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

6/7 ⚡ Optimization: Volumetrics can easily halve your frame rate! Devs keep passes under 2-3ms on consoles by using: 🛠️ Half/quarter resolution rendering 🛠️ Temporal accumulation (reusing old frames) 🛠️ Importance sampling #Rendering #TechArt #gamedev #indiedev

🧵 The difference between games that make $10K/month and $10M/month? It's not the gameplay. It's the monetization ARCHITECTURE. I published a deep dive on 15 Game Monetization Systems every developer needs to master. Here's what I learned #gamedev #indiedev #gamemonetization👇

11/12🎬 10. REWARDED ADS — 80-95% completion rates vs 1-5% for traditional display ads. The secret? Players OPT IN. Place them at motivation peaks: after death (revive), before hard levels (boost), when short on resources. Same psychology as Fail Offers.
