Embracing the fold the Defold

My Thoughts on our choice of game engine​

Why Defold?

In mobile game development, efficiency is paramount. Every decision you make has a true cost to our users. That's why we've chosen Defold as our game engine of choice. Built specifically for mobile games, Defold offers great performance allowing us to create sleek, lightning-fast experiences without the bloat often associated with other engines like Unity.

Introducing ts-defold.dev

Why stop there. To elevate our development process even further, we've integrated ts-defold into our workflow. Here's why:

  • TypeScript Superpowers: By leveraging TypeScript for all our game logic, we embrace a fully typed code base. This not only enhances code readability but also enables us to catch errors at compile time, ensuring a smoother development cycle.

  • Seamless Transpilation: ts-defold transpiles TypeScript to Lua with zero runtime cost. This powerful feature not only bridges the gap between two languages but also brings Lua up to speed with modern programming paradigms like object-oriented programming and type checking.

  • Enhanced Editor Support: With ts-defold, our development environment receives a significant boost in editor support, streamlining the entire process and fostering a more efficient workflow.

In Conclusion

With Defold and ts-defold, we're not just building games; we're crafting experiences. Our commitment to precision, efficiency, and innovation ensures that this project we undertake is executed with excellence.
