Defold 1.13.0 Beta is here! 🚀 This is a big release and a spring cleanup where we remove a lot of deprecated stuff to keep the engine modern and lean and bring in new fascinating features and fixes focused on rendering, stronger 3D workflows - especially with morph targets, and also improved physics scripting, and better editor tooling. Some of the highlights: 🤩 Morph target support for model components 🧲 Expanded Box2D scripting, including joints 📹 Camera preview overlay in the Scene View 💨 Frustum culling for Particle FX 📱 Vulkan as the default graphics API on Android 🎨 New material and compute script modules ⚙️ Runtime graphics adapter and feature inspection 🤖 New authenticated editor /eval endpoint for automation workflows 📦 Smaller macOS and Android engine builds 🧹 Cleanup of legacy APIs and formats As this version introduces some breaking changes, we remind you as always with beta releases: use source control, read the migration notes carefully, and let us know what you find. #Defold #gameengine #gamedev #indiedev #WebAssembly #Vulkan #glTF #Box2D

Finally completed the Defold JobSystem integration. I’m testing with 3 workers for now (kind of a safe/performance choice). With 2500 agents, simulation time is ~0.54 ms avg (single threaded was ~1.20 m avg). With 5500 agents, the average is ~1.16 ms.

I made a simple lua code formatter extension for Defold Editor Features: ① right click a script, gui_script, lua, render_script file on Assets to format it ② support stylua.toml forum.defold.com/t/the-lua-c… #MadeWithDefold #Defold #defold #opensource

Play testing my game. Level 3. Bumbag Mothstravaganza! The moths. They know things. Given the light they tell you secrets. They fly in formation and reveal their knwledge...like the code to the exit door 1️⃣8️⃣6️⃣8️⃣🚪

Starting to think about some end-of-level bosses.. with a little added juice #shmup
