Defold is a cross-platform game engine with a lightweight, Lua-based scripting environment and an integrated editor. The Alpha channel provides early access to pre-release builds, enabling developers to test upcoming features and improvements before they reach the stable version.
Key Features:

  • Real-time collaborative editing and hot-reloading
  • Data-oriented architecture with Lua scripting
  • Built-in physics, 2D rendering, and audio systems
