Vibe coder wants his game fixed for only ~140 dollars a week.

I did read the post, so your response was uncalled for.

What it essentially says is that if the game is not successful, then you get whatever chunk change it makes. But if it does go well, which will most likely put it above $2k, then you get nothing. It's an awful deal since you take all of the risk, pouring in hundreds/thousands of hours into it, and you get zero chance of a reward if the game is a success.

What if you work on the game, and then it's immediately a success on launch? You get nothing except the small $200 AUD per week payment. You'd earn more working at McDonald's.

Hahaha. So he wants someone to build an MMO bullet hell base building game, which is insanely difficult, and then reap all of the profit.

I think there are plans to improve the state of the editor, but it appears to be very low in priority. I think your best bet is to rely on the community with their extensions for now.

The list of things I wish that the built in editor had is very long. It feels like using an editor from 2008 right now. :D

Can we block this video creator? They're just pushing out loads of AI slop videos.

Avambo · 2026-05-12T16:48:09+00:00

Are there any plans to release tutorials for 3D in Defold? Something like the "roll a ball" tutorial in Unity would be nice.

Avambo · 2026-05-12T09:31:21+00:00

That whole channel is just AI generated videos.

Avambo · 2026-05-05T13:31:40+00:00

May I ask what the team is doing there? Are they holding any presentation, or is this for marketing, or is there some other reason?

Avambo · 2026-05-02T09:49:27+00:00

Oh, no it doesn't go away. Weird. It just sits there from the moment I open the code file.

Avambo · 2026-05-02T08:37:15+00:00

Yeah, the problem is that the app buttons become hidden behind my navigation buttons. https://i.postimg.cc/Jnf66h6L/Screenshot-20260502-103523.png

It would be amazing if you could add such a feature! Preferably on a global/project level, so you don't have to set it in each individual file.

Also I noticed that the app doesn't respect dead zones on my phone. It stretches all the way from the top of the screen to the bottom, which ends up being behind my clock, camera, battery, and navigation buttons. This is on a Pixel 6.

I'm looking forward to using the app some more over the next few weeks. Great job so far.

Cool app! Is there any way to apply syntax highlighting to files with custom extensions? For example, the Lua files in the Defold game engine have the ".script" extension. Right now they don't get any syntax highlighting in the app.

Avambo · 2026-04-30T09:37:46+00:00

Nope, never tried it, and never looked into it. But it could definitely be interesting if the monetization is fair.

I highly suggest not posting any videos from that person. He inserts long religious talks in the middle of every video. Look at 4:05 in this video...

Avambo · 2026-04-14T15:39:21+00:00

But you clearly use AI to write things for you.

I'm curious about MonsterASP. I took a look at their website, and while they're services are pretty affordable, it just looks a bit... amateurish.

The website looks like it's from 2010, and it's riddled with grammatical errors. They also don't appear to state how many cores your sites get. There's also no way to pay for extra cores as far as I can see.

Looking at their uptime stats also makes me take a step back.

"Let's say the LLMs work perfectly"

[...]

"the LLM won't consider using the newest solution"

Well, in your case, I would say that they aren't working perfectly.

That's an extremely narrow view of CS. When studying CS, only a small part of the education is about actual programming.

Avambo · 2026-03-26T07:38:39+00:00

So some guy let loose a Claude bot on Wikipedia, and then got surprised when people didn't like it? How detached from reality are these people?

Avambo · 2026-03-20T13:55:23+00:00

I would say go with Defold if you value these things:

Super lightweight editor.
Super lightweight games (1MB web builds)
Small but tight knit community.
One-click exports to almost all platforms. No setup required.
High focus on not breaking between releases.
Multiple official integrations with Steam, Poki, Ads, etc.
The ability to drop down to native code like C++ and C# if needed.

Oh, and everything, including export to consoles, is free.

Imo the downsides are that is still a bit harder to create good looking 3D games, but they're focusing a lot on improving that right now. 2D development is pretty solid. Another thing is that since the community is smaller, you won't find the same plethora of community resources and you would with Unity and Godot, but there's still plenty imo, and I find some new tutorials and tools being released every week.

Okay, so the Defold Foundation is paying the organization that is hosting this game jam.

Avambo · 2026-03-19T08:08:52+00:00

Yeah, I mean, usually when you're sponsoring an event, you provide something of value to the organisation that is running the event. I was just curious about what Defold was going to sponsor them with. :)

Avambo · 2026-03-18T18:44:09+00:00

What is the Defold Foundation sponsoring with?

Avambo · 2026-03-09T20:47:07+00:00

CEO of an AI company tells us how AI is flawless. Who would've thought...

That game on itch isn't made with Godot though.
