About:
Defold is a cross-platform game engine with a lightweight, Lua-based scripting environment and an integrated editor. The beta channel provides early access to cutting-edge features and performance improvements for developers wanting to test the latest engine capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Real-time collaborative editing
  • Cross-platform deployment (iOS, Android, Web, Desktop)

  • Built-in physics and 3D rendering
Use Cases:
  • Prototyping and developing 2D/3D games
  • Learning game development with lightweight tooling
  • Publishing games to multiple platforms from one codebase
Alternatives:
  • unity – Unity offers a larger asset store and C# ecosystem but is heavier and requires licensing for larger teams
  • godot – Godot is open-source with a node-based architecture, while Defold focuses on simplicity and real-time collaboration
