Didn't manage to finish the Options, but I have a surprise for you...

Take a gander at my Boss Visual Damage system... I got the idea from feedback 2 years ago!!!

It still has some ways to go but; there is lots of potential :D

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.

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!

First things first, right? So instead of polishing the platform spawning to perfection in The Moon my Destination, I started work on the intro. Nailed the mood though!

I published an interview with Vlad Protsenko about the Cljfx project with a quick intro to #Clojure, demonstration of building a #JavaFX user interface, and an inside look at the @defold.com game engine and its JavaFX IDE.

Defold 1.11.0 Released! 🥳

As always, few of my highlights - this release is full of bug fixes and an important breaking change - removing scale along Z to make the workflow easier and more approachable for a cost of aligning with it, so read the details!

If an experienced and talented engineer get their hands on #Defold, it suddenly shows as a capable and beautiful engine!

This is the power of fully customizable modern render pipeline!
