Introduction to the DEFOLD game Engine
For those who don´t know it, Defold is a game engine that used to belong to KING, the mobile games developer, and publisher, until they decided to give the engine to the Defold Foundation, to make it free and open-source.
The engine is both a 2D and 3D engine, with some limited functionalities, that are very easy to get familiar with, a very lean interface, and scripting based on the LUA scripting language. The quality of the games that can be achieved is quite high as you can see in the videos that have been used in the introduction. If you want to learn how to make games, or you want to see other alternatives to other game engines, this tutorial series is for you.
In the first lesson, we went over the game engine IDE, its main blocks and its capabilities as engine to create multiplatform games.
in the second lesson, we have set the ground bases for a platformer/metroidvania prototype.
