We see even higher productivity gains in Defold. We can go from obscure Google Play callstack with no clear STR to reproduced issue on an Android emulator and a proposed fix in an hour or two. This would previously take many hours or several days.

Xbox Platform moves:
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced Xbox Labs — a small crew of developers, engineers, and scientists focused on turning new ideas into real features players and creators can actually try (better ports, remixes, old games in new places). Building in the open.
Also: free Defold engine just got official Xbox support. Approved indies can now target Series consoles at zero extra cost.
Quiet signals that lower barriers over the next couple years.

Defold Recebe Suporte Oficial Do Xbox E Amplia Opções Para Desenvolvedores Indie
A Microsoft confirmou que o Xbox passou a oferecer suporte oficial ao Defold, motor de jogo gratuito e multiplataforma descrito como leve, poderoso e pronto para produção. Com essa parceria, os criadores podem exportar seus projetos diretamente para o Xbox Series X|S e o Xbox One, aproveitando as APIs da plataforma e a integração com o Visual Studio, sem custos de licença.
Para estúdios independentes, isso significa menor gasto inicial e maior foco na criatividade, enquanto os jogadores podem esperar um aumento na diversidade de títulos no catálogo do Xbox, sobretudo experiências 2D e 3D que antes eram difíceis de portar
A Defold também planeja melhorias de renderização com ray tracing e suporte a realidade virtual, recursos que poderão ser explorados futuramente nos consoles da família Xbox, reforçando o compromisso da plataforma com um ecossistema aberto e acessível.

I am always late to these posts.
Anyways. Here are some videos showing footage of a match 3 game we have been working on as time permits.
Maybe we should have worked on an #RPG instead. #MatchThree games aren't easy to create. 😂🤣

For #ScreenshotSaturday I wanted to show off a new WIP map for Lane Protocol, going beyond the OG Clash Royale/Minion Masters inspired 2 bridge map.
This one is a 3 lane map with two capturable side lane islands and a long midlane to fight over. #madewithdefold #wavedash
