This week I’ve got a wild idea: boss monsters are coming to the game! Working on the intro scene where the creature shows up to mess with the player’s base #screenshotsaturday #defold

Example from a real project - the building UI made with Defold GUI follows a 3D game object. A small positioning delay is left on purpose to make it look smoother. #defold

Made an example of using world-to-screen coordinate conversion - a GUI element with the player’s name follows the 3D character’s body. Perfectly fits today’s holiday vibes!

Decided to follow the latest game design trends - now in Mahjong Cards, players can pick one of three bonus cards and tweak each round’s gameplay a bit. #screenshotsaturday #defold

Inspired by GMTK’s brilliant Word Play - proving word puzzles don’t have to be boring or static. Unlike my own games. Time to add effects and motion everywhere! First up is a nice glow-up background for the title text. #defold

I opened a released project in the latest version of Defold, which I hadn't updated in 4 years. And it works almost unchanged - I only updated the manifest file and the versions of some dependencies. Isn't that wonderful?

Just dropped an update for the Object Interpolation component - made it a bit faster and tweaked the formula so it’s smoother than ever. Compatible with Defold version 1.10.4 and newer. github.com/indiesoftby/...

Started as a simple car settings menu… soon it’ll be NASA mission control. #screenshotsaturday #defold

It's obvious that this clone was made by a professional team to make money. It wasn't made by a schoolboy during lunch breaks as a joke for his friends, as platforms like Roblox with user-generated content like to portray it.

First steps in fine-tuning vehicle physics! #screenshotsaturday #madewithdefold

I figured out how the graphics settings menu appears in video games - the developers just put all the options they use themselves in there. I did the same thing, but I also moved the menu to the side so that you can see the result right away! #Defold

Testing skid marks. Done effortlessly - as lines drawn with the Hyper Trails extension and reoriented to the appropriate plane. #screenshotsaturday #defold

The ‘Object Interpolation’ component for #Defold is available for download! github.com/indiesoftby/... The doc is still rough, but it's really simple to use. Just add it to the game object that moves in fixed update and specify the second object to which the interpolated transform will be applied.

My entry for #CrazyGames x #Defold Web Jam 2025 - "Top Speed"! I won't be showing the gameplay, as I didn't have time to create a full track in such a short period 🤦‍♂️ And, I missed a bug when submitting the game at the last minute: the levels don't switch, the game can't be beaten at all 🤦‍♂️

I am coming up with different scenes to test how fixed time step interpolation works in the new component. Here, we have 20 fps from physics as is VS 60 fps interpolated. #screenshotsaturday

I am writing a useful and easy-to-use component for those who write logic or use physics in fixed updates. And who said that developing components for Defold is complicated? I even managed to create a drop-down menu for the IDE despite having no knowledge of Clojure. #screenshotsaturday #defold

While the previous example for AABB is waiting for the pull request to be accepted, the next one is on its way - "entity picking", about selecting an object from the 3D scene. It's a great demo of working with coordinate conversion, physics raycast and camera animation.

Defold 1.10.1 is running on Anbernic RG34XX H with Rocknix.

This will be an example of using the new #Defold API to get AABB of meshes and at the same time an example of implementing a dynamic bounding box to move the camera away so that it displays all objects in the scene. Looks good with physics!

It'll be an example of using the GLTF model in the engine. On Reddit I was told that the example with a cube on the scene is too complicated for a beginner 😐 But a car like this and a few pieces of the track might be ok I think?

I'm preparing update to several 3D examples for Defold website, including a new nice grid. From our dev experience you always have a few extra screens in the game to test animations, new mechanics and so on, where the grid and a simple orbit camera script are your best friends!

I plan to make levels directly in the IDE. In theory, it will just be the placement of buildings and spawn points for enemies. Seems pretty convenient. How it looks in the game in the video below 👇

Visual fit test. Gun function test. The guy just laid down to rest! #ScreenshotSaturday #Defold

These soldiers are the bad guys in the game. #ScreenshotSaturday #Defold

Defold on Linux ARM handhelds! Everything works perfectly: from GL ES 3.2 with instancing, to sound playback and gamepad control. Bunnymark test on RK3566 chip shows 52 FPS at 5000 bunnies. This seems to be a pretty decent performance! #ScreenshotSaturday #Defold

Different materials - different sounds, different colours of dust. This is thanks to my custom Defold component - I use it to store extra data about the parts of destructible buildings. That's handy! #ScreenshotSaturday #Defold

Today I created my own component with its own resource! For first time ever. I will store in it extra info (volume, colour etc) about parts of destructible buildings. And I should say a huge thanks👏 to the @defold.com team for a great example of how to create a component ("simple-data" repo).

A little late to #ScreenshotSaturday. New features of the update: targets🎯, instant bullets flight, dynamic spread when firing and the classic badass AKM, but not very accurate!

This dust effect uses a single RGBA texture, with each channel containing grayscale textures. In the green channel, we have a dissolve gradient. With the green channel in the ParticleFX component I control the dissolve effect itself. #defold

#screenshotsaturday Roguecraft is a Lovecraftian roguelike made for the retro Amiga computers <3 #retrogame #amiga #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #retrogamedev #roguelike

FXs are an important part of the game! The new effect is dust on hits. By the way, it uses a single texture and it's the particlefx built-in component! However, with a custom shader. #screenshotsaturday #defold

We're gonna make a first-person shooter like we're shooting bad guys from a helicopter! 🚁💥 But the gameplay in the video was just a demo to test the performance and the idea. Now I'm busy reworking the structure of the project, so the next video will be in a week or two. #screenshotsaturday #defold

Found my old prototype FPS made with Defold and thought I should use its assets and ideas the new game. Can you believe it - the video is almost 3 years old! 😭

Hello fellow game developers and Twitter leavers. We're Poki, the best place on web to play free games! We'll post all things web games, web tech, best practises and be very normal human beings. Come say hi:) #LongLiveTheWeb #HTML5

Testing the machine gun: new muzzle flash, new bullet trace. And sounds! #defold #screenshotsaturday

Game developers using Defold - I created a starter pack, follow (and join if you're not there yet!) 😊 go.bsky.app/U9AeMVR

How's everybody doing? This week the devs accepted 2 of my PRs in Defold, so (maybe) in engine version 1.9.6 there will be new functions in `vmath` and there will be support for instanced arrays in WebGL 1.0! - github.com/defold/defol... - github.com/defold/defol...

No real gameplay yet - still testing the performance and possibility of doing such destruction in #Defold. #screenshotsaturday

Hey #gamedevs ! I made a starter pack for gamedevs to get to know each other and support each other let me know if you want to join! :) go.bsky.app/RXShGaF

"An unidentified object has appeared in the city centre and is destroying buildings" 💥 #madewithdefold

Shader Artists! Here's a super handy reference for the formulas behind Photoshop's blending modes✨

Truly last PR for Defold and #Hacktoberfest and I think I managed to do it in the nick of time, because today is October 31 - fixed the syntax highlighting for GLSL files on the website.

I participated in #Hacktoberfest for the whole month of October and I managed to collect all 4 of the 4 approved PRs! All PRs are small examples for the Defold engine: - Unlit material - Screen Space material - Orbit camera script 🎥 - Fireworks effect ✨ - Look rotation function!

Small intro - my main passion is creating web games, I'm doing that for the Poki platform, and if it didn't go there, for other ones. We work in a two-man team (code and game design) and with the help of freelancers. We do it on the great Defold engine. So posts here will be mostly on this topic!

Folks, how to behave in Bluesky - stupidly post the same posts from X or create completely unique content since everyone sits on both sites?
