Seven months late for that joke but Defold Toretto is that you? Super cool project!

New community contribution: Physics Tools by

It adds editor scripts that generate collision assets from images:
π€ a convex hull shape
π€ a silhouette chain from thin box shapes
It's perfect for tracks, terrain, and complex boundaries!

Feel free to try it out and let me know if you have any feedback or feature requests! Btw, the skills work great with almost all AI coding agents - OpenCode, Kilo, Amp, Cursor, Codex, Claude, Cline, etc.
Plus, Iβve released a collection of configs and skills for anyone using AI agents to develop games with Defold - forum.defold.com/t/agent-conf...
Hey! Iβm excited to share "Physics Tools" for the
@defold.com engine - editor scripts to generate 2D collision from images:
-> Convex Hull: Generates .convexshape (4-16 vertices) with optional inset.
-> Concave Silhouette: Creates a chain of boxes for complex static geometry (tracks, terrain).
Details - our mahjong game started getting a building meta, and things spiraled - now, not only can you build your own base, but a monster shows up and tries to mess it up (but thatβs it, nothing too crazy). It canβt appear out of nowhere on the map - players deserve a cool intro sequence first!
This week Iβve got a wild idea: boss monsters are coming to the game! Working on the intro scene where the creature shows up to mess with the playerβs base

...UI is made with the Defold GUI.
Example from a real project - the building UI made with Defold GUI follows a 3D game object. A small positioning delay is left on purpose to make it look smoother.

Made an example of using world-to-screen coordinate conversion - a GUI element with the playerβs name follows the 3D characterβs body. Perfectly fits todayβs holiday vibes!

RGB30 is one of the best Linux handhelds!
The bonus cards are simple for now, but itβs a first iteration, and Iβm sure this will make the gameplay more interesting and varied for players!π
Decided to follow the latest game design trends - now in Mahjong Cards, players can pick one of three bonus cards and tweak each roundβs gameplay a bit.

Inspired by GMTKβs brilliant Word Play - proving word puzzles donβt have to be boring or static. Unlike my own games. Time to add effects and motion everywhere! First up is a nice glow-up background for the title text.

4 years - August 26, 2021.
I opened a released project in the latest version of Defold, which I hadn't updated in 4 years. And it works almost unchanged - I only updated the manifest file and the versions of some dependencies.
Isn't that wonderful?
I will also be adding this component to all of my older 3D examples (Scene3D, Ludum Dare compo games etc) to ensure they run smoothly for everyone.
It now works correctly even in situations where the fixed updates runs at the same frequency as the regular update, which could produce an alternating pattern (e.g., 2, 0, 2, 0) before stabilizing to 1, 1, 1β¦ Now it handles it perfectly - buttery smooth from the first frame! π
Just dropped an update for the Object Interpolation component - made it a bit faster and tweaked the formula so itβs smoother than ever. Compatible with Defold version 1.10.4 and newer.

Started as a simple car settings menuβ¦ soon itβll be NASA mission control.

It's obvious that this clone was made by a professional team to make money. It wasn't made by a schoolboy during lunch breaks as a joke for his friends, as platforms like Roblox with user-generated content like to portray it.
The widget is created using Dear ImGui, a tool that powers the entire gamedev.
It is also available for Defold!

First steps in fine-tuning vehicle physics!

I figured out how the graphics settings menu appears in video games - the developers just put all the options they use themselves in there.
I did the same thing, but I also moved the menu to the side so that you can see the result right away!

At the end of the video, the wheel bounced up - this is normal behaviour π€£ (for now)
Testing skid marks. Done effortlessly - as lines drawn with the Hyper Trails extension and reoriented to the appropriate plane.

When it's done π
This custom-built interpolation component has simplified our work with physics running in fixed time step mode so much that I now use it EVERYWHERE!
