Our community challenge to create something interesting with physics in Defold is slowly coming to an end, and we’re getting some really interesting submissions - like this Carrion-inspired controller: #MadeWithDefold #opensource #gamedev #indiedev #physics #challenge

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. #Defold #tutorial #beginners #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

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. Itch page: balkanramgames.itch.io/break-it-woo... #gamedev #solodev #defold

We just checked out Dragosha’s new #opensource Tiny World demo that includes a full-blown level editor with terrain sculpting and object placement, plus all the lighting and other rendering features from the Lights & Shadows project 🧡💙 #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #leveleditor

Added instructions on how to import my #gameassets into Raylib and Construct 3 (beta); kenney.nl/knowledge-ba...

Last week to submit your physics projects to our Community Challenge: Break it! We’ve already received some amazing submissions, so this #ScreenshotSaturday we’re featuring one of them - a cool project by Sam where you crash into other wagons! #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev

Druid - a powerful framework for User Interfaces by @insality.bsky.social has now been updated and you can now quickly test many different widgets! If you're building a complex GUI for your games, this is very helpful! #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #UI #framework #indiedev #solodev

We’ll be refreshing our website, so we're looking for games for our showcase! ✨ If you have a game #MadeWithDefold and would like it to be featured, please reach out to us! 🧡💙

New community contribution: Physics Tools by @aglitchman.bsky.social It adds editor scripts that generate collision assets from images: 🚤 a convex hull shape 👤 a silhouette chain from thin box shapes It's perfect for tracks, terrain, and complex boundaries! #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev

New Defold is now in beta! 🎮 New 3D sample now built into the Editor samples ✨ ParticleFX - emitter property get/set 🧩 Models now supports custom vertex attribute data 🧵 Rendering: support for more than 8 vertex streams 🖼️ Editor Scripts can now show images #Defold #gamedev #indiedev (1/3)

We talked with Erick from @kuyimobile.bsky.social - a solo indie developer with 20+ years in #gamedev and dozens of shipped titles. He shares how Defold helps him ship games across web, mobile, and Steam several times a year! Read the interview: defold.com/2026/02/17/C...

Our community member @cenullum shared progress on their Minecraft clone, now featuring hundreds of NPCs walking on voxel terrain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyyh... #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev #minecraftclone #solodev #indiegames #voxel

The progress over this is astonishing - it has now a translucent shader for the liquid, just take a look: #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #physics #computeshaders #simulation #liquidsimulation #indiedev

We’d like to share a near-term snapshot of the areas we’re actively aiming to push forward over the coming quarters. Check the details in the blog post: defold.com/2026/02/10/D... #defold #gameengine #gamedev #indiedev

Are you a Unity user that want to try Defold? We’ve created a dedicated starting point for you: “Defold for Unity users” helps you get productive fast by covering the essentials and mapping familiar Unity concepts to their Defold equivalents. defold.com/manuals/unity/ #unity #unity3d #gamedev

I made simple shadows on top of my deferred shading - no filters, blur, and pretty visible peter panning, but it works! 😎 Shadow mapping is done using Defold Camera component to "see" the world from the perspective of the sun light ☀️ Details: forum.defold.com/t/deframe-de... #gamedev #indiedev

Continuing my render pipeline tooling experiments - now testing simple deferred lighting! ☀️ directional sunlight 💡 point lights 🏝️ ambient light 🗺️ normal map support #MadeWithDefold #rendering #gamedev #indiedev #vfx #shaders #lighting #opengl #vulkan #webgl #webgpu
