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 Shader This was something I needed for one of my prototypes, so it is not exactly biplanar mapping. I needed a separate surface texture for the top. Please consider this shader expensive to use. Sorry 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

Another entry-level Defold tutorial is now updated, and we’d love your feedback, especially if you’re new to Defold 🧡💙

It includes a complete side-scroller project with assets and walks you through modifying the game and adding new features.

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

#Defold #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #pixelart

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.
