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

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

Just posting a little update. I now have the agent working and all the art is done. Its a incremental snake like. Next redoing onboardening create a lot off gamejuice. Made with @defold and @rive_app #gamedev #solodev #defold #rive

If you’re interested in 2D animation workflows in Defold, keep an eye on SpriteLoop 👀 There's a Defold native extension for .spla animation playback, with editor integration, a dedicated component, Lua helpers, and examples 🧡💙 The latest development updates are exploring Smart Limbs, which looks like a very promising direction for sprite-based character animation. #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev #animation

Defold 1.13.0 beta brings a couple of nice workflow improvements to the Scene View toolbar ⚙️ The grid, camera, and scene visibility popups have been cleaned up and unified, with better controls, live shortcut feedback, value fields for sliders, an improved grid color picker, localization, focus traversal, and various UX fixes.

Very thankful for @defold and @godotengine for being alternatives to the juggernauts of Unity and Unreal. Excited for the future of these engines@

I’ve been working on a collision avoidance solution for @defold. I managed to reduce the simulation time for 2500 agents from ~1.91 ms (RVO2) to ~1.19 ms (custom), about a 60% speedup on a single thread. Next step: threads with Defold’s JobSystem 😄

Another teaser from the upcoming FPS template for Defold This time with: 📦 more assets from @KayLousberg's Prototype Pack 🔄 reloading animations 🎯 GUI for ammunition 💥 billboarded ParticleFX for shots and hits 👊 enemy knockback on impact 🎮 gamepad support We hope this will become a useful base for your own 3D experiments in Defold! #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev #FPS #3D #gameengine

So for the past year I've been working on my @defold spider game. Almost there! I've put together a little preview. I'm playing testing it right now and soon will need to decide where to go with it? @wavedash ? @Poki ? #crazygames ? @Steam ? Suggestions?
