Defold is a free game engine that can be used for developing high-performance console, PC, mobile and even HTML5 web games.

• No setup: Defold comes fully featured out of the box. There’s nothing to set up or configure, not even when building. Simply download the editor and get creative.
• Truly cross-platform: Using just one code base, and without the need for external tools, Defold lets you publish your game to all of the major platforms, including PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, MacOS, Linux, Windows, Xbox, HTML5, and more.
• 2D focused, 3D capable: Defold is built from the ground up as a 3D engine with special focus on top-notch tools for 2D game creation. Build your games using a component based system for maximum performance and modularity.
• Animation: Defold has a powerful animation system for visual components and scripts. Use flipbook animations for sprites and other 2D components, bone animations for models and property animations for movement, rotation, tweens and other values.
• Artist friendly: Assemble and layout your game in the artist friendly scene editor. Build levels, player characters, bosses, screens and user interface components all from within the editor.
• Advanced physics simulations: Attach collision shapes and physics properties to your objects and have them interact in real time. React to collisions using code to create complex interactions.
• Fully scriptable: Write all of your game logic using the Lua scripting language. Lua is a commonly used scripting language for games with an easy to learn syntax and great performance.
• Performance and stability: Defold has a very small engine runtime and it performs really well even on old hardware. The engine is designed from the ground up to conserve memory, take up little disk space and not waste CPU cycles. Keeping the engine small allows you to release games on platforms which many other engines are unable to support.
• Rapid workflow: Long turnaround time kills productivity and hampers creativity. Developers should be able to rapidly test new ideas, iterate on game mechanics or tweak levels. That is why a Defold build usually takes only a couple of seconds. You’re even able to push new or updated content and game logic to an already running game on your desktop, phone or console.
