I was at GDC this past week and learned a lot about an interesting engine called DeFold, http:\/\/www.defold.com\/<\/a>. It’s focused on 2D games, and has a lot of features that seem like a natural fit for gamejams:
\n – small foot print
\n – fast performance
\n – runs on HTML5<\/strong>, OSX, Windows, Linux, even iOS and Android
\n – Hot reloading (replace assets while game is running.)
\n – Tile editor
\n – Particle editor
\n – GUI editor
\n – Spine support (http:\/\/esotericsoftware.com\/spine-in-depth<\/a>)
\n – Lua Scripting
\n – Built in editor and debugger, but you can use other IDEs.<\/p>\n

I’m going to learn as much as I can by April and try it out for LD38. Does anyone have any experience using it? Any tips or great tutorials I should check out?<\/p>\n

See you in April!<\/p>\n
