It's the last #ScreenshotSaturday of 2025!

As the year comes to a close, we’d love to see what you’re building with Defold.

Are you polishing something that’s nearly ready to ship, or laying the groundwork for a fresh project in the new year?

Lil Progress Update

(Damn, I'm so bad with promises. Im sorry)

After working on the Option system in Astro Impact! De_Make, I had to go back and redo the first level. Its in a better state now.

I also did work on the GUI. It looks and feels nice now

In the newest Defold 1.12.0 (currently in beta), we’ve introduced a reworked update loop and added a new "Late Update" ⏰

Docs will be updated to reflect the changes, until then you can read the details in our release notes ✅

We hope these changes will help you better control the game’s life cycle!

Even though we recently share and people are making more and more 3D games in Defold too, it doesn't change a fact it's still a good proposition for 2D, especially for mobile and web:

🪶 Lightweight
🎁 Live Update
📲 Hot Reload, test directly on mobile
💻 All needed SDKs officially supported
💰 Free

The LittleCoaster scene, made by @deboltfx.bsky.social for the Defold Community Challenge is a tiny scene imported from Blender that includes a full PBR rendering pipeline and is now open source!

We really appreciate the tiny nod - the blocks forming the word “DEFOLD”.😉
