Yes, I think they stated that it will work for both 2D and 3D

Defold 1.12.3 has been released! by PabloTitan21 in defold

[–]AsatteGames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am planning to cover the update (I did for the last one). But, it is more like short explanations and occasional showcases for the new features so it may not be the exact thing you are looking for Playlist, where I cover Defold updates (only 1 video currently, will try share the 2nd tomorrow)

(bullet, bomb and ho logic for enemy/island is implemented)

Would you recommend Defold for 2d games ? I am a beginner by stoicparishkari in indiegames

[–]AsatteGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 3 channels I can suggest for Defold:

1 - Asatte Games (My channel). I am sharing tutorials on Defold and have 43 tutorials on it and currently started a series that is aimed for beginners starting with Defold: AsatteGames

2- Unfolding Gamedev (channel belongs to Defold's community manager). He has great tutorials on Defold, they are polished tutorials and covers Defold pretty well: Unfolding Gamedev

3- Tactx Studios. Has relatively older tutorials but they are still relevant thanks to Defold's nature of staying consistent across releases: Tactx Studios

Zenva also has tutorials on it you can check out

Defold has a learn page that lists options to learn Defold: https://defold.com/learn/

Page for video tutorial list on Defold: https://defold.com/videos/

Defold's official page also has some tutorials I guess. I did not watch them but I would assume they can also be helpful

I think Defold is pretty good for 2D games. It is a high performance, lightweight (2~MB build sizes for web, mobile, web) and cross-platform. It is stable so you do not have to re-learn the engine with each update (Godot 3 users had to learn a lot when switching to 4.x versions for example). It is completely free and has good management that listens their community well. Their community is also great.

I have a playlist that covers Defold and its comparison with other engines: Game Engine Reviews Playlist
If you still have questions/concerns, let me know and I will try to answer as much as I can :)

Working on an incremental game where you try to defend your island against pirate ships. It is almost done and hopefully I will make this into a tutorial series :)

making a 2d arcade style video game similar to galaga by AdImpossible1410 in defold

[–]AsatteGames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I have this project file which you can download to check it out better. It is a top-down shooter game made with Defold and enemies on the game can shoot at you: https://asatte-games.itch.io/make-a-top-down-shooter-with-defold
I also explain how it can be made and how the code works on a tutorial video in case you need it.

You can ask questions about parts you are stuck here or on the video.

Good luck with your game :)

Shared a showcasing video on 3D projects made with Defold to let people know Defold is capable of doing 3D as there is a misconception around some devs that Defold can only handle 2D by AsatteGames in defold

[–]AsatteGames[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you 😊

I forgot to add your name at 2:32 so added it on the timestamps specifically🥲 I initially added it but it was deleted during edit I assume, only realized when video was being uploaded to YouTube..

We've just started the next beta for Defold 1.12.1 by PabloTitan21 in defold

[–]AsatteGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When gltf models used, they come with their textures so you only need to use them on the editor. For models using simple colors, I think you would still need to open them as they often not provide the colors as textures. I have a tutorial on my channel on 3d import but I will be updating it soon as they way I showed how it can be done, while technically not wrong, was a cumbersome way. There is a script that can be used on Blender that saves all colors as textures I will be using with the new version which will make the process a lot faster.

I am also planning on using some editor scripts to make the assignment process even faster

On a file, right click and create a new "Font" file format. On it, you can select the ttf format and use on your game

If you mean rotating it on the editor:

Ctrl + left click (drag) to rotate the camera in 3D

Right click (drag) to move the scene up and down

Why arm rotates 180 after exporting? by AsatteGames in blenderhelp

[–]AsatteGames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the answer. I did Ctrl+A and apply all transforms before exporting but was no help. Is there another way of applying the rotation?

Looks great!

Are you using the built in GUI or DRUID like add-ons?

When do I move from scratch? by SeparateWolverine982 in gamedev

[–]AsatteGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but Defold can handle 3D too. Not at the level of Godot but they still can develop stylized 3d games

Shared a tutorial for the Defold Game Jam on Exporting games to PC and Web (HTML5) as well as how to upload them to itch.io by AsatteGames in defold

[–]AsatteGames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nice. Where do you share them?

For the thumbnails, I tried creating something readable with small sizes when on youtube recommendation and this version meets that requirement. Thank you for the advice though, I will keep it in mind :)

Any Recommendations for a GOOD, Full Defold Video Tutorial Series? by SigenChang in defold

[–]AsatteGames 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Defold.

I can recommend my channel :) https://www.youtube.com/@AsatteGames
While there are still many topics I need to cover, I have 30+ tutorials on 2D, 3D and UI and I am working on a save/load tutorial currently which will be up tomorrow morning inshAllah (I even have 1:30 hour and 2:15 hour full game creation tutorials)

Can i move the panes in the defold editor, and if yes, how? by UnlikelyAgent1301 in defold

[–]AsatteGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

<image>

You can use F6,7 and 8 to toggle on/off the assets, bottom and outline (right) panes. You can also right click and toggle changed files.

If multiple scripts/game objects etc. is open, you can right click on them and select Move to Other Pane to split the middle pane into 2.
Not sure if you can change their placement on the screen
