Would you play a game with this art style?

The awesome, free, cross-platform Defold game engine has made a major transition... into full glorious 3D! gamefromscratch.com/defold-i… #gamedev #indiedev

100,000! CRAZY! Thank you everyone for playing. It means the world to me that I have the support to continue making games full time off of my first game on steam. It’s a dream to reach this large of a number, and you all made it happen in 5 days. Couldn’t be more grateful.

Go test out my cozy little aurora game where you can make your own Aurora Borealis! l Let me know what you guys think! Link to test here 👇 rive.app/marketplace/27544-5… I spent way to much time putting on Skyrim music and tinkering with this. 😅 Made purely in @rive_app!

I made a cozy game for the @rive_app impossible ui challenge where you can edit your own Aurora Borealis. This is all in rive using scripting and state machines!

How do you feel about Solo / Small team Devs that use AI art to speed up their build times?

No fancy videos today but just know I got the back end cooking in @defold now.

Making some good progress on this slot mechanic for my game in @rive_app.

Testing a slot machine concept for the game I'm building using @rive_app and defold. Polishing it up and adding some particles and squishy effects I think will go a long way.

Skull Horde is out now! Play it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3…

Skull Horde by @8BitSkull - a fast-paced auto battler dungeon crawler where you play as a flying skull necromancer is out now on Steam: #MadeWithDefold #indiegame #Steam #pcgames #pcgaming #videogames #gamedev #indiedev

Working on improving the testing of PR's for extensions. Using a combination of GitHub Actions, Chrome browser, ImageMagick and posting results to a github pages repo. Result looks promising, although I bet there are many things to improve upon. #madewithdefold

Fun little house I made tinkering with this art style.

Testing some new animations techniques in @rive_app . This fire came out really nice it needs a little tweeking on the timeline but overall i love the way it came out.

A game engine is only part of the story. The real challenge is turning it into a reliable, cross-platform toolchain with full editing workflow for game development. That’s a big part of what Defold is about! From visual scene editors, particles, GUI, and tilemap editors to the built-in code editor for scripts, modules, and shaders, we focus on tools that are practical, streamlined, and ready for day-to-day game development. And we keep polishing them - improving User Experience, fixing bugs, and making rapid workflows even smoother and faster. You can customize them to suit your needs, extend with custom Editor Scripts and UI, that we plan to expand further giving our users more posibilities. The best tools are often the ones you barely notice, because they quietly help you make games better and faster. 🧡💙 #Defold #gamedev #indiedev #MadeWithDefold

I used the Rive bot to build me a custom particle emitter then built this cozy campfire with it. Endless possibilities.
