You are not mistaken (if I remember correctly, full disclosure; I used to be an engine dev on Defold). Not sure why Hokusai tried to point to that forum thread in this case, which shouldn't have anything to do at all with his comment?

I don't have any numbers for you, but I would assume it's on par with other engines compiled with emscripten. We do however focus a lot on performance overall in the engine, and keeping the binary size low, so I would believe we s

This is the new upcoming editor, but still very interesting!

My answer will of course be biased, since I work on Defold. But if you are going for a 2D game, I think Defold is a really good choice. We support Android, iOS, desktop (Win, OSX and Linux) and HTML5. We try to solve all the icky platform s

Both of those allegations are false. Nothing is sent to any King servers, unless you actually want to use our analytics tools, which is an opt-in solution anyway. :) The only reason why projects are hosted on our servers is due to the legac

Ooops, missed this question, sorry for the late reply. :) The asset pipeline is not as customizable as one could wish for in it's current form, but something that will change with the upcoming new editor. In honesty, we haven't ha

I can understand coming from that perspective, that including analytics could be interpreted as unnecessary for people not actually needing it. One of the reason it was added is since a lot of game devs want to actually see how their game i

We are working on a new editor, a total rebuild (dropping Eclipse), which will also have a much better GUI/look. It will also enable extendability of the editor and pipeline. It will have a unified look across all platforms though, but

No data is collected unless you actually opt-in for the analytics. I'm one of the engine devs. :)

That is incorrect. There is an opt-in analytics solution though, and you can in fact store your code on any git server you like. :) (This is how you change git server: https://forum.defold.com/t/howto-alternative-projec

Thanks! Yes, this is something I agree with fully, and one of the things I feel works great with Sublime. edit: And while I might not have been it clear enough in my post, I'm not delusional thinking I might be sitting on a gold mine h

To be fair, the first impression of a job seeking related site should come of as professional, minor design quirks (even stuff like font errors from minor CSS mishaps) can be a thumb in the eye. Valid points and the authors seem to apprecia

Woah, that looks pretty good, the on-boarding was fantastic. Sadly Poachbox first impressions was not on par at all.
