A few words about the Defold game engine.

It is free. Is it so free that we can't even use the "Open Source" term, because we have one point in our license that prohibit to set any fee by anyone (not even by us).

Read about how we refactored a preexisting #Unity game into a #Defold version for the web!

@iolandi_logan @ressium А планов в Стокгольм заглянуть нет?

[Björn Ritzl @bjornritzl]

Hilarious! I'm impressed that he can keep a straight face!

[Alexey Gulev @AGulev]

@mwesterdahl76 @s4schoener It’s on Mac platforms, and we turned on MoltenVK by default - it’s huge.

We’ll fix it when we finish the Metal backend

Working on morph target instancing support or @defold, this is three different morph target animations but just one draw call.

@Dimillian Thank you! This is a great feature I have wanted since the Codex app was released, and I'm glad I can finally use it. ❤️

[Alexey Gulev @AGulev]

I hope @Dimillian and the team are dogfooding this and are aware that remote access to Codex is almost unusable on iOS because of constant connection drops and reconnects that can take 5-10 minutes. Or maybe someone knows where such issues should be reported?

[Alexey Gulev @AGulev]

@etk_games @mwesterdahl76 Choose whichever suits you best, and feel free to open issues in either of them. Early feedback is appreciated, but it’s better to share it in GitHub issues, as information can easily get lost on social networks and in chats.

[igor @gurenyov]

Not many people know this, but @defold teams is awesome!

And I stole their merch too 😎

@etk_games @mwesterdahl76 If you find any issues or have any feedback, please open an issue in the relevant repository.

[Alexey Gulev @AGulev]

@etk_games @mwesterdahl76 Yes, this old repo is relevant. It works very well.

I’m still working on the new one (it’s very much a work in progress, but it might already be useful): https://t.co/i9D3B2QXjn

Covered here is an amazing case of https://t.co/MBqdiOeEvU keeping their SuperWEIRD #MadeWithDefold game on the front page of https://t.co/Hfi1z78i1Q for weeks, worth reading:

It's been a while since I last used Linux as my daily OS, but during our morning calls Linux users are usually easy to recognize: microphones often don't work on the first attempt, and something always seems to go wrong. Of course, this is probably more of a Linux software issue (device prioritization and similar things) not the OS issue, but it keeps happening over and over again.

[Defold Engine @defold]

How does a small indie studio go from one release to building a sustainable rhythm around multiple commercial games?

In our new interview on the Defold Blog, Alex from @8BitSkull talks about Skull Horde, Steam launches, scope, demos, localization, console plans, Fates of Ort, Void Scrappers, Bore Blasters, and the studio strategy behind their games.

Well worth a read for anyone making games!

@SoftEngineer Ah, yeah. We need to fix that. Thx.

Yes, and it can work on WebGL 1 when WEBGL_color_buffer_float and ANGLE_instanced_arrays are available (it also relies on vertex shader texture sampling support):
