Defold 2020 Review
Last year was probably the most exciting year in the history of Defold (or at least on par with the re-launch of Defold in 2016)! We’ve tried to summarise some of the highlights in this blog post.
GameDistribution
GameDistribution recently became a Defold Foundation corporate partner. We are now pleased to announce availability of the official GameDistribution SDK integration for Defold.
Creator Spotlight: Paweł Jarosz
In the first Creator Spotlight post of 2021 we had the pleasure of interviewing Defold community member Paweł Jarosz to learn more about him and his game Witchcrafter: Empire Legends.
Community projects
New tutorial series
Defold expert Alexey Gulev has started translating his Defold “Getting Started with Defold” tutorial series from Russian to English.
Dicebag
Dicebag is a Defold library with a lot of useful features for random numbers, coin flips, drawing tokens from a bag and so on. Perfect for game development!
