@defold
is going to #GDC this year!

Do you want to talk about how to migrate your game to the Defold game engine, or perhaps how to integrate your tech into our eco system.

Please reach out, and we can schedule a meeting!

Did you know that Defold supports cloud builds for free? You can create custom builds, integrate additional native code, add new Lua bindings and optimize the size of your application bundle without setting up a single tool or SDK.

And if you want, you can easily set up a local solution using ready-to-use Docker images from a public registry.

C++ locales is a gift that keeps on giving, eh. Today, people working on Vulkan in Blender found out that compiling shaders in parallel is not very parallel… Issue turned out to be in spirv-tools where it does a to_string which of course locks a mutex around a locale. :facepalm: github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-

Why an optimizer/validator for a *binary* shader format would be doing some “to string” operations for every instruction? That’s a good question as well ;)

Making progress. Here is the test app with the C# extension running in iOS.

Currently relying on some workarounds with the #dotnet system, but it runs!

I made a video about my 2023 progress developing the procedural landscape for my game The Big Forest.

It's my first ever video in a "classic YouTube format" with intro and outro, channel branding, background music etc. I'd love to hear what you think!

We have decided to remove the $200/month fee for console source code access. Source code access is not required to build Defold games for consoles, but if you are an approved developer you will now also get access to the source code should you ever need it!
