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!

Biplanar mapping is a useful technique to texture 3D geometry without UV, making it great for e.g.:
🏔️terrain
🪨rocks
🌱grass
🌳or other organic shapes

After universal atlas, from 8.45MB to 8.54MB; Universal Arch APK/AAB (Armv7 and armv9)
After Universal Atlas, 4.44MB, armv7 android APK/AAB arch only
Before Universal Atlas, 8.4MB, Universal Arch APK/AAB (Armv7 and armv9)
Same game, 1 level, 5 music tracks (uncompressed) in Godot, 179MB, 84MB with uncompressed music
Did a "soft" rework of how graphics in my game are handled, from tile sources to an atlas. More than 128 sprites exported and reimported. Took me 4 days! Saved a single Draw call lol

Did a test to see a difference in size... 4.44MB!!!

Spent some time experimenting with Defold.
Built a small, chaotic wagon prototype for the Break It challenge.
Still exploring the engine — but it’s been fun so far.
