Hello, Defolder! 👋
What a week we have had! In case you missed it we’re happy to let you know that last week we announced that the Defold source code was made available free of charge and that Defold was transferred to the Defold Foundation. We’ve seen a tremendous interest in Defold since the announcement and we are happy to welcome so many new developers. We will share more exciting news later this week and until then we invite you to read this newsletter. We have a new Defold release, some fresh new Defold games and a pretty cool new feature.
Support the Defold Foundation
The Defold Foundation works together with industry partners to provide developer-friendly software and services to game developers across the globe.
The foundation invites individuals and teams of developers to support Defold development through one-time or recurring donations. Depending on the size of your contribution you get access to a number of different rewards and benefits.
