    Video quickly became outdated :D The Defold Foundation announced that access to Nintendo Switch build tools and engine plugin is now FREE, so the information in the video about 25$ for the access is outdated now - if you support the Defold with 25$ nowadays, you will additionally receive a source code to the game engine version for Switch - if you want to modify it for your game, which is rarely the case, but it's good it's available nevertheless ;) Soon, the video will be outdated even more, because of ongoing works on the other console support... :D

    A great game engine that deserves way more attention!

    I didn't know about the collaboration with Rive, I'm definitely going to give this engine a try sometime soon. Nice job on giving a good overview of the engine!

      Thank you! Yeah, Rive collaboration was announced almost 2 years ago and over a year ago they started alpha testing the extension ;)

      Just watched your archive stream on mesh generation in godot really helped me with my confidence

    Sold Out! I will definitely try the Defold Engine after I finish the current game with the Godot Engine. I really love 2d and 3d mixing and perhaps it's better option for this task.

    Lots of the UX for the GUI is painful. But I vouch for Defold's focus on reliability.

      I hope so too, it's really an underappreciated engine! ;)

    Hi from Poland!I must try Defold.

    • @unfolding_gamedev
      @unfolding_gamedev  Год назад

      Cześć! Część dokumentacji jest już przetłumaczona na polski, ale angielski jest jak najbardziej potrzebny :) Miło Cię poznać i dawaj znać w razie czego! ;)

    Lua is a scripting launguage I love so I might try this

  • @unitygamer8261
    @unitygamer8261 Год назад +6

    I'd definitely use Defold Engine if the Unity is being gone away. For me Unity > Godot > Defold. I used to use the Defold in past and loved it but i think defolt still is having lack of documentation quality but the engine is great.

    • @unfolding_gamedev
      @unfolding_gamedev  Год назад +2

      I believe Defold has a very comprehensive documentation right now :D
      It's true though that not all engines are best for everything. Defold has its specialization areas where it might be a better choice than Unity and there are areas where Unity is better too :)

    I’m considering learning this for Nintendo Switch development in the future since W4 Games’ program unfortunately isn’t something I can participate in at the moment. Plus I’ve wanted an excuse to try a new game engine that’s somewhat similar!

    Calling it a 3d engine feels wrong. It's a 2d engine primarily that supports 3d, but everything about is tailored towards making a 2d game, and if you want to make a 3d game, you have to fill a lot of gaps yourself or via third party plugins

    • @unfolding_gamedev
      @unfolding_gamedev  Год назад +2

      Well, it is a circle :D It is technically really a 3D engine though, but I always emphasize it's tailored for 2D or '2.5D' game development :D

      There is this project: forum.defold.com/t/first-person-controller/70172
      And this: ruclips.net/video/6q-RRTSxqDs/видео.html
      Everything's possible - give it a try! ;)

    • @unfolding_gamedev
      @unfolding_gamedev  Год назад +1

      Yes! There is an official Spine extension for Defold: defold.com/extension-spine/

    Does this game engine support SDK for porting to console games?

    • @unfolding_gamedev
      @unfolding_gamedev  9 месяцев назад +1

      You can currently make games and if you are approved by respective manufacturers you can build it for free for Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation 4 (and 5 soon or now in backward compatibility mode, and Xbox soon). I honestly don't know what is STK though

    What exactly is this video trying to say? It shows nothing in the program and I've seen a few of those games in videos for godot.

  • @Prajwal____

    It requires higher opengl support :(

    • @unfolding_gamedev
      @unfolding_gamedev  Год назад

      There is a fallback option to OpenGLES 2.0? Or do you mean something different? :)

      This is, I believe, from Defold example Infinite Runner that was turned into tutorial here: defold.com/tutorials/runner/

      Unfortunately 0 😅 I'm too small now, I did it out of just my passion for the engine, but when I grow and get sponsors, I will inform you, if you'll be still interested! 😃 I have a Patreon though (but inactive now, I need to refresh it), so maybe, maybe, some day 🤑
