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!

How does the new Unity version fare in terms of empty project size? Not so great to be honest... The iOS, Android and Windows numbers represent the size on disk while the HTML5 number is uncached download size when gzipped. No optimizations. Release mode. #gameengine #gamedev

Defold is often thought of as a 2D only game engine, but it is in fact a full 3D engine. If you found Defold thanks to recent Unity news, then we’ll try to provide a clear picture of what you can expect when working with 3D content in Defold. 🧵 #unity3d #indiegamedev #gamedev
