers 16:9, 21:9, 16:10 and 4:3.
Text styles
The Last Hunt uses 21 shared styles, from Display to Lore. Change one and every screen follows.
Tokens
Every color is a token. Change $ember and every focus bar, meter and map marker follows.
Build a button once. Variants, states and properties keep every copy on every screen in step.
Variants
The Last Hunt's Button is one set: 4 styles, 4 states and 3 sizes. Swap an instance between them in one click.
States
Hover, pressed and disabled are small patches on the component, and you preview them right on the canvas.
Properties
Expose a label, a toggle or a nested swap. An instance changes in one field instead of a dig through layers.
A real library
180 components in 30 sets ship with The Last Hunt, from glyphs and prompts to tooltips and toasts.
Bind it to the game and watch it react. Preview every state with sample data and named scenarios before a line of game code exists.
Bindings
Bind text, value, max, visibility, opacity and disabled to paths like player.hp.
Scenarios
Save named states like Low health or Boss enraged, and check each one before the game sends real data.
Events
Buttons emit named events. Game code listens for new_hunt, never for a particular button.
Actions
Go to a screen, open an overlay, set or toggle data, or play an animation, all without code.
Animate on a timeline that ships. Keyframes, easing and screen transitions run on the same math in Godot and the browser.
Record mode
Move a layer while recording and the timeline writes the keyframe for you.
Seven eases
Linear, in, out, in-out, back, elastic and step, with the same curves in GDScript and TypeScript.
Autoplay and loops
Play on screen open, loop idle effects like the breathing prompt, or start one from a button.
Screen transitions
Fade, slide or scale between screens, set per screen or per button, with reduced motion respected.
Hand programmers a short contract. Export lists the events your screens emit and the data they read. Re-exporting never touches game code.
Godot package
A zip with the addon, your document and a demo scene. Open it in Godot and press F6.
Playable HTML
One file anyone can click through in a browser. Good for playtests and for the person who signs off.
AI handoff
AGENTS.md, the contract, screenshots and typed Godot and TypeScript code, ready for a coding agent.
Schema and CLI
Check documents in CI with envy validate and print the contract with envy contract.
LiveWeb runtime
Go on, press a button. This is the web runtime running The Last Hunt in your browser. Click, use the arrow keys, plug in a controller or switch the language.
Live runtime
One file, native on both sides. Godot builds Control nodes from it. The browser builds elements from it. Neither one needs generated UI code.

7.0Craft
Fast where you spend your day. Keyboard first, with the details a game UI needs built in.
Keyboard first
One key per tool, ShiftA for auto layout, CtrlAltK for a component, and ? for the rest.
Rulers, guides and grids
Drag guides off the rulers, add layout grids and hold Alt to measure.
One token, every screen
Change the player color and the runtime redraws focus bars, meters and markers everywhere.
Every Google Font
Search the full catalog, preview it on your own title, then embed it in the document.
Document checks
Missing tokens, screens, assets and focus targets are caught before export.
Pen tool and vector paths
Draw custom shapes with bezier points. Both runtimes draw them, with fills, strokes and shadows.
Shipped this month. Lists, overlays, gamepad focus, translations, component properties and live reload in Godot. Each demo below runs on The Last Hunt.

- MCP server for coding agents Planned

In alpha, opening in waves.
We use Envy on our own games today and invite people from the waitlist as it gets ready. Pricing comes later, and we'll say what it costs before it does.
Built for games. In alpha now.
Join the waitlist for alpha access. We'll write when your spot opens.
